International Conference on Computer and Information Technology
Encyclopedia
International Conference on Computer and Information Technology or ICCIT is a series of Computer Science
and Information Technology
based conferences that is hosted in Bangladesh
since 1997 by a different university each year. ICCIT provides a forum for researchers, scientists, and professionals from both academia and industry to exchange up-to-date knowledge and experience in different fields of Computer Science/Engineering and Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This is a regularly held ICT based major annual conference (held typically in December) in Bangladesh now in its 14th year. ICCIT series has succeeded in engaging the most number of universities in Bangladesh from both public and private sectors. Each new university in Bangladesh have been investing in computer science, computer engineering, information systems, and related fields.
Starting 2008, the ICCIT is co-sponsored by IEEE. For ICCIT 2009, for example, 473 manuscripts were submitted from all over the world, approximately 33% were accepted for presentation and inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library, one of the largest scholarly research database containing over two million records that indexes, abstracts, and provides full-text for articles and papers on computer science, electrical engineering, electronics, information technology, and physical sciences.
ICCIT 2011 will be held on 22–24 December 2011 at the campus of American International University Bangladesh, at Dhaka, Bangladesh.

History
ICCIT trace its history to 1997 when University of Dhaka organized a conference, National Conference on Computer and Information Systems (NCCIS) based on IT and Computer Science. Probably it was the first initiative to organize an IT based conference in Bangladesh with participation from multiple universities. Very next year in 1998, this conference was renamed to its current name and gained international status by opening its door to the participants from outside of Bangladesh. Since then each year a university approved by the ICCIT committee hosts this event during late December.Areas

Journal Special Issues
Starting with ICCIT 2008, a selected number of manuscripts went through further enhancement which upon further extensive review process were considered for inclusion in one of several journal special issues. ICCIT doesn’t end with just conference proceedings but with those that are indexed world-wide and takes many of its better papers to its next logical level to the journals. This is a serious feat for Bangladesh; the outcome from this single conference is allowing for about 30-35 team of researchers each year many of who are from Bangladesh to not consider internal outlets any more but gain first-hand experience in publishing in archival and indexed journals that really matter. This is a major scholarly milestone which makes ICCIT series different than all other technical conferences held in Bangladesh. In its latest iteration, 32 selected enhanced ICCIT 2010 manuscripts after having gone through extensive reviews have been accepted now for inclusion in the following international journals.- Journal of Communications
