Institute of Business Administration (IBA) is the oldest graduate business school outside North America. It was established in 1955 in collaboration with the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce, University of Pennsylvania. The Faculty of Computer Science (FCS) in IBA was established in 1983 with the collaboration of IBM.

IBA FCS endeavors to promote and uplift academic and organizational research activities in the discipline of computer science and information's systems. Our aim is to provide a quality platform for acquiring, sharing, and disseminating results of completed and ongoing indigenous research activities. We hope to cultivate a strong tradition of applying state of the art research to the local contexts and solving local problems that can serve as global examples. In order to achieve this we encourage and espouse collaborations with leading researchers around the world and keep exchange and growth of ideas in the prime focus.

ICICT is a biannual event and is entering its second decade of disseminating quality research in the disciplines of information and communication technologies. Papers are invited each time in the areas of artificial intelligence, robotics, social computing, wireless sensor networks, e-learning, computational science and other emerging topics. This year's conference theme is "ICT in Everyday Life". We hope you will enjoy the traditional Pakistani hospitality at ICICT 2017, Karachi.
