Over the last few years, IWDC has emerged as an internationally renowned forum for interaction among researchers from academia and industries around the world. A clear indicator of this fact is the large number of high-quality submissions of technical papers received by the workshop this year. The workshop program consisted of 12 technical sessions with 54 contributed papers, two keynote addresses, four tutorials, a panel, a poster session and the Prof.A.K.ChoudhuryMemorialLecture.TheIWDCProgramCommittee,c- prising 38 distinguished members, worked hard to organize the technical p- gram.
