The 2001 International Arab Conference on Information Technology (ACIT'2001) is an international conference that will act as a forum for scientists, engineers, and practitioners to present their latest research, ideas, developments, applications, and results in all areas of information technology. The conference will include presentations to accepted papers and state-of-the-art lectures by invited keynote speakers. Tutorials on specialized topics and panel sessions on current issues related to information technology in Jordan and Arab countries will be organized.
ACIT'2000 will be held at Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST). JUST islocated in Irbid, the third largest city in Jordan. It is about 80 Km from the capital city Amman, the old Philadelphia. Jordan is a young country dense with history and a well-traveled bridge between sea and desert, east and west.

Petra and other Jordanian cities offer visitors beautiful holly and tourist sites such as Jerash, Madaba, Karak, Dead Sea, Rum valley, river of Jordan, Maeen hot springs, and others.
