The 2020 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Computing and Data Communication Systems (icABCD) is aimed to be an annual conference for researchers, academicians and industry persons in the field of Computer Science, Information Systems & Communication Technologies, Engineering and related fields. icABCD 2020 will be organised as an e-conference from Durban, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa with support from the IEEE South Africa Section on 6-7 August 2020. We hope that this conference will attract a large number of delegates from all over the world and will consist of very high-quality technical sessions. Due to COVID-19 restrictions and constraints, icABCD 2020 will be held as a virtual conference.  

This 2-day conference will include invited keynotes and oral presentations. icABCD 2020 will provide a forum for researchers from both academia and industry to exchange the latest innovations and research advancements in artificial intelligence, fourth industrial revolution, big data, soft computing, cloud computing, networking, sensor networks, internet of things, environmental computing, Societal aspects of Computing, ICT in Education, ICT in Health,  blockchain and computer security.

Authors are invited to contribute original research papers which can be submitted electronically via the conference website. The papers accepted after the review and presented in the conference will be submitted for potential inclusion in IEEE Xplore Digital Library, provided they meet IEEE quality standards (IEEE Conference Number 49160).
