GENERAL INFORMATION
        
          The 31st International Conference on Information Networking (ICOIN) is organized by KIISE and technically co-sponsored by IEEE Computer Society. For the past 31 years, computer communication and networking technologies have changed every aspect of our lives and societies. While computer networks have contributed largely to the current ICT advancement, it will play a key role in new ICT paradigms such as IoT and cloud computing and will be applied to various areas of the upcoming society including industry, business, politics, culture, medicine and so on.
          
          ICOIN is the most comprehensive conference focused on the various aspects of advances in computer communication and networking technologies. The main purpose of ICOIN 2017 is to improve our research by achieving the highest capability and encourage open discussions on computer communication and networking technologies. Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate recent advances in computer communications, wireless/mobile networks, and converged networks in the theoretical and practical aspects. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings with an assigned ISBN number and submitted to IEEE Xplore, SCOPUS, and EI Compendex.
