PURPOSE
This conference is an international forum for researchers and
practitioners interested in the advances in and applications of
communication systems, network management, information systems, and
the Internet. It is an opportunity to present and observe the latest
research, results, and ideas in these areas. All papers submitted to
this conference will be peer reviewed by at least two members of the
International Program Committee. Acceptance will be based primarily on
originality and contribution. CIIT 2003 will be held in conjunction
with the IASTED International Conference on Information and Knowledge
Sharing (IKS 2002).
LOCATION
This year's CIIT conference will be held at the Mountain Shadows
Marriott Resort & Golf Club in the sunny Arizona town of Scottsdale,
located just east of Phoenix. Originally inhabited by the Hohokam
peoples, the land was purchased in 1888 and became a small farming
community. Today, Scottsdale has a population of nearly 200,000
friendly inhabitants, and is famous for its nationally recognized
resorts and hotels. Scottsdale also has a wide range of attractions to
offer visitors, including the Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West
museum, Scottsdale Center for the Arts, and the Out of Africa wildlife
park. Its frequent equestrian events and "Rawhide," a replica cowboy
town from the 1880s, offer an interesting taste of the "Old West."
The town's warm desert climate makes it easy to enjoy many outdoor
activities as well, such as hiking or river rafting through the
Sonoran Desert or horseback riding into the mountains. Scottsdale's
relaxed lifestyle, rustic steakhouses, and passion for rodeos have
given the city the nickname of "the west's most western town," and
offers something unique for everyone.
