During the KCS event, the participants gathered from academia, institutes, industry, and government sectors also expand social networking, enlarge their knowledge, and establish the foundation of potential collaborations. The prestigious keynote speeches and exhibits will also be provided for sharing the latest trends and vision of various technologies.

The presented papers will be published in the KCS Proceedings with an ISSN number.
In addition, the extended versions of the selected papers will be published in the following international journals as a special issue or section for the KCS: JCN (SCIE), Wireless Personal Communications (SCIE), Int’l. Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks (SCIE), Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing (SCIE), ICT Express (Scopus), and KICS Journal (KCI).
