This book covers technical contributions presented at the 23rd International Conference on Information Technology: New Generations (ITNG). The applications of advanced information technology to such domains as astronomy, biology, education, geosciences, security, and health care are among topics of relevance to ITNG. Visionary ideas, theoretical and experimental results, as well as prototypes, designs, and tools that help the information readily flow to the user are of special interest. Machine learning, robotics, high-performance computing, and innovative methods of computing are examples of related topics collected in these proceedings.
