Call for papers

The International Arab Conference on Information Technology (ACIT'2004) is a forum for scientists, engineers, and practitioners to present their latest research, results, ideas, developments, and applications in all areas of information technology. ACIT’2004 will include presentations to contributed papers and state-of-the-art lectures by invited keynote speakers. Tutorials on current issues and panel sessions on the new trends related to information technology and software industry in Arab countries could be organized. This conference is considered the official scientific conference for the Colleges of Computer and Information Society, stemming from the Association of Arab Universities. The permanent General Secretariat of ACIT is hosted by Zarqa Private University, Jordan.

LOCATION
ACIT’2004 will be hosted by Mentouri University of Constantine (UMC), located in Constantine, Algeria. Constantine city is perched on a rock sculpted by Wadi El Rhumel in a natural fortress to a height of 780 m. With about a million inhabitants or more, it is an urban center to strong human concentration, what makes it the third city of the country. The climate of the region is continental, characterized by a heat of 25 to 48°C in summer and a cold weather of -6 to 12 °C in winter. It is practically the capital of the Algerian East and the city of the sciences because of the role of its two universities, Mentouri in the liberal arts and technology and Emir Abdelkader in the religious sciences. Mentouri University, founded in 1969, is considered today as one of the biggest African and Arabian universities. It enjoys a modern architecture turned toward the future. It is built according to the plans of the Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. Fore more information, you can visit www.umc.edu.dz or www.asd-kholladi.com.
