Symposium on Progress in Information and Communication Technology (SPICT) 2009 was successfully organized on 7-8 December 2009, in conjunction with two other events, i.e. Post-International Conference on Neural Information Processing (ICONIP) Workshop on Intelligent Computing 2009 (WAIC-09), and 2nd Malaysia Development Corporation (MDeC) R&D Forum.
Despite the short notice given in our Call for Papers (CFP), SPICT-09 managed to received a total of 64 submissions, from over 31 different institutions in 12 different countries. The paper review was a double-blind peer review process, and each paper is sent and reviewed by at least 3 experts in the respective areas. Finally only 26 papers are accepted and registered to attend. The international response for this event was indeed very encouraging, and we hope that it will be an indicator of a future trend as this conference continues.
The two-day event run smoothly with high rate of presence from the participants and presenters. Out of the 26 presentation sessions, only 3 presenters are not able to present in the event. Some snapshots of the event are available here: http://spict.utar.edu.my/SPICTImageGallery09.html
To continue to organize an event which is affordable to the whole, and to encourage young researchers to meet and discuss, we have allocated a permanent server and URL for this purpose, i.e. http://spict.utar.edu.my. In this website, we have put in the proceedings of the conference here:
