Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

I would like to extend my warmest welcome to the participants of the 9th International Conference on Computer and Communication Engineering 2023 (ICCCE 2023) organized by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), Faculty of Engineering, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). The Department and the Faculty have been encouraged to organize bi-yearly ICCCE conferences by the enthusiasm and participation in the previous conferences which drawn from around the world. Our aim in establishing ICCCE series of IEEE supported and Scopus indexed conferences is to make it a landmark in the field of Computer and Communication Engineering, which provides a healthy atmosphere for intellectual exchange of thoughts and sharing of research findings among fellow colleagues, researchers, policy makers and students. The theme of the present conference is “Engineering Research for a Sustainable World“.

The past ICCCE conferences, as well as the current one, has followed a strict regime of IEEE guidelines of blind-review process seconded by the experienced technical committee scrutiny to update the papers based on reviewers’ comments and to comply with the template guidelines. The ICCCE2023 conference has achieved acceptance rate around 71% out of 110 full paper submissions through EDAS from around 20 countries.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the organizing committee and everybody who have worked very hard to make this conference a reality and success. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the distinguished keynote speakers, International Advisory Board members and sponsors. I am also grateful to all the reviewers, as without their effort the high-quality standard for the conference could not have been maintained.

I wish all of you a pleasant hybrid experience and we hope that ICCCE 2023 will be a successful and enjoyable event for all participants.

Wassalam.
