This volume presents research from the XOVETIC2019 conference, focusing on emerging ICT fields. The conference, held in A Coruña, Spain, aimed to connect young researchers in areas such as big data, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, high-performance computing, cybersecurity, bioinformatics, natural language processing, and 5G. This collection of papers offers a platform for these researchers to share their findings with a national audience, fostering collaboration and the advancement of ICT knowledge. The event, now in its second edition, seeks to establish itself as a significant international forum.

This collection of proceedings from XOVETIC2019 serves as a snapshot of current research by young ICT scholars. The scope of topics covered, from artificial intelligence to cybersecurity and bioinformatics, indicates a broad yet focused exploration of cutting-edge technologies. The emphasis on providing a platform for emerging researchers suggests a forward-looking perspective on the field. The co-funding by the Xunta de Galicia and the European Union underscores the regional and potentially international significance of the research presented.
