Santa Martha, Colombia (South America)

February 7-10,2006

 

This conference is endorsed by the International Organization for Information Integration and Web-based Applications & Services (@WAS), and organized by Faculty of Systems Engineering, University UNAB-Colombia and Institute of Robotics, University of Valencia-Spain and supported by the Johannes Kepler University Linz-Austria , the Distributed Systems Group, Portsmouth University, UK and the University of  Magdalena, Colombia.

 

In Technical cooperation with IEEE, ACM and Brazilian Computer Society (SBC).

 

The main focus of the conference will be << Accessibility and Internationalisation of Web-based Information Systems>>

 

Aims

------

 

The aim of the conference is to actively promote academic collaboration between European and American universities. An important objective will be the dissemination of knowledge and experience related to the topics outlined in the main conference agenda. In particular, the conference will promote the relevant state-of-the-art technologies that can potentially provide key research directions to young researchers and new research groups. Another equally important aspect of the conference will be to focus on access to innovation as one of the essential first steps in the research process.
