The proceedings of ICTAC 2008 will be published by Springer, LNCS.
Overview:
The ICTAC series, founded by the United Nations University's International
Institute of Software Technology (UNU-IIST), brings together practitioners
and researchers from academia, industry and government to present research
and to exchange ideas and experience addressing challenges in both
theoretical aspects of computing and in the exploitation of theory through
methods and tools for system development. A further aim is to promote
cooperation in research and education between participants and
institutions from developing and industrial countries, as in the United
Nations University's mandate. The previous four ICTAC events were held in
Guiyang, China (2004), Hanoi, Vietnam (2005), Tunis, Tunisia (2006) and
Macau (2007).
