Dear fellows!

The spring is coming again with flowers and buds here in Gyeongju, Korea where is the venue of ICT/ACT 2019. We wish your plans for the New Year go as smoothly as spring breeze, one by one.

We believe your preparation of the paper for the ICT/ACT 2019 is going well, too. It is just a reminder that the deadline of the abstract submission is approaching by this weekend (March 15). Your early submission will be greatly appreciated if you plan for it.

The 2019 ICT proceedings will be published again as an article collection in the Journal of Electronic Materials (JEM) like we did before.

Please refer to the following information.

Best regards,

The Organizing committees of the ICT/ACT 2019
