PURPOSE This conference is an international forum for researchers and practitioners interested in the advances in, and applications of, communication systems, network management, information systems, and the Internet. It is an opportunity to present and observe the latest research, results, and ideas in these areas. All papers submitted to this conference will be peer reviewed by at least two members of the International Program Committee. Acceptance will be based primarily on originality and contribution. CIIT 2003 will be held in conjunction with the IASTED International Conference on Information and Knowledge Sharing (IKS 2003).

LOCATION This year's CIIT conference will be held at the Mountain Shadows Marriott Resort & Golf Club in the sunny Arizona town of Scottsdale, located just east of Phoenix. Originally inhabited by the Hohokam peoples, the land was purchased in 1888 and became a small farming community. Today, Scottsdale has a population of nearly 200,000 friendly inhabitants, and is famous for its nationally recognized resorts and hotels. Scottsdale also has a wide range of attractions to offer visitors, including the Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West Museum, Scottsdale Center for the Arts, and the Out of Africa Wildlife Park. Its frequent equestrian events and "Rawhide," a replica cowboy town from the 1880s, offer an interesting taste of the "Old West."

The town's warm desert climate makes it easy to enjoy many outdoor activities as well, such as hiking or river rafting through the Sonoran Desert or horseback riding into the mountains. Scottsdale's relaxed lifestyle, rustic steakhouses, and passion for rodeos have given the city the nickname of "the west's most western town," and offers something unique for everyone.

SCOPE The relevant topics for this conference include, but are not limited to, the following:

Communications Systems Personal Communications Computer Communications Multimedia Communications Wireless Communications Mobile Communications RF Communications Satellite Communications Antennas CDMA Systems OFDM Technology Coding and Modulation Channel Measurement Equalization Handoff and Routing Spread Spectrum Communications Protocol Communications Software Signal Processing Applications Modelling and Simulation
