Scope
*****
Information systems technology continues to evolve very rapidly in
the context of the transformation of traditional businesses into the network 
economy. We are witnessing a tremendous growth in the number, types, and 
novelty of Information Systems, as well as an increased level of 
sophistication and architectural diversity.

ISTA'2003 is intended to continue the successful event of ISTA'2001 
and will concentrate on the latest inventions, achievements, and experiences 
in information system based business technologies, above all concepts, 
techniques and applications of electronic and mobile business. In addition, 
the conference topics include modern web based information technologies used 
in High Tech domains such as telecommunication, power engineering, transport, 
machine-building and other engineering industry branches. The goal of the 
conference is to bring together practitioners, researchers, users and 
information providers involved in the development and deployment of commercial 
and industrial information systems to exchange ideas, present their recent 
research and discuss possible collaborations. Distinguished keynote speakers 
from academia and industry will address the main issues of the conference.

We invite submissions of various types on the aforementioned aspects 
of information systems technology: technical papers, case study reports on 
commercial or experimental applications, and education papers; tutorial and 
panel proposals; doctoral symposium applications; formal research 
demonstrations; posters and informal research demonstrations. 


Contributions should focus on the following and related topics:

* Advances in information systems modeling and design methodologies

Conference location:
*****************
Originally founded in 1656 as a fortress protecting Moscow from the 
Tatars, the city of Kharkiv grew as a trade and cultural center, and in 1765 
it became the administrative center of Ukraine. With the development of the 
vast mineral wealth of the region in the late 19th century, Kharkiv developed 
into an industrial and rail transportation center. Today, Kharkiv's industrial 
base includes major industries such as farm and mining machinery, electric and 
railroad equipment, chemicals, machine tools, and processed food. It is a main 
rail junction and has an airport with international connections via Vienna. 
Kharkiv is the second largest Ukrainian city with a population of 
about 1.650.000. It is the home of 23 institutions of higher education with an 
enrollment of over 100,000 students.
In the cultural area it includes numerous theaters, museums, churches 
and cathedrals, parks and gardens. In 1781, Kharkiv adopted its current city 
seal. Its horn of plenty symbolizes the richness and wealth of the Kharkiv 
province and the fruitfulness of its land.


Visits and social events (program):
*****************************
Sightseeing visits will be arranged for the delegates and guests. A separate 
program will be arranged for companions during the conference.
