******* Call for Paper

Information Technology (IT) plays a vital role in today's global economy. Besides its phenomenal impact on financial and industrial sectors in the past decade, Information Technology is also rapidly changing the landscape of research and education. Research in advanced telecommunications, networking and computing, calls for innovative data representation tools, high-speed simulation platforms, and analytical instrumentation with which to explore and enhance both experimental and existing methodologies. Education is changing with the advent of new interactive on-line learning technologies, multimedia electronic libraries and collaborative workspaces, improving knowledge sharing and education practices.

ITRE2003 invites proposals for peer-reviewed individual papers, full panels, special sessions, demonstrations and workshops for the first international conference dedicated to Information Technology with specific focus on its applications in research and education. The mission of ITRE2003 is to provide a forum for IT professionals, theoretical researchers, and practical educators in which to share insights and experiences of the current state-of-the-art information technologies, pedagogy and academic-industry collaborations, and to contribute to a vision of the future of IT that will shape the emerging high-tech workforce. Topics of interested areas include but not limited to:

-- Research/Education Methodology: * Impacts of on-line learning to high level education * Practical and new models of on-line learning * Web-based Software Engineering for on-line learning * Simulation tools to support virtual lab * CSCW tools to support joint research activities * Open technology for collaborative participant design -- Information Networking: * Network management and measurement * Quality of service and network protocols * Information and network security * Wireless and multimedia communication systems * Internet and Intranet * Peer-to-peer technology and networking * Optical switches and WDM networks

-- Systems and Applications: * Tutoring and learning systems * Collaborative systems -- Multimedia Technology: * Multimedia server and proxy design * Real-time multimedia signal processing * Multimedia indexing and retrieval * Multimedia application system infrastructure * Multimedia security -- Human-Computer Interface: * Multimodal interface * Mobile collaboration * Usability interface and designs * Augmented virtual reality * Interactive video conferencing -- Information Management: * Intelligent agents and mobile agents * Parallel and mobile computing * Monitoring of information and network flow * Information retrieval and visualization * Data mining and data warehouse * Knowledge acquisition and representation ******* Important Dates:

January 15, 2003: Special session or Workshop proposal due. February 1, 2003: Panel proposal due. February 1, 2003: Original, full-length, unpublished papers due. March 1, 2003: Demo/Exhibition proposal due. April 1, 2003: Notification of acceptance. May 1, 2003: Final camera-ready manuscript due.
