December 13-15, 2023

NaBIC 2023 will be a hybrid conference that will run fully in-person and
fully virtually to take advantage of the best that the two modalities
can offer. Besides regular paper presentations, the technical programme
will include 8-10 plenary lectures and poster sessions. NaBIC 2023
Organising Committee also recognises the benefits of virtual conferences
allowing participation at a cheaper rate. This allows a higher number of
research scholars and students to attend. Selected authors will have the
option to attend and present the papers virtually or present in one of
the three venues in Europe and Asia.

Like previous years, proceedings of NaBIC'23 are expected to be
published with Springer Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Networks and
Systems (LNNS) series. (https://www.springer.com/series/15179)
