Abstract
Abstracts of accepted posters, and descriptions of accepted workshops and tech-fair presentation categories are included in the proceedings.
The work published in the final book of proceedings are from the following countries: Australia, Belgium, Benin, Ethiopia, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Puerto Rico, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, United Kingdom, United States, and Zimbabwe.
This task would simply not have been possible without the commitment, professionalism and support of the Program Committee, 41 academics and professionals, who volunteered their services to ensure the success of the process. We salute them!
The process we followed has guaranteed the academic quality of scholarship delivered at the Conference and that which is published in the Proceedings. This is to comply with the requirements for accreditation and funding by the Gibela Research Chair, Tshwane University of Technology, South Africa.
This complete two-tiered, double-blind, peer-reviewed, meta-reviewed process demanded a rigorous peer review and entailed detailed reading of the manuscripts by reviewers and the 10th ICAT Proceedings Editors. We are continuing the legacy of the 9th ICAT as the first virtual ICAT conference as well as having produced the best-looking proceedings.
The sections of the Proceedings book are based on the sub-themes of the conference. The authors selected the themes/topics as part of their submission process.
A number of sub-themes did not receive many submissions, since the early calls, and they were combined with other themes after the final submissions phase. The final set of sub-themes is used for the topic sections in this book of proceedings. In being grounded in technology and local context, the conference theme and topics, are evolving and changing, with ICAT and time. We hope that you find much food for AT thought
