CALL FOR PAPERS: ICCI '90
International Conference on Computing and Information
Second Annual Conference
May 23 - 26, 1990
Niagara Falls, Canada
CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS
ICCI'90 will be an international forum for presentation of new results
in research, development, and applications in computing and
information. The organizers expect both practitioners and theorists to
attend.
We have been encouraged by the success of the first conference
(ICCI'89). The ICCI'90 Conference will be one day shorter: May
23-26, 1990, and there will be four fixed (but generalized)
streams:
A - Information and Coding Theory
B - Foundations of Computer Science, Theory of Algorithms and Programming
C - Concurrency, Parallelism, and Communications,
D - Data and Software Engineering, Database, Expert Systems,
Information Systems, AI Methodologies, and Decision Making.
Each stream will consist of theoretical papers as well as
presentations on performance issues and implementation techniques.
There will be one invited lecture each day in each stream (except for
the first day keynote lecture).
The conference will be publicized and organized primarily by
electronic mail, although all direct mail inquires will also be
answered (in particular all "old" participants will be invited - what
are friends for!). In addition, the Conference will be advertised in
AMS Notices, ACM and IEEE Communications, and international journals.
We are already placed in three national databases (two in the USA, one
in Europe).
Draft and final papers as well as acceptance letters will be, of
course, sent by regular mail.
The ICCI'89 Conference was sponsored by the Natural Sciences and
Engineering Research Council of Canada. We expect similar support next
year. In addition, ICCI '90 is organized in cooperation with the IEEE
Hamilton Section.
You are invited to review the information contained in this
announcement, and follow the other computer science and mathematics
educators, administrators, researchers and students from: Austria,
Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, P.R. China, Czechoslovakia,
Denmark, East Germany, England, Finland, France, Holland, India, Iraq,
Italy, Japan, Korea, Kuwait, N.Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, Poland,
Singapore, the Soviet Union, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan R.O.C., the USA,
West Germany, and Yugoslavia (listed in alphabetical order) who
participated in the ICCI'89 Conference.
Niagara Falls is a place of beauty, history, romance and power! It is
truly a wonder of the world. We urge you to register today for
ICCI'90.
SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Authors are invited to submit, by January 5, 1990, five copies of
papers (draft version in English, up to 15 double-spaced typed (or 7
typeset) pages to the appropriate Stream Chairman listed below. Each
paper should include a short abstract and a list of keywords
indication subject classification. Sorry, we cannot accept electronic
mail or FAX submissions.
Short papers (up to 3 pages) describing ongoing projects are also
solicited; selected short papers will be included in the Proceedings
and will form the basis of special discussion sessions.
Please note that the draft copy does not need to be impeccable - it
has to be readable. Authors of accepted papers will be notified by
e-mail or FAX. They will be asked to prepare the final camera-ready
version on special mats according to the publisher's requirements.
Each final paper will be given a strict page limit according to the

accepted papers will be printed in refereed proceedings.
SKYLINE BROCK HOTEL/LOCATION

1,000 people with ease and style. You can enjoy the hotel gift shop,
nearby golf, horseback riding, 2,800 acres of Niagara parkland, plus
the convenience of the adjacent Maple Leaf Village Shopping Mall.
