Dear Prof. Taylor,

I am interested in the captioned conference and book chapters.  Amy Ponyton,
a specialist in cyber-learning for IBM Learning Services-Asia Pacific based
in Australia, and I would like to co-author a paper for the book,
preliminary titled "ICT for Regional Education and Training: Building &
Sustaining Leadership and Partnership."  Since Amy is on leave now, could
you allow us to submit the abstract next week?

Thank you very much for your kind consideration and looking forward to
meeting you in Queensland in August!

With best regards,
Philip

> Authors for book chapters required
> 
> We have just signed a contract with an international publisher to edit a
book on "Using Community Informatics to
> Transform Regions". We will be selecting the best papers from the ITiRA
2002 Conference at CQU Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia, 27 - 29 August
2002 to form the basis of this book. If you are interested in contributing a
chapter to this book, please submit an abstract of your paper to ITiRA2002

> 
> The overall purpose of the Conference is to examine strategies, research
and applications for the introduction and use of Information Technology in
Regional Areas.  Current experience indicates that regional areas are
lagging behind cities in the adoption of IT and that there are specific
issues
> relating to the use of IT in regions.
> 
> ITiRA will include a mixture of refereed papers as well as non-refereed
case studies and applications. Whilst seeking papers and case studies in the
broad arena of IT in regions, ITiRA currently has eight major track themes: 
> 1 - Community Informatics; 
> 2 - IT for Regional Health; 
> 3 - IT for Regional Media and Communication; 
> 4 - IT for Regional Industry and e-Economy; 
> 5 - IT for Regional Education and Training; 
> 6 - IT for Developing Countries and Indigenous Peoples; 
> 7 - IT For Regional Culture and Media;
> 8 - e-Democracy.
> 
> Each track will consist of a keynote address, refereed papers, case
studies and reports of applications. The conference is designed for
Community Leaders, IT Managers & Project Leaders, Funders, Policymakers,
Researchers, Government Officials and Regional Community Development Groups.
> 
> Papers can be submitted to either the refereed Research Papers Section or
the Case Study and Applications Section. Research Papers can be no longer
than 5000 words. Case studies and Reports of Applications can be
considerably shorter. 
> 
> Timetable:
> Expressions of interest 	- March 8, 2002
> Invited to submit paper  	- March 22, 2002
> Papers due  			- May 10, 2002
