The Mediterranean coastal city of Limassol in Cyprus, a top holiday destination, is hosting the 24th International Conference on Telecommunications. This year’s theme focuses on intelligence built into devices, systems, and processes. The ample computation, communication and sensing/actuation capabilities offered by increasingly miniaturized and low-cost electronic devices is enabling a myriad of new applications with transformative implications to numerous economic sectors. It is organized by the KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence of the University of Cyprus.
