The age of information technology has matured and a second wave of more intelligent services for the society is in the reach. We envision the coming decade with advanced professional practices and delivery of services. The ICENCO conference is a major collaboration among researchers and practitioners around the world, along with our ten year graduates class of 2008. It harnesses major new frontiers in this evolving smart world with cutting edge research in various fields within that area. This year’s theme aims at exploring how the cyber world is fusing borders giving an advantage for computer engineers to enhance human life everywhere at all times. Authors are kindly encouraged to send an open essential question related to their submissions that would impact the shape of our future world.
