Amorphous computing, artificial intelligence, biomedical mining, cyborgs, machine learning, neural networking, robotics, and swarm intelligence are now established. Trending fields in information technology include Big Data, cloud computing, IPv6, mobility, Bring Your Own Device, the Internet of Things, software-defined networking, and software-as-a-service.

That's a frequently asked question. The previous answers give a good overview. An answer with good explanations can be found here: https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-Latest-Trends-in-Information-Technology

If you want to approach the question systematically, I recommend an analysis of the research areas of universities. These are easily accessible for research.

I would also added decentralization and smart contracts to this list.

1) RPA (Robotic Process Automation):

RPA Training

2) Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality

3)DevOps

4) Intelligent Apps (I – Apps)

5) Blockchain

Depends on the definition of 'hot'

1. artificial intelligence,

2. machine learning

3. Data Mining

4. cloud computing

5. Internet of Things (IOT)

6. software-as-a-service.

Data mining

Cloud computing

Web/mobile applications

Artificial Intelligence

I propose the following and current research topic in the field of ICT information technologies: The role and significance of ICT information technologies in the field of improving anti-pandemic security instruments, crisis management, pandemic risk management, development of remote forms of implementation of various activities and spheres of people's lives via the Internet (e-commerce, e-commerce, -learning, e-banking, e-office, e-government, etc.) and implementation of computerized systems for reducing the scale of the impact and development of the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic. On the other hand, the analysis may include the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic on the development and increase in the scale of digitization and internationalization of remote communication processes, purchases made via the Internet, remote work performed, online settlements and payments, remote execution of official matters e.t.c.

Have a nice day, Stay healthy! Best wishes,

Thank you very much

Dear Afolabi I. Awodeyi,

I would like to refer to the following current megatrend in Information Technology:

Development of Digital Twins and their Integration into the IoT.

A Digital Twin (DT) is a virtual image of a Physical Twin (PT). A PT can represent: a physical object, a simple / distributed system or a process. A DT can also represent a Human in virtual space. The creation of DTs is based on a Knoweledge Database (KD). To set up the KD, a Big Data Analysis with various AI-based processes must be used.

The main goal of every Digital Twin is to maintain the complete life cycle of its Physical Twin

The Human Digital Health Twin (HDTH) will be extremely important for IoT-based Health Care Solutions.

In particular, I would like to point out the following areas where DTs will be of great importance:

• DTs in the Industrial IoT, Industrie 5.0
• HDTH-based Intelligent Healthcare Systems
• DT-based Concepts for Smart Building and Smart Home
• Intelligent DT&IoT-based Service for Smart Cities
• DTs for Autonomous Driving and Collision Avoidance
• DTs for complex Energy Systems, DTs and Energy 4.0
• DTs for remote Maintenance and Inspection of Systems
• Use of DTs for Climate Protection

Best regards

Anatol Badach

Alot. How about Subspace Representation Learning

I think Artificial intelligence and its potential in other discipline is a hot topic of research.

Also, blockchain in energy trade seems to be a promising track of research!

you can have a look on the article below, it is not a scientific one, however it presents some of new trends in IT research topics:

https://custom-writing.org/blog/research-topics-on-technology-computer-science

Blockchain,Data mining,AR,virtual reality are hot topics.

Big data

AI

Data Mining

I propose the following current topic in the field of information technology: The application of new information technologies ICT and Industry 4.0, the technology of the present fourth technological revolution, incl. Internet of Things, cloud computing, Big Data Analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, etc. for creating open databases, modeling in the "digital twins" formula, forecasting complex processes using computerized applications using mathematical probabilistic models and Business Intelligence instruments for creating multi-faceted projections of complex climatic, natural, social, economic processes, etc. in the context of the mission of protecting the biodiversity of natural ecosystems, protecting the biosphere and climate of our unique planet Earth.

Best regards,
