| Overview and Aim INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES conference was first organised in 1995 by the biggest technical university in the Baltic states ?Kaunas University of Technology. The annual conference takes place in the Lithuanian city of Kaunas and belongs to a group of events from the conferences cycle �ithuanian Science and Industry? As Lithuania joined European Union becoming a direct contributor to Union� economics, the importance of global issues of industrial and economical competitiveness has reached unprecedented heights. Achievements in technological sciences directly influence the success in this field. Therefore starting with the 14th edition of the conference the aim is to invite scientists and researchers from all over Europe and beyond in order to promote Lithuania� participation in European scientific community while also encouraging practical application of the IT research results in search of a mutual benefit. The main goal of IT 2008 is to stimulate the cooperation and interoperability between European scientists thus helping to find new opportunities within EU organised scientific-applied research programs. The concept of the conference has also undergone serious changes in the face of an extremely rapid progress of communication technologies. As a result, during IT 2008 virtual sessions will be organised alongside traditional ones thus greatly improving the mobility of the participants. Conference Theme This year we particularly welcome submissions that address Application of Information Technologies for Business and Information Systems Intelligence. But we also encourage submissions on any of the topics listed below.

Conference Venue The Conference will be held at Kaunas University of Technology, Kaunas, Lithuania. Kaunas with only 360 thousand inhabitants is nevertheless one of the most significant cities of Lithuania. It is not only a city of old traditions, but also a large centre of business and industry. It can also lay claim to be a town of young people with over 40,000 students studying at one of eleven universities here. Kaunas was always fated to play an important historical and cultural role in Lithuania. In 1408, Magdeburg rights were granted to the city of Kaunas by the privilege of Vytautas the Great. During the early 20th century Kaunas was the home of the Lithuanian Government and the capital of state. However, history tells us that even before this date, the city, situated at the confluence of the rivers Neris and Nemunas, experienced many periods of great prosperity and national importance. It� hard to name the single most famous feature of Kaunas. From the historic 13th century Kaunas Castle to the romantic City Hall Square, from the macabre Devils?Museum to the galleries of art varying from classic to avant-garde ?Kaunas offers something for everybody. The cosy and enigmatic Old Town of Kaunas extends into a vibrant Laisves avenue, where visitors can enjoy the mix of modern and traditional shops, cafes and bars. Also basketball is synonymous with Kaunas not only because we held the very first official basketball game in Lithuania in 1922, but also because of the famous Zalgiris team and its international superstar Arvydas Sabonis. |
