International Conference on Advances in ICT for Emerging Regions
CALL FOR PAPERS

Colombo, Sri Lanka – 01st and 02nd September 2011

International Conference on Advances in ICT for Emerging Regions (ICTer) is the successor to the seminal International Information Technology Conference held in Sri Lanka since 1998, the IITC. It provides a platform where research done in ICT is presented by both local and foreign Computer Scientists and IT Professionals. In order to get wider international participation and to promote computing research in the fast emerging regions of the world especially in Asia-Pacific, it was decided to broadbase the conference and link it with the related International Journal ICTer (www.icter.org). The proceedings of ICTer2011 will be published in both book and online versions with an ISBN number and also in IEEE Explorer. Selected papers will be invited for publication in the ICTer Journal.
