Welcome to APIT 2027!

The 2027 9th Asia Pacific Information Technology Conference (APIT 2027) will be held during January 22-24, 2027 in Ritsumeikan University (Osaka Ibaraki Campus), Osaka, Japan. APIT 2027 is an international forum for sharing knowledge and results in theory, methodology and new advances and research results in the fields of Information Technology. The conference will bring together researchers and practitioners from both academia as well as industry to meet and share cutting-edge development in the field. The conference welcomes significant contributions in all major fields of the Information Technology in theoretical and practical aspects. It will put special emphasis on the participations of PhD students, Postdoctoral fellows and other young researchers from all over the world. It would be beneficial to bring together a group of experts from diverse fields to discuss recent progress and to share ideas on open questions. The conference will feature world-class keynote speakers in the main areas.

Humans have been storing, retrieving, manipulating, and communicating information since the  Sumerians  in  Mesopotamia  developed writing in about 3000 BC, but the term information technology in its modern sense first appeared in a 1958 article published in the Harvard Business Review; authors Harold J. Leavitt and Thomas L. Whisler commented that "the new technology does not yet have a single established name. We shall call it information technology (IT)." Their definition consists of three categories: techniques for processing, the application of statistical and mathematical methods to decision-making, and the simulation of higher-order thinking through computer programs. What is the future of IT, and which technology is going to the rule the IT industry?  Let us join in APIT 2027 to enjoy the discussion!

Important Note to Authors Submitting Full Paper about ACM Open Access Publishing Model

---

ACM has introduced a new open access publishing model for the International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). Authors based at institutions that are not yet part of the ACM Open program will be required to pay an article processing charge (APC) to publish their ICPS article in the ACM Digital Library, unless one of their co-authors' institutions is a member or they qualify for a waiver. To determine whether or not an APC will be applicable to your article, please follow the detailed guidance here: https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/author-guidance .

New OA Publishing Model for ICPS

All new ICPS articles will be published open access in the ACM Digital Library. Some papers will require the payment of an article processing charge (APC).

For papers that fall into the following categories, no APC is required; the papers will be published in the DL at no charge:

• If the article type is not eligible for payment of an APC (please refer to the details here of APC-eligible article types).
• If the corresponding author is affiliated with an institution participating in ACM’s transformative ACM Open model.
  • A list of the institutions currently participating in ACM Open is available here.
• If the country in which your institution is located is on this list of countries covered by ACM’s agreements with EIFL and Research4Life and/or classified by the World Bank as low-income countries.

All other articles will require the payment of an APC, as detailed below:

If Authors  individually responsible for payment of APCs, the following APC pricing structure will apply.

If the corresponding author is affiliated with an institution in a lower-middle-income country (as defined by the World Bank) and any of the authors is a member of ACM, the applicable APC is $350 per paper for 2027 conferences.
If the corresponding author is affiliated with an institution in a lower-middle-income country but none of the authors is a member of ACM, the APC is $500 per paper for 2027 conferences.
If the corresponding author is not affiliated with an institution in a lower-middle-income country but at least one of the paper’s authors is an ACM member, the APC is $700 per paper for 2027 conferences.
For all other papers that require the payment of an APC, the APC is $1,000 per paper for 2027 conferences.
Please note that ACM will not be providing refunds for APCs that have already been paid.

APIT 2027 conference group will pay for the APC fee for the authors who are not ACM open program member, not in low-income country and need to Pay The applicable Article Processing Charge (APC) to ACM publishing house.

So the discounted price is as detailed below:

• If the corresponding author is affiliated with an institution in a lower-middle-income country (as defined by the World Bank), the APC is $200 per paper for 2027 conferences.
• For all other papers that require the payment of an APC, the APC is $400 per paper for 2027 conferences.
