The Program Committee of TICAL2018 and the 2nd Latin American e-Science Meeting published this Tuesday, July 17, the detailed program of the events, which will take place between September 3 and 5, at the Las Americas Convention Center, in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia.

TICAL and ‘e-Ciencia’ will be developed jointly for the second consecutive year and will start at 8 a.m. of Monday, September 3, with the opening of the registration desk, followed by the inauguration of the Business Fair.

Confalonieri will bring to TICAL2018 his experience ahead of the Deakin Genie project, chosen as the best IT project in Australia. Hilbert, meanwhile, will share his vast experience in Big Data and more than 10 years in the ECLAC of the Secretariat of the United Nations, where he created and coordinated the Information Society Program.

The traditional parallel sessions will take place during the three days and will be the space dedicated to the presentation of the papers selected in the calls. TICAL will privilege works that present the results of experiences of implementing ICT solutions and strategies in thematic areas such as collaboration, process improvement, personalization, governance and ICT management. The e-Science Meeting, in turn, will prioritize areas such as e-Health, IoT and e-Science, and Online Creation.
