============================== Apologies if you receive multiple copies LAST Call for Submissions ICCGI 2006, International Conference on Computing in the Global Information Technology Bucharest, August 1-3 , 2006 For submissions, go on the ICCGI 2006 page at http://www.iaria.org/conferences/ICCGI06.html and click "Submit a paper". Important dates: Submission deadline March 15, 2006 Notification April 5, 2006 Camera ready April 20, 2006 The International Multi-Conference on Computing in the Global Information Technology (ICCGI 2006) initiates a series of international events covering a large spectrum of topics related to global knowledge concerning computation, technologies, mechanisms, cognitive patterns, thinking, communications, user-centric approaches, nanotechnologies, and advanced networking and systems. The conference topics focus on challenging aspects in the next generation of information technology and communications related to the computing paradigms (mobile computing, database computing, GRID computing, multi-agent computing, autonomic computing, evolutionary computation) and communication and networking and telecommunications technologies (mobility, networking, bio-technologies, autonomous systems, image processing, Internet and web technologies), towards secure, self-defendable, autonomous, privacy-safe, and context-aware scalable systems. This conference intends to expose the scientists to the latest developments covering a variety of complementary topics, aiming to enhance one's understanding of the overall picture of computing in the global information technology. ICCGI 2006 comprises a series of independent tracks that complement the challenges on various facets of computation, systems solutions, knowledge processing, system implementation, and communications and networking technologies. The following topics are suggested (but not limited to): Track 1: Industrial systems Track 2: Evolutionary computation Track 3: Autonomic and autonomous systems Track 4: Bio-technologies Track 5: Knowledge data systems Track 6: Mobile and distance education Track 7: Intelligent techniques, logics, and systems Track 8: Knowledge processing Track 9: Information technologies Track 10: Internet and web technologies Track 11: Digital information processing Track 12: Cognitive science and knowledge agent-based systems Track 13: Mobility and multimedia systems Track 14: Systems performance Track 15: Networking and telecommunications Track 16: Software development and deployment Track 17: Knowledge virtualization Track 18: Systems and networks on the chip Track 19: Context-aware systems Track 20: Networking technologies Track 21: Security in network, systems, and applications Track 22: Knowledge for global defense We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics short papers on work in progress, workshops, and panel proposals.
