Among a wide range of topics covered by COMPSAC, several symposia cover a broad range of networking and computing technologies as well as advanced applications and services. COMPSAC 2019 is held in Milwaukee, USA, on July 15-19, 2019.

Your contribution to this special issue would be greatly appreciated.
