SAICSIT-2001, to be held in the Pretoria area, will be even better. The conference venue will be the ABSA conference Centre in Montana, Pretoria. The conference will include research papers, tutorials, workshops and panel discussions. Papers are solicited in ALL areas of Computer Science and Information Systems, but should be directed at a reasonably general audience. For examples, see papers accepted for SAICSIT'00 (see link on the SAICSIT-2001 web site). We invite submissions in the following categories: 1) Research Papers in one of the following categories: - full research papers - short papers - electronically published papers. A selection of the best full research papers and short papers will be published in the South African Computing Journal. 2) Tutorials 3) Workshops 4) Panel discussions 5) Postgraduate Research Symposium.

PAPERS ====== Short papers and Electronic papers are intended to allow space for preliminary work, or useful experiences, which are of sufficient interest to publish, but which would not meet the criteria for review of a research paper. Full research papers are limited to 10 pages in final typeset form, while short papers are limited to 5 pages (10 point Times New Roman, 2 columns: (For guidelines see: http://www.cs.up.ac.za/sacj/)). Length is not an issue for electronically published papers. TUTORIALS ========= SAICSIT 2001 plans to host a tutorial programme. Proposals for high-quality tutorials in all areas of computer science and information systems from academic research to industrial applications are solicited. Tutorial levels may be introductory, intermediate, and advanced. Novel topics and topics of broad interest are preferred. Guidelines for the submission of tutorial proposals are available on the conference website. WORKSHOPS ========= SAICSIT 2001 will host a number of workshops addressing different areas of computer science. Workshops serve as a forum for exchanging late breaking ideas and theories in an evolutionary stage. They typically focus on either in depth analysis or broad-ranging approaches to any area of computer science. Guidelines for the submission of workshop proposals are available on the conference website. PANELS ====== Panel sessions addressing important and timely topics in computer science will be included in the main conference. They should present interesting and divergent views with solid practical and/or theoretical backing. A good panel session can be the highlight of the official programme for many attendees. Guidelines for panel proposals are available on the conference website. Postgraduate Research Symposium =============================== The main purpose of this symposium is to provide a forum for student researchers who are investigating any computer science or information systems area. We would like to invite any student researcher to submit their work to this symposium. The emphasis of this workshop will be work in progress. Original and unpublished research can be presented here to a group of fellow students in order to obtain helpful feedback and valuable experience. Enquiries about the conference in general should be directed to saicsit@osprey.unisa.ac.za Enquiries about submissions of research papers, panels, workshops and tutorials should be directed to renaukv@osprey.unisa.ac.za
