Introduction

The 1st International Conference on Next Generation Computing Applications, NextComp2017,  will  be  held  from July 19-21, 2017  in the Republic of Mauritius. The 2017 NextComp is the flagship conference organized by the University of Mauritius. We invite submissions from academia, government, and industry presenting novel research on state of the art computing technologies, as well as case studies and implementation experiences. The conference will  address new developments in theory and practice in the area of Communication and Computer Networks, Security and Forensics, Intelligent Systems, Data Analytics, Information Management and Enterprise Systems, Bioinformatics and Heathcare Information Systems and Software Engineering Principles, Practices & Applications. The technical program will consist of keynote address and papers presented in regular technical sessions.
Articles will be rigorously reviewed by two experts to decide its suitability for publication in the conference. Acceptance of papers will be communicated to authors by email. Accepted and registered papers will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore.
The conference will be held in Mauritius, situated in the ‘golden triangle’ connecting Asia, Africa and Australia, which is the converging point of global civilizations – a place where one can feel the cosmopolitan pulse of the world. Mauritius has the most amazing white coral sand beaches and crystal clear lagoons, which contrast vividly with the backdrop of black volcanic mountains. It seems that Mother Nature has chosen our beaches to try out a palette of blue, white and sparkle!
