Call for Papers

The 1st International Conference on
“Information Statistics of the Internet:
Measurement, Analysis and Applications”

August 19~20, 2004
Hong Kong and Macau

Purpose
The Internet has evolved so rapidly and has brought so many changes to the world we live. The use of the Internet has entered the maturity stage in some places while it only starts to take off in others. Researchers and professionals have tried to explain such phenomena with various theories, hypotheses and methods. On the one hand, we have known much of it from the current data; on the other hand, we unfortunately have not yet explored deeply into the story behind how we get this data. For this reason, the newly formed Asia-Pacific Internet Research Alliance (APIRA) is organizing its first international conference on the measurement, analysis and applications of the Internet usage in August 2004 in Hong Kong and Macau.

Themes
APIRA seeks papers on the following main themes:

• Measurement of the Internet users and usage behavior
• Analysis techniques for Internet use data
• Applications of Internet use research in commercial and non-commercial settings
  

In addition to these above topics,each member organization of APIRA will give a country/regional report on the latest diffusion and use of the Internet in respective country/region in the conference.

Language
The official language of the conference will be English.
