TRACK DESCRIPTION:

IT in Asia
IT has played a major role in the rapid development of the Asian "tiger
economies" and this fact has not been lost on Asia's newly emerging
economies.  Yet while a number of Asian governments are now building
their
national development plans around IT, others have only just obtained a
connection to the internet.  While the region's major industrial and
financial institutions are deploying IT in their bids to brace
themselves
for a global competitive stance in the next millenium, the vast majority
of
Asians have yet to make a phone call, much less use a computer.  The
track
on IT in Asia seeks to showcase IT/IS research and implementations that
address these and other issues relating to the use of IT in Asia.
               

RECOMMENDED TOPICS 
Papers (completed or in-progress: about 20 double spaced pages),
extended
abstracts (completed or in-progress research: about 4-6 pages), panel
and

following topics are invited.  Please note the name of this track on the
