Introduction:
15th International Conference on Frontiers of Information Technology (FIT'17) will be held from December 18-20, 2017 at Islamabad, the beautiful capital of Pakistan. It is the fifteenth consecutive year that COMSATS Institute of Information Technology (CIIT) is organizing this prestigious event. Familiarity with technology is mandatory to enable a person to live and to cope with challenges of the modern world and ICT bridges the gap to cope with the said challenges. This conference is a premier forum for the presentation and exchange of experiences and innovative ideas in the field of Information and Communication Technologies.
The conference is annually organized with the principal aim to focus on modern trends pertaining to computer sciences, engineering, and other related areas. The event initially was organized as international workshop for six years and was then upgraded to an international conference. The first international workshop on Frontiers of Information Technology was organized by COMSATS Institute of Information technology, Pakistan in collaboration with professors from University of Illinois, Chicago and Purdue University and was sponsored by HEC and NSF. Since its inception, the conference provided a cohesive networking opportunity as well as a forum where state of the art research in the area of Information and Communication Technology is shared.
FIT 2017 is technically sponsored by IEEE Computer Society, IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, and IEEE Islamabad Section.
Accepted papers will be published on IEEE Xplore. The proceedings of

Call for Papers:
FIT 2017, commencing on 18th December 2017 for three days, promises to be another exciting event that will broaden the research horizons by providing international research collaborations. FIT 2017 will have the honor to host leading researchers not only from Pakistan but also from rest of the world. The Technical Conference Program consists of following 7 major tracks.
Modeling, Simulation, and Applications of Emergent Technologies
Signal Processing and Communications
Smart Grid and Electronics
Web, Application Development & Data Mining
Image processing, Computer Vision & Pattern Recognition
Computer and Communication Networks, and Cloud Computing
Software Engineering
Researchers and practitioners with interest in any of the above stated tracks are invited to submit their original unpublished work as per IEEE format latest by June 30, 2017. Submitted paper will go through intensive peer review process on the criteria of originality and relevance of work.
Call for Ph.D. Symposium:
The FIT 2017 PhD Symposium will provide a unique opportunity for PhD students, working in all areas of Information Technology to present their ongoing research work to renowned and experienced researchers. The objective of the PhD symposium is to provide a platform, where students can expose, discuss, and evaluate their ideas by interacting with the experts from similar domains. Moreover, students can create a network by establishing a supportive community of researchers.
To participate in the symposium, the PhD students are invited to send a short paper (extended abstract) related to their ongoing research. Reviewers on the PhD Symposium Panel will review the short paper to decide regarding the acceptance or rejection of the paper. Accepted papers will be invited for oral presentation.
Call for Tutorials:
The Organizing Committee FIT 2017 also invites proposals for tutorials to be held during the conference, December 18-20, 2017. The organizing committee seeks proposals on emerging subjects in the area of information technology. The tutorial will be of 2 hours or a half day. The ideal tutorial should attract a wide range of audience. The tutorials should cover the topic in depth and it should not be the current work of the presenter or some commercial presentation. The following information is required to be presented in the proposal:
Title of tutorial
Topic description
Aims and learning objectives
Profile/CV of the presenter
