Call For Papers
The International Arab Conference on Information Technology (ACIT'2007)
is a forum for scientists, engineers, and practitioners to present their latest research,
results, ideas, developments, and applications in all areas of information technology.
ACIT’2007 will include presentations to contributed papers and state-of-the-art lectures
by invited keynote speakers. Tutorials on current issues and panel sessions on new trends
related to information technology and software industry could be organized. This conference
is considered the official scientific conference for the Colleges of Computer and Information
Society, stemming from the Association of Arab Universities. The permanent General Secretariat
of ACIT is hosted by Zarqa Private University, Jordan.
LOCATION
ACIT 2007 will be held at the Arab Academy for Science & Technology
and Maritime Transports (AAST) branch in collaboration with Tishreen University,
located at Lattakia, Syria'a main sea-port. It is located 186 Km southwest of Aleppo,
348 Km north of the capital Damascus. Syria is the cradle of civilizations that flourished
through history. It lies at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea. Syria has a varied and
unique geographic nature. In the west, Mount Hermon constitutes the highest peak and covered with
a year-long snow. Lattakia Mountain is covered with thickets and forests. The central part is covered
by Al-Cham Desert (Al-Badia) where plains and pasture lands lend an unusual charm to a vast terrain of sand
rock. In the south-west, the Ghuta form a green belt of orchards surrounding Damascus. In the south, Jabal Al-Arab
forms the greater part of the region with its hills, volcanic rocks, historic cities, and rich vineyards.
Tourists enjoy buying local products unique for their distinctive originality such as silk brocade embroidered
with gold & silver threads, hand-made rugs, glass works, and delicious Syrian sweets. TOPICS

in your paper. The abstract should be concise and not longer than 250 words. Immediately following
the abstract, no more than six keywords are to be supplied for subject indexing. Keywords should not
simply be taken from the title of the paper, but should be representative of the content of the whole
paper and characteristic of the terminology used within the particular field of study. The introduction
of the paper must be clearly written and should explain the nature of the problem, previous work, purpose
and the contribution of the paper. The introduction is assigned number “1”, and following sections are assigned
numbers as needed. A conclusion section must be included and should indicate clearly the advantages, limitations,
possible applications, and future work. The references section is not assigned a number. References should be
numbered in alphabetical order by the first author’s last name. Citations in the text should be by number and
enclosed in square brackets, e.g. [1]. Electronic submission of papers as Microsoft’s Word document or PDF via
ACIT OpenConf is a must. ACIT OpenConf is a conference management system that automates the paper submission and
the whole reviewing process. It can be accessed via ACIT web site at www.acit2k.org. Any question regarding submission
or the reviewing process should be directed to http://www.acit2k.org/openconf/openconf.php. A final preparation format
is available in the conference web site. Before final acceptance, all referees comments must be considered and the paper
must be formatted according to ACIT camera-ready instructions that are provided in the conference web site. Accepted papers
for authors who complete registration will be published in the conference proceedings.
EVALUATION PROCESS
The evaluation of submitted papers is based on the importance and usefulness of the research topic.
Technical merits, novelty of the approach, soundness of results, and clarity of presentation are also considered
as factors of the evaluation process. Each article will be fully refereed by a minimum of two specialized referees.ORGANIZATION
