The IEEE 13^th International Conference on Innovations in Information Technology (IIT’18), (https://conferences.uaeu.ac.ae/iit18/en/index.shtml), is a premier forum for presenting and discussing technology advances and research in the field of Information Technology. IIT’18 is the 13^th in a series that started back in 2004. IIT’18 is technically co-sponsored by IEEE. The last 10 cycles of the conference were also technically co-sponsored by IEEE, and the proceedings are indexed in IEEE Xplore. IIT’18 brings together leading innovators in Research & Development and Entrepreneurs in IT from all around the world.  The latest advances in fields from computer science to evolving information security and data science applications and technologies are explored in the specialized tracks of the IIT’18 conference. The proposals for special sessions are also invited to complement the conference tracks, offering an opportunity for an extended form of presentation or interaction than the regular conference program presentations.

We look forward to your involvement and participation in this year’s event.
