ICICA 2026

August 27-29, 2026 | Westminster College, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK

The 15th International Conference on Information Communication and Applications (ICICA 2026) wrapped its three-day hybrid programme at Westminster College, University of Cambridge, running August 27-29, 2026. Drawing onsite attendees and Zoom-based remote participants, the conference connected an international community of researchers, engineers, industry practitioners and students to share breakthroughs in information science, communications and artificial intelligence.

Attendees benefited from three prominent keynote lectures and a slate of invited speeches tackling critical topics such as mobile-security adversarial risks, agent-driven requirements engineering and parameter-free clustering. Parallel onsite and online sessions featured peer-reviewed oral presentations spanning generative-AI multi-agent architectures, federated-learning-based financial risk control, large-model-led technical advances, streaming-data anomaly detection, smart education platforms and next-gen mobile network security assessment. All talks opened for live Q&A, with Best Presentation awards distributed per session to recognise exemplary research.
