ABOUT IF-FTT’2023 The IF-FTT’2023 forum will receive technical support from the IEEE AP-S and IEEE MTT-S societies. The IF-FTT’2023 is a world-class forum where researchers, practitioners, and educators may present and debate the most recent concepts, patterns, successes, and difficulties in the field of telecommunications, technologies, and system product line engineering. The IF-FTT’2023 forum will provide an opportunity to learn from both the latest research and the real-world experiences of industry professionals. The IF-FTT’2023 Tracks - Research. - Industry. - Challenge cases. - Challenge solutions. - Contributions to workshops. - Tutorials and demonstrations tools. The IF-FTT’2023 forum seeks invited talks sessions related to the forum tracks to be held during the forum days. The invited talks may be held in a hybrid format (attend and/or online) as part of the forum’s technical program. The program committee is looking for proposals on a wide range of topics and levels, from fundamentals to the most recent advances in hot subtopics of all forum tracks, by October 15, 2023. All proposals will be reviewed by peers before a final selection is made. This is to make sure that there is a wide range of forum track proposals that are relevant to forum attendees and fit into the schedule. All colleagues, postgraduate students, and students are encouraged to participate in the IF-FTT’2023 Forum, and the IEEE Egypt AP-S/MTT-S Joint Chapter wishes them all the best.
