ICST, a Europe-based professional society, acts as the interlocutor of the ICT revolution and its global impact on technology and society.

ICST sponsors ICT-related research, innovation, technologies, and their applications that can be harnessed into the advancements of all sectors of human society. By viewing ICT as the axis of the next revolution, ICST brings together diverse ICT research efforts in various sectors of science, technology and business to maximize the impact and benefits of ICT.

ICST is a global society reaching out to professionals on all continents who are interested in ICT science, technology, or business and their applications, to the emerging disciplines of the 21st century. As an interface between Europe and the world, ICST works to facilitate international collaboration and links the global and the European academic, scientific, engineering, and business communities in all ICT-related disciplines. By providing effective, innovative, and location-independent platforms for the generation, dissemination,and sharing of research, technology, and business information, ICST links ideas with opportunities, and industry with policy makers, thus providing a gateway for joint exploitation and promotion of research and innovation.

ICST views the grassroots partnership of scientists, engineers, and community leaders as the primary catalyst for accelerating research, supporting technology transfer, and the resulting innovation. In order to allow participation from around the world without discrimination on the basis of economic status or location, ICST is dedicated to pursue web-based membership policies that: allows no membership fee for participation; encourages a proactive, prosumer-based approach to contribution by rewarding Society activities; makes its members partners in the Society benefits in direct proportion to the value of their contribution; provides participation incentives which inherently lead to promoting innovation, prestige, and excellence, and uses global web communities to recognize excellence by community, not by committee.

ICST ultimately strives to promote the full potential of ICST as the ubiquitous engine for growth, development, and improved quality of life. To this end, the ICST institute pledges to support endeavors that are of benefit to its members, and through their success, to the human society at large.

Being one of the largest organizers of scientific/technical/business events in the general ICT field and its applications, ICST sponsors annually over a hundred international symposiums, conferences and workshops covering dozens of ICT topical areas directly related to or impacted by information and communication technologies. Beyond traditional areas of computer science and engineering, ICST sponsored events address all walks of life with an ICT orientation, such as sustainable energy, environment and transport, medicine, health, arts, immersive environments, simulation, modeling, entertainment, nanotechnology, social-networking, digital and electronic forensics, nano-comunications, robotics, virtual worlds, auction theories, bionetics, etc. Through workshops, demos, exhibits and tutorials, ICST is encouraging the exchange of ideas and the dissemination of research results in these cutting edge and emerging research areas as well.

ICST provides an open interoperable collaborative scientific infrastructure to support these conferences and innovation activities and their dissemination. Also supporting the conferences are publication portfolios consisting of a series of innovative tools designed to promote innovation and drastically shortening the time from idea to publication, providing inherent incentives for quality. In addition, ICST activities provide society members with a wide array of opportunities to e-publish within the frameworks and instruments of the traditional archival publishing through e-books, e-journals, magazines and similar.

• Distributed Generation

  Distributed Generation (DG) has an essential role to play in reducing emissions and improving security of supply because it can use relatively small, localised, sources of fuel (often renewable) to generate electricity, with or without heat. How much DG can be tolerated on each voltage level of a network and concerns about stability and intermittency are among the issues discussed in this stream.
