The journal aims to publish research that helps advance the theoretical and practical understanding of AI for ICT Applications, Communications Systems, Networks and Computing, and Services Applications and Emerging Topics. The technology advancement in information and communication technology (ICT) sector enables portable devices to be always connected while supporting high data rate, resulting in the recent popularity of smartphones that have a considerable impact in economic and social development. The high processing capability and the ubiquitous connectivity of recent communication devices allow telecommunication technology to be converged with other industry sectors, such as healthcare, automobile, transportation, entertainment, building architecture, and energy. The journal invites short-length (up to 6 pages in double columns) high-quality, original research articles that explicitly address the unique technical challenges encountered in the convergence of information and communication technology. ICT Express accepts review papers without page limits. However, we strongly recommend keeping the page count under 25 pages in double columns for ease of readability.
