The 5th International Conference on Information Technology and Applications (ICITA 2008) will be held in Cairns, Australia from 23 to 26 June 2008. The conference is an annual event and is recognized as one of the major series of conferences in Information Technology (IT in short). ICITA continues to retain its tradition of high quality conference and will open up an opportunity for academics and industrial professionals worldwide to exchange their knowledge of the state-of-the-art research and development in information technology and applications, and to establish and extend professional networks. This conference addresses the importance that IT professionals stretch across narrowly defined subject areas and constantly acquire a global technical and social perspective. ICITA 2008 has offered such an opportunity to facilitate cross-disciplinary and social gatherings. 

The conference site, Cairns, is the only place in the world with two adjoining world heritage treasures; the Great Barrier Reef and the Australia's Tropical Rainforest. Its International Airport combined with sophisticated infrastructure and friendly services makes Cairns a winning choice for this event. A visit to the Cairns for a meeting is the perfect opportunity for delegates to take in the vast natural beauty and attractions of this world-famous region.  The region has all of the infrastructure needed to ensure delegates can explore in comfort and style and add even more great and unforgettable memories to their conference visit.


Over the past years, ICITA has been proudly sponsored by: IEEE NSW Section, IEEE Computer Society, the Univeristy of Technology Sydney, Australia; Charles Sturt University, Australia; Heilongjinag University, China and Jiao-tong University, China.  For the ICITA 2008, we gladly welcome the Society of Industry Technology and the ACM SIG CHI Singapore to join others to be the sponsors of this event.

Message from Conference Chairman

 

At the beginning of the 21st century, ICITA (the International Conference on Information Technology and Applications) was setup for academics in all information technology (IT) related areas to meet, exchange ideas, and establish professional networks. At the time, it was the first of such a forum for participants to go beyond narrowly defined subject areas to acquire a global technical and social perspective.

 

Over the years, ICITA has been going from strength to strength and it has grown from an IT technical conference into a global gathering of academics from all walks of life. It has provided opportunities for people to meet their peers from over 600 universities, research organisations and IT companies worldwide. On the academic front, papers published under ICITA have been well cited by the scientific communities and mentioned regularly by varies universities, government and industry organisations.

 

ICITA has taken steps to help authors to retain their individual right over their publications. The success of this international event has enabled high quality ICITA papers to be published in international journals. For ICITA 2008, selected papers from the conference proceedings will be published as special issue papers by many international journals, such as “International Journal of Information Technology and Management”, “International Journal of Computer Applications in Technology”, “International Journal of Simulation and Process Modelling” and “International Journal of Healthcare Technology and Management”.

 

To ensure the quality of technical sessions experts in different technical areas have been invited to be members of the International Advisory Committee. Without their contributions, this conference would not be possible.

 

To maintain the quality of ICITA, I welcome your feedback and comments.

 

The conference site, Cairns, is the only place in the world with two adjoining world heritage treasures: the Great Barrier Reef and the Australia's Tropical Rainforest. During the conference breaks, I hope conference delegates take the opportunity to experience and enjoy the vast natural beauty and attractions of this world-famous region.

 

Finally, I would also like to thank all members of the Organising Committee who have worked tirelessly to make this conference a success and would like to wish all of you success in your technical presentations and social networking.

GST Refund

The TRS (Tourist Refund Scheme) enables you to claim a refund, subject to certain conditions, of the goods and services tax (GST) and wine equalisation tax (WET) that you pay on goods you buy in Australia.

 

To claim a refund you must:

 

·         Spend $300 (GST inclusive) or more in the one store and get a single tax invoice

·         Buy goods no more than 30 days before departure

·         Wear or carry the goods on board the aircraft or ship and present them along with your original tax invoice, passport and international boarding pass to a Customs Officer at a TRS facility

·         Claims at airports are available up to 30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure of your flight.

·         Claims at seaports should be made no earlier than 4 hours and no later than 1 hour prior to the scheduled departure time of the vessel.

 

The refund only applies to goods you take with you as hand luggage or wear (unless aviation security measures, effective from 31 March 2007, in regard to liquids, aerosols and gels prevent you from doing so) onto the aircraft or ship when you leave Australia. It does not apply to services or goods consumed or partly consumed in Australia, such as wine, chocolate or perfume. However, unlike other tourist shopping schemes, most of the goods, such as clothing and cameras, can be used in Australia before departure.

Things to see

Following is an outline of the major sights to see during a visit to Cairns:

 

Botanical Gardens - whilst they are only small the Flecker Botanical Gardens are beautiful, very well maintained and interesting. There is a good cafe in the middle of the Gardens and both the Cafe and the Gardens are open every day.

 

The Pier Marketplace is a large speciality retail and entertainment centre on the Cairns waterfront. It boasts a diverse range of shopping, including major international labels, restaurants an international foodcourt, tour booking lounge and much more. It is also the home of the famous weekend Mud Markets. The Pier Marketplace is open every day from 9am to 9pm.

 

Cairns Central is the largest shopping centre in Cairns. Located a few minutes walk from the heart of the CBD it is a popular destination for people looking for a shopping experience. It also has a cinema complex in the centre with plenty of restaurants and larger grocery stores.

 

Undersea World Aquarium is located on the ground floor at the Pier Marketplace. This aquarium features very well presented tanks show casing tropical fish life. The main tank features divers hand feeding sharks and other large reef fish.

 

Cairns Regional Gallery - Located in the Cairns CBD, the Regional Gallery features predominantly local artists work which reflects the variety of cultures found in North Queensland. There are a number of other high quality photographic and art galleries in and around Cairns.

 

Centenary Lakes - located adjacent to the Botanical Gardens the Centenary Lakes are a tranquil parkland area featuring Billabong style lakes covered in water lilies. This is a good location for bird watchers.

 

Freshwater Connection is a charming train station found nestled amongst cane fields in Freshwater. The Kuranda train stops at Freshwater Connection. This is a nice place to stop for afternoon tea.

 

Crystal Cascades are located at the end of the Redlynch Valley. The Cascades are popular with locals as a good place to cool off in the warmer summer months. There is a good walking track alongside the Cascades.

 

The Esplanade - Cairns main parkland and recreation area is a haven for joggers, bike riders, bird watchers, kite flyers and picnics. The Esplanade has recently undergone a major redevelopment that has seen the inclusion of a large swimming lagoon, kids’ playground, family picnic areas and an outdoor auditorium.

The Reef Hotel Casino hosts a good range of restaurants and entertainment. The Casino is popular with both visitors and tourists alike.

 

Royal Flying Doctor Service - located close to the Botanical Gardens, this attraction highlights the world famous Royal Flying Doctor, a service that provides medical attention to isolated outback communities.

 

Rusty's Markets - open every Friday and Saturday in Grafton St, Rustys Markets are an establishment to the people of Cairns. It is a popular place to buy the weekly fruit and vegetables as well as a variety of other produce. There are normally quite a few interesting characters trying to sell anything and everything at the markets.

 

Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park - also located at Smithfield this unique attraction highlights the culture and lifestyle of a local Aboriginal Tribe, the Tjapukai. There is a museum, live theatre (which has some stunning special effects) and an Aboriginal Camp set up to show visitors bush food and medicine, how to light fires, throw boomerangs and spears and play didgeridoos. Once again there is nothing like this park anywhere in Australia.

 

Lake Morris and Copperlode Dam - finding the turn off to Copperlode Dam can be tricky but it is worth making the effort - follow your map to Kamerunga Rd. The actual turn off is well sign posted and leads to a very windy 16km scenic drive (this road is not suitable for buses or caravans). At the top of the Range is Lake Morris and Copperlode Dam. There is a beautiful picnic and BBQ area overlooking the lake and a small kiosk serving a good range of light refreshments. There are also a number of walking tracks in the area. This recreation area closes at 6.00pm. Very few people know about this fabulous spot, making it one of the few places that you can visit without the crowds.

 

Things to Do

The Great Barrier Reef is easily the number one attraction in Cairns. There are a number of excellent operators that specialise in providing both day tours and overnight trips to The Great Barrier Reef, where you can swim, snorkel, dive or simply sit back and relax. There are literally hundreds of day touring options available in Cairns. At times the sheer abundance of promotional material can prove confusing. The range of activities available is really quite amazing and it would not be an understatement to suggest that whatever your interest Cairns can accommodate you. It is a good idea to gather information on your first day, talk to other travellers and then plan your day tours and activities from there. Most hotels have excellent tour desk and booking facilities and there are a number of specialist tour booking companies in Cairns.

 

When booking tours please make sure that you have all inclusions detailed and write down the pick up times and the company that you have booked the tour with. Between 7.30am and 9.00am the foyers of most hotels are packed with tour operators doing their daily pick-ups and it can be quite confusing. Being on time helps to keep the system flowing and the buses moving.

 

Cairns is an excellent place to hire a car and drive yourself. It is a matter of deciding whether you want to sit back and let a local guide show you the sights on tour or if you prefer, to go exploring by yourself. Both options will be very enjoyable and the best compromise is to do a few day tours and perhaps hire a car for a few days as well.

 

Cairns is the home of SCUBA Diving in Australia. There are a number of companies offering dive trips and dive courses. Dive Courses in Cairns are excellent value and the best operators can be found on the Cairns Connect web site.
