CALL FOR PAPERS
Nineteenth IASTED International Conference
APPLIED INFORMATICS - AI'2001
February 19-22, 2001
Innsbruck, Austria
SPONSOR:
The International Association of Science and Technology for Development -
IASTED
LOCATION:
Innsbruck sits in a valley in the Tirolean Alps on the banks of the Inn
River. A medieval gem and Olympic city, Innsbruck has managed to retain its
historical beauty while establishing itself as a dynamic and versatile city
center. In recognition of its cultural and historical significance,
Innsbruck has worked to preserve the artistic and historical treasures that
continue to define it. This city boasts a number of historical landmarks and
artistic treasures, among them the "Black Knights", the Court Palace, The
Golden Rooftop, and the Ambras Castle.
While the history of this city holds great importance, it is also necessary
to mention the abundance of first-class recreational facilities that can be
found in Innsbruck. With the Alps at your feet, there are numerous
opportunities to engage in hiking, skiing, paragliding, and mountain biking,
all amidst breathtaking physical landscapes.
With its mixture of historical, intellectual, and recreational offerings,
Innsbruck is a city that holds something for everyone. It is a unique travel
experience that should not be missed!
