About ISIICT 2009
Welcome to the third International Symposium on Innovation in Information and Communication Technology, and welcome to Amman. The scope of this symposium is fairly wide, since it is intended to serve as a forum for discussing the wide range of issues that are raised by today’s Information and Communication Technology, as well as their evolution and their paradigm shifts. Our hope is that the width of the scope will enhance the symposium by increasing the potential for cross-fertilization. The program for this symposium is divided into seven areas of interest, which are: Data Mining & Web Information Retrieval, Software Engineering, Performance Evaluation, Computer Security, Information Systems & ERP, E-Applications, and Diagnosis and Image Processing Applications. The program includes a total of 19 accepted papers from 65 submitted. Papers were evaluated by 2 to 3 reviewers. A paper is accepted if the number of its acceptances is greater than or equal two. It is worth mentioning that the present Program Committee members were keen to encourage authors submitting to this third edition of ISIICT.
The track of Data Mining & Web Information Retrieval includes three papers that are divided in the following topics of interest: learning from web, Textual Data, and Web Usage Mining.The track of Software Engineering includes four papers that are divided in the following topics of interest: Dynamic and Structural Pattern, Software Evolution, Real-Time Embedded Systems, and Web Service Applications . The track of Performance Evaluation includes two papers that are divided in the following topics of interest: Performance of Routers and Performance of Generic deployment platform. The track of Computer Security includes two papers that are divided in the following topics of interest: Cryptographic Protocols and Wired and Wireless Networks. The track of Information Systems & ERP includes two papers that are divided in the following topics of interest: Validation of the IS-Impact Model and Critical Success Factors of ERP. The track of E- Applications includes three papers that are divided in the following topics of interest: E-Business Value, G2C Acceptance,and Wireless Networks. The track of Diagnosis and Image Processing Applications includes three papers that are divided in the following topics of interest:Distributed Systems Diagnosis, Turbine Aided Diagnostic, and Image Segmentation.
In addition to these peer-reviewed papers two Invited keynote speakers are presented at this Symposium: Prof Fairouz Kamareddine will speak about The Computerization of Information: The Challenges and the Pitfalls; and Prof. Odej Kao will speak about Resource Management and Trust in On-Demand Computing. Papers presented in this proceeding are published under the responsibility of their authors.
We are gratified by the international diversity of the Symposium; authors in this symposium hail from no less than seven countries, including Algeria, Australia, France, Jordan, Malaysia, Tunisia, and The United Kingdom.
We are very graceful to the program committee members and reviewers for their help in assessing and selecting papers among those that are submitted. Also we gracefully acknowledge the support of the organizing committee who, in addition to their organizing responsibilities has offered us a great deal of technical support to manage the flow of papers and reviews. The Technical Support of IEEE, the Technical and Financial Support of The British Computer Society and the Financial Support of The higher Council for Science and Technology were very appreciated and deterministic on the success of this symposium.
We hope you enjoy attending this symposium, and you find its proceedings and EWIC editions to be useful resource for your future research work. Also we look forward to your participation in future sessions of this symposium.
