------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ICCI2000 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 five 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. Theory of Data and Logic. Information and Coding Theory. 
     Algorithms. Theory of Computation. 
     Chair: Monty Newborn, newborn@opus.cs.mcgill.ca

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

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

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

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

Papers for any of the above streams are welcome. All submissions should be 
limited to a maximum of 5,000 words (approximately 15 A4 pages), and will 
be reviewed on the basis of technical correctness, quality, relevance, 
originality, significance, and clarity. Accepted papers will be published in 
the conference proceedings by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer 
Science series. Furthermore, a selected number of the accepted papers will be 
expanded and revised for possible inclusion in the following journals: 

     * Journal of Computing and Information 

     * Knowledge and Information Systems: An International Journal 

All paper submissions (by e-mail or in hardcopy) should be sent to the Program 
Committee Chair at the following address.
