ITU Kaleidoscope 2024 Conference – Call for Papers
TSDSI is proud to partner with ITU Kaleidoscope New Delhi 2024 Conference, being hosted in New Delhi on 21-23 October 2024 in conjunction with the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly 2024 (WTSA-24).
Kaleidoscope 2024: Innovation and digital transformation for a sustainable world is the fifteenth in a series of peer-reviewed academic conferences organized by ITU to bring together a wide range of views from universities, industry and research institutions. Its aim is to foster collaboration and discussion on emerging trends in technologies for a digital and sustainable transformation that can benefit humanity.
The Conference would be of interest to specialists in the fields of ICT and socio-economic development, including researchers, academics, students, engineers, policymakers, regulators, and innovators.
Call for Papers
The conference invites original, academic papers exploring technological innovation and digital transformation’s implications for policy, regulation, legal and ethical frameworks, the economy, and society. Emphasis is placed on how international ICT standards contribute to achieving the UN SDGs.
Contributions should delve into cutting-edge research, transformative technologies, and innovative practices that underpin the digital revolution with a focus on sustainability and standardization. From the fundamental restructuring of network infrastructures to the applications shaping sustainable development, and the enabling technologies driving these advancements, the conference seeks to explore the multi-dimensional facets of innovation and digital transformation.
- Submission of full, original papers should be within eight pages, including a summary and references, using the template available on the event website
- All papers will go through a double-blind peer-review process
- Submission must be made electronically; see http://itu.int/go/K-2024 for more details on online submission (EDAS)
- Paper proposals will be evaluated according to content, originality, clarity, relevance to the conference’s theme and, in particular, significance to future standards
- Suggested (non-exclusive) List of Topics is provided below.
Key Dates
- Submission of full paper proposals: 20 May 2024
- Notification of paper acceptance: 12 July 2024
- Submission of camera-ready accepted papers: 2 August 2024
Publication & Presentation
Accepted and presented papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings.
AWARDS
- A prize fund totalling CHF 6,000 will be shared among the authors of the three best papers, as judged by the Steering and Technical Programme Committees.
- In addition, young authors of up to 30 years of age presenting accepted papers will receive Young Author Recognition certificates.
