Abstract | We are very pleased to introduce the Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Information Management (ICIM 2021). The event will be held at South Kensington Campus, Imperial College London, England, the United Kingdom, from 27th to 29th March, 2021. One of the meaningful and valuable dimensions of this conference is the way it brings together researchers, scientists, academics, and engineers in the field from different countries, and enables discussions and debate of relevant issues, challenges, opportunities, and research findings. The primary focus of ICIM 2021 is to provide an excellent platform for the participants to share and exchange brilliant ideas of original research, and to build international links. We deliver our promise on helping create a bright picture and charming landscape for the areas of information management and systems. We received submissions from China, Jordan, Japan, the United States of America, Belgium, Sultanate of Oman, Mali, Palestine, Russia, Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and other countries. Only 33 submissions were accepted as full papers for publication and presentation in ICIM 2021. These papers provide good examples of current research on relevant topics, covering sustainable strategy, data management, health informatics, group information, digital transformation, psychological well-being, workflow modeling, service dynamics, digital divide, e-government, visual cryptography, defense, lean manufacturing, tourism and social media, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and expert system applications. The success of the conference is due to the collective efforts of everyone involved. We would like to express and record our gratitude and appreciation to the authors for their contributions. Many thanks go as well to all of the reviewers who helped us maintain the high quality of manuscripts included in the Proceedings published by IEEE. We also express our sincere thanks to the members of the conference committees and organising team for their hard work. We wish that all the authors and delegates find ICIM2021 interesting, exciting and inspiring. With very best wishes Shuliang Li Conference Chair of ICIM2021 Imperial College London England UK Fellow (Life) of the British Computer Society The University of Westminster, London |
