   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.
