The International Conference on Information Science, Technology and Applications (ISTA 2009) will be held in Kuwait from March 20 to 22, 2009. The conference aims to provide an opportunity for professionals in industry and academia world-wide to exchange state-of-the-art knowledge, research, and developments in Information Science and Technology in a variety of real life applications. The conference will draw on the experience of its multifaceted activities (Keynote speeches, tutorials, regular paper sessions, and poster sessions) to provide its attendees with global technical perspectives. The conference will also offer an opportunity for facilitating inter-disciplinary and social gatherings.
