The International Arab Conference on Information Technology (ACIT'2010) is a forum for scientists, engineers, and

practitioners to present their latest research, results, ideas, developments, and applications in all areas of information

technology. ACIT’2010 will include presentations to contributed papers and state-of-the-art lectures by invited keynote

speakers. Tutorials on current issues and special sessions on new trends related to information technology and software

industry could be organized. This conference is considered the official scientific conference for the Colleges of

Computing and Information Society, stemming from the Association of Arab Universities. The permanent General

Secretariat of ACIT is hosted by Zarqa Private University, Jordan.

ACIT'2010 will be organized by University of Garyounis, Benghazi, Libya. ACIT will be held in Benghazi, Libya, the

respectively. Libya has an area of approximately 1,775,500 square kilometers, three times the area of France, a population

of about 5.4 millions, and the capital city is Tripoli (Tarabulus). The coastal regions have a Mediterranean climate with

moderate temperatures and enough rain during the winter months for grain farming.

Researchers should submit a full paper describing their work, maximum of 8 single-spaced double column pages that also

include illustrations. The first page should include the paper title, a brief abstract, a set of keywords, and text. Be sure not

to include the authors' names in your paper. The abstract should be concise and not longer than 250 words. Immediately

following the abstract, no more than six keywords are to be supplied for subject indexing. Keywords should not simply be

taken from the title of the paper, but should be representative of the content of the whole paper and characteristic of the

terminology used within the particular field of study. The introduction of the paper must be clearly written and should

explain the nature of the problem, previous work, purpose and the contribution of the paper. The introduction is assigned

number “1”, and following sections are assigned numbers as needed. A conclusion section must be included and should

indicate clearly the advantages, limitations, possible applications, and future work. The references section is not assigned a

number. References should be numbered in alphabetical order by the first author’s last name. Citations in the text should

be by number and enclosed in square brackets, e.g. [1].

Electronic submission of papers as Microsoft’s Word document or PDF via ACIT OpenConf is a must. ACIT OpenConf is

a conference management system that automates the paper submission and the whole reviewing process. It can be

accessed via ACIT web site at www.acit2k.org. Any question regarding submission or the reviewing process should be

directed to . A final preparation format is available in the conference web site. Before final acceptance, all

referees comments must be considered and the paper must be formatted according to ACIT camera-ready instructions that

are provided in the conference web site. Accepted papers for authors who complete registration will be published in the

conference proceedings. The authors of best papers will be invited to submit an extended version for publication in an

appropriate international journal.

The evaluation of submitted papers is based on the

importance and usefulness of the research topic.

Technical merits, novelty of the approach, soundness of

results, and clarity of presentation are also considered as

factors of the evaluation process. Each article will be

fully refereed by a minimum of two specialized referees.
