                         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!
