Call For Paper Paper Submission
ICOSST 2023 is a renowned international conference focusing on Open Source Systems and Technologies. It serves as a cross-disciplinary platform for distributed enterprise computing and e-Government. This conference enables both public and private organizations to maintain control over development and deployment costs, transforming the way software applications are designed, implemented, and utilized. Open-source software (OSS) not only offers innovative architectural approaches but also provides robust cross-platforms and frameworks for large-scale distributed systems.
This year, ICOSST 2023 will be conducted in a hybrid mode, allowing presenters to choose between virtual or in-person presentations. We are proud to announce that the event is organized by the Al-Khawarizmi Institute of Computer Science, UET Lahore, in Technical Co-sponsorship and in joint Collaboration with IEEE Computer & Communication Societies, Lahore Section, (R10), Pakistan. This two-day event aims to gather researchers and practitioners from around the globe, offering them an opportunity to exchange ideas and share their experiences concerning the state-of-the-art and future advancements in Open Source systems and technologies.
