Message from the general co-chairs

Welcome to the 19th IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC), which is being held on the beautiful island of Madeira, Portugal. In the past, this conference has been held in Croatia, Egypt, France, Greece, Italy, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Tunisia, and Turkey. The 12th ISCC was held in Aveiro, Portugal in 2007, and we are excited to return to Portugal after 7 years. Madeira, known as the “Pearl of the Atlantic”, is a place with such a diversity of environments, from the sun to the mountains, from the night life to the cuisine, from the wonderful nature to the friendliness of its people, can cater to all tastes. We hope you will be able to sample some of the delights of this truly fascinating place.
