GENERAL INFORMATION
The aim of the Conference is to promote the meeting of researches
involved in development and application of methods and techniques from
the broad framework of information technology and especially those
involved in the field of computer science, information systems,
operations research and statistics.
ITI seeks papers that will advance the state of the art in the filed,
and help foster increased interaction between academic and application
communities.

ITI will entertain papers, posters, panel proposals, tutorials and
workshops in the areas of basic research, experiences of technology
transfers and analysis of empirical research. Contributions describing
results of investigations, and not simply proposed ones, are solicited
in any of the topics suggested below.
