After the success of the 5th World Congress on Information and Communication Technologies (WICT 2015) in Morocco, we are organizing WICT 2016 to provide an opportunity for the researchers from academia and industry to meet and discuss the latest solutions, scientific results and methods in the usage and applications of ICT in the real world. The conference programme will include workshops, special sessions and tutorials, along with prominent keynote speakers and regular paper presentations in parallel tracks. Like previous years, we expect the WICT 2016 proceedings to be published by Springer. All submitted papers will be refereed by experts in the field based on the criteria of originality, significance, quality, and clarity. Like previous editions, all accepted papers presented at WICT 2016 will be selected and recommended for possible publication in Journal Special Issues and Edited Volumes (indexed by SCI, EI Compendex, etc.).

In the past century, our society has been through several periods of dramatic changes, driven by innovations such as transportation systems, telephone etc. Last few decades have experienced technologies that are evolving so rapidly, altering the constraints of space and time, and reshaping the way we communicate, learn and think. Rapid advances in information technologies and other digital systems are reshaping our ecosystem. Innovations in ICT allow us to transmit information quickly and widely, propelling the growth of new urban communities, linking distant places and diverse areas of endeavor in productive new ways, which a decade ago was unimaginable. Thus, the theme of this World Congress is "Innovating ICT For Social Revolutions".

The Organizing Chairs, along with the entire team cordially invite you to submit your proposals for organizing Special Sessions or other conference events and submit your latest research results in the ICT field, and to take part in the upcoming conference, to be held during December 14-16, 2016 in Portugal. WICT 2016 is Co-organized by Machine Intelligence Research Labs (MIR Labs).

We look forward to welcoming you in Portugal!
