International Conference on Information Technology: Coding and
Computing(ITCC2001)
April 2-4, 2001 Las Vegas, Nevada
Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society
http://www.cs.clemson.edu/~srimani/itcc2001/cfp.html

Scope:
The rapid growth in information science and technology in general and
the complexity and volume of multimedia data in particular have
introduced new challenges for the research community. Of particular
interest is the need for a concise representation, efficient
manipulation, and fast transmission of multimedia data. Applications
such as space science, telemedicine, military, and robotics deal with
large volumes of data which need to be stored and processed in real
time. This conference is intended to serve as a forum to bring together
researchers and practitioners for exchanging ideas, knowledge, and
experience from different areas of specialization in information
technology. The focus will be on application areas including information
storage, processing, and communication.

Submission:
Papers should be original and contain contributions of theoretical or
experimental nature. Interested authors should send an 8-page extended
summary including 5 keywords to one of the Program Chairs,

Student Best Paper Award:
A Student Best Paper will be awarded at the conference. Papers submitted
by students may be considered for the award, which includes full
conference registration. To be eligible, the student must be the sole
author of the paper, or the first author and primary contributor. A
cover letter or email to the Program Chairs must identify the paper as a
candidate for this competition at the time of the submission. (The
winner of the award will present the paper in a plenary speech at the
conference.)

Note: The Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society. A
special issue of an international journal is being planned consisting of
selected papers from this conference. Authors of selected papers will be
invited to submit an extended version for the journal.
