Introduction

Information Technology (IT) plays a vital role in today’s global economy. Aside from its phenomenal impact on the financial and industrial sectors in the past decade. Information Technology changes the landscape of education, telecommunications, engineering, medical services and management. The convergence of video, voice and data into triple play service raises the quality of service. The emerging services combining applications and media requires a seamless integration into the existing and new IP-based static and mobile infrastructure.

Research in advanced telecommunications, networking and computing calls for innovative data representation tools, high-speed simulation platforms, and analytical instrumentation with which to explore and enhance both experimental and existing methodologies. Education is changing with the advent of new interactive on-line learning technologies, multimedia electronic libraries and collaborative workspaces, improving knowledge-sharing and educational practices.

The mission of ITRE2006 is to provide a forum for IT professionals, theoretical researchers, and practical educators in which to share insights and experiences of the current state-of-the-art information technologies, pedagogy and academic-industry collaborations, and to contribute to a vision of the future of IT that will shape the emerging high-tech workforce.

We invite you to join us to the 4 th international conference dedicated to Information Technology with a specific focus on Research and Education.

Looking forward to welcoming you at the conference
