=============</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.7pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-size:11pt">CIT-2021 is the 20th edition
of the highly successful International Conference on Computer and Information
Technology. The goal of the conference is to provide a forum for scientists,
engineers and researchers to discuss and exchange novel ideas, results,
experiences and work-in-process on all aspects of computer and information
technology. CIT has become a major platform for researchers and industry
practitioners from different fields of computer and information technology.
Each year, CIT attendees appreciate and benefit from multidisciplinary
exchanges in computer and information technology. In previous years, CIT has
attracted many high quality research papers spanning over the various aspects
of information technology, computing science and computer engineering. These
papers highlight foundational work that strives to push beyond limits of
existing computer technologies, including experimental efforts, innovative
systems, and investigations that identify weaknesses in existing IT services.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.7pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-size:11pt">CIT-2021 is planned to be
hosted in London, UK. However, if the COVID-19 situation and associated travel
restrictions remain, the conference will be held virtually. All accepted papers
are expected to be included in IEEE Xplore and will be indexed by Engineering
Index (EI). The authors of selected best papers will be invited post conference
to extend their contributions for special issues of prestigious journals to be
planned in conjunction with the conference.</span></p>
