Call for Papers

The fourth in a hugely successful series of biennial international conferences on Internet Technologies and Applications (ITA 11), will be held in Wrexham, North East Wales, UK from Tuesday 6th to Friday 9th September 2011.

The conference will draw together researchers and developers from academia and industry across all fields of Internet computing and engineering. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. There will be an award for 'best paper' and selected papers may be included in a book published by Brown Walker Press.

In addition to a full technical programme, including keynote presentations, papers, posters, tutorials and special sessions, the social itinerary will include a visit to the historic English city of Chester and a mediaeval Welsh banquet at Ruthin Castle.

ITA 11 is also sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) UK and Republic of Ireland Section, the Chester and North Wales Branch of the British Computer Society (BCS), the Wales North Branch of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and IT Wales.

ITA 05, 07 & 09 have been thoroughly enjoyable events.  Please join us in Wales in September 2011 for ITA 11!
