Call for Papers
The 3rd APIRA International Conference
"Internet Statistics: Utilization and Creativity"
August 9~10, 2006
Taipei
Purpose
Nowadays we more or less have experiences of reading surveys
or statistics information provided by media, private sectors
or well-known organizations, about the Internet penetration
rate, mobile phone usage, user behaviors and so on. Instead
of regular numbers, to some people, those figures are the results
of government's policies, business opportunities, indications
of future development, or reflections of people living quality.
In addition, as the rapid development of the global Internet
and technologies, some questions have emerged: How can we take
advantage of those new technologies to conduct surveys? What
are the better ideas to collect raw data? What are the deeper
meanings of these figures? How to use provided information to
benefit the society and people?
Therefore, Asia-Pacific Internet Research Alliance (APIRA)
has made the following conference theme: Internet Statistics:
Utilization and Creativity, in hope to invite scholars, specialists,
opinion leaders or anyone who is interested, and to collect
correlative papers for discussion and sharing on August 9~10
2006 in Taipei.
