       Euro-American Conference on Telematics and Information Systems

                                 EATIS2006



   Santa Martha, Colombia (South America)

   February 7-10,2006


   This  conference  is  endorsed  by  the International Organization for
   Information Integration and Web-based Applications & Services (@WAS), and
   organized by Faculty of Systems Engineering, University UNAB-Colombia and
   Institute of Robotics, University of Valencia-Spain and supported by the
   Johannes Kepler University Linz-Austria and the Distributed Systems Group,
   Portsmouth University, UK.


   In Technical cooperation with IEEE and IEEE Computer Society


   The  main  focus  of  the  conference  will  be  <<  Accessibility and
   Internationalisation of Web-based Information Systems>>


   Aims

   ------


   The aim of the conference is to actively promote academic collaboration
   between European and American universities. An important objective will be
   the dissemination of knowledge and experience related to the topics outlined
   in the main conference agenda. In particular, the conference will promote
   the relevant state-of-the-art technologies that can potentially provide key
   research directions to young researchers and new research groups. Another
   equally important aspect of the conference will be to focus on access to
   innovation as one of the essential first steps in the research process.
