The NAFOSTED Conference on Information and Computer Science (NICS)
The NAFOSTED Conference on Information and Computer Science (NICS)
The NAFOSTED Conference on Information and Computer Science (NICS) is a series of scientific activities supported by the National Foundation for Science and Technology Development (NAFOSTED) to build a durable, innovative and conducive environment for research activities at universities and institutes, improve the research ability of young scientists and establish research groups that meet international standards. The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers from Vietnam and overseas in an academic forum to present and discuss recent advancements and future directions in the field of information and computer science. NICS 2016 will be held at Danang City during September 14-16, 2016 and hosted by The University of Danang.
