The international multi-topic conference IMTIC 2008 was held in Pakistan during April 11-12, 2008. It was a joint venture between Mehran University, Jamshoro, Sindh and Aalborg University, Esbjerg, Denmark. Apart from the two-day main event, two workshops were also held: the Workshop on Creating Social Semantic Web 2.0 Information Spaces and the Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks. Two hundred participants registered for the main conference from 24 countries and 43 papers were presented; the two workshops had overwhelming support and over 400 delegates registered. IMTIC 2008 served as a platform for international scientists and the engineering community in general, and in particular for local scientists and the engineering c- munity to share and cooperate in various fields of interest. The topics presented had a reasonable balance between theory and practice in multidisciplinary topics. The c- ference also had excellent topics covered by the keynote speeches keeping in view the local requirements, which served as a stimulus for students as well as experienced participants. The Program Committee and various other committees were experts in their areas and each paper went through a double-blind peer review process. The c- ference received 135 submissions of which only 46 papers were selected for presen- tion: an acceptance rate of 34%.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
From the reviews:
"This collection of research papers is composed of revised manuscripts presented at the 2008 International Multi Topic Conference (IMTIC). The papers cover a wide variety of topics on wireless networks, information processing, and systems. . The book may serve as a reference guide for doctoral candidates who wish to pursue research . . On the other hand, the book may interest a large number of readers in the computer science (CS) research community . ." (Mario Freire, ACM Computing Reviews, June, 2009)
