                           CALL FOR PAPERS

ICCI  '2000 will provide   an international forum for researchers  and
practitioners  to present  new  results in research,  development, and
applications in   computing    and  information. Since    1989,   ICCI
conferences  have   attracted  participants  from  over   40 different
countries.   ICCI '2000 will   consist  of four streams  ranging  from
theoretical computer  science to  applied   software systems. It  will
provide   a     unique  opportunity   for     cross-fertilization  and
interdisciplinary information exchange.

     Stream A: Theory. Data Theory and Logic. Information and Coding
     Theory. Algorithms. Theory of Computation.
     Chair: Monty Newborn, newborn at opus.cs.mcgill.ca

     Stream B: Distribution and Parallelism. Distributed Computing and
     Communications. Concurrency and Parallelism.
     Chair: Albert Zomaya, zomaya at ee.uwa.edu.au

     Stream C: Systems and Development. Database Systems. Software
     Engineering and CASE Methodologies. Expert Systems.
     Chair: Hans Loeper, Loeper at mcs.sci.kuniv.edu.kw

     Stream D: Data and Knowledge Engineering. AI Methodologies.  User
     Interfaces.  Data Mining.  Approximate Reasoning.
     Chair: Susan Craw, smc at scms.rgu.ac.uk

     Stream E: Networking and Internet. Information Exploration on the
     World Wide Web. Mobile Computing.
     Chair: Richard Lai, lai at cs.latrobe.edu.au

Papers for any of the above streams are welcome.  All submitted papers
will  be reviewed  on  the  basis  of technical correctness,  quality,
relevance,  originality, significance, and  clarity.   Accepted papers
are expected   to be  published in the    conference proceedings by an
international   publisher.  A selected  number  of  ICCI 2000 accepted
papers will  be  expanded and revised  for possible  inclusion in  the
"Journal of Computing  and Information" and "Knowledge and Information
Systems: An International Journal" by Springer-Verlag.

Proposals for tutorials,  workshops   and  panel sessions are     also
invited.  All  paper  submissions (by   e-mail  or in   hardcopy)  and
proposals for  panels, workshops and tutorials  should  be sent to the
Program Committee Chair at the following address.
