ICTCC 2014 was an international scientific conference for research in the field of nature of computation and communication to be held on 24-25 November 2014 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The aim of the conference was to provide an internationally respected forum for scientific research related to the natural aspects of computation and communication. This conference provided an excellent opportunity for researchers to discuss natural approaches and techniques for computation and communication. The proceedings of ICTCC 2014 were published by Springer in series Lecture Notes of the Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering (LNICST) (indexed by DBLP, EI, Google Scholar, Scopus, Thomson ISI).
For this edition, the Program Committee received over 100 submissions from 20 countries and each paper was reviewed by at least three expert reviewers. We chose 34 papers after intensive discussions held among the Program Committee members. We really appreciate the excellent reviews and lively discussions of the Program Committee members and external reviewers in the review process. This year we chose three prominent invited speakers, Prof. Mike Hinchey, Director of Lero (the Irish Software Engineering Research Centre) at University of Limerick in Ireland; Prof. Giacomo Cabri from University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in Italy and Dr. Phan Cong Vinh from Nguyen Tat Thanh University in Vietnam. The abstracts of their talks were included in these proceedings.
ICTCC 2014 was jointly organized by The European Alliance for Innovation (EAI) and Nguyen Tat Thanh University (NTTU). This conference could not have been organized without the strong support from the staff members of both organizations. We would especially like to thank Prof. Imrich Chlamtac (University of Trento and Create-NET), Sinziana Vieriu (EAI), and Elisa Mendini (EAI) for their great help in organizing the conference. We also appreciate the gentle guidance and help from Dr. Nguyen Manh Hung, Chairman and Rector of NTTU.
