September 7, 2023----Important Announcement----Virtual Conference

Dear friends and esteemed colleagues,

Warmest greetings. Hope all are doing well.

At the outset, we are humbled and grateful for your overwhelming response to the cfp for the 10th edition of ISCMI. The same had indeed, kept the Program Chairs and IPC members extremely busy now-a-days who are carrying out a remarkable job in processing such voluminous submissions received so far and based on the feedback, more are expecting in the coming days.

We were really hopeful to revert to the conventional physical format in 2023 after grappling with the aftermath of Covid-19 restrictions over the past few years. Preparations towards that were in full swing at our Secretariat, which were reminiscent of our conferences before Covid surfaced.

However, it appears that the Pandemic had changed the conference landscape for ever. This is clearly manifest in the choice of the delegates when bulk of the registrations of the accepted papers, confirmed so far, had opted for online presentations. And it is noteworthy that among the registered authors who preferred online participations, there are a no. of those who during the pre 2020 days, were very keen and enthusiastic about conference travel and on-site meetings.

By observing this trend and to minimize confusions among the potential delegates, our Core committee had recently decided to abandon our plan for organizing 2023 10th ISCMI in physical mode. Accordingly I formally announce that ISCMI23 will be organized online as in the previous few years.

We will no doubt, continue to miss the warmth of the face-to-face interactions with the delegates. At the same time, it is earnestly hoped you will understand our constraints and continue your support for ISCMI in the coming days.

With kind regards,

Suash Deb
General Chair, ISCMI 2023
