| Welcome |
| On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to Taipei and the 2009 International Workshop on Computing: from Theory to Practice, held from June 16 - 17, 2009 in Taipei. Thank you all for participating the workshop and especially the speakers of the technical program from all over the world. | |
| This two-day event will consist of three consecutive sessions in the theory and development, contributions to digital archives, and applications to information security. Theory session will be held on June 16 . Digital Archives and Information Security sessions will be held on June 17 followed by a welcome banquet. We are honored to have three distinguished keynote speeches by Professor Franco P. Preparata of Brown University, USA; Professor Thomas Ottmann of University of Freiburg, Germany; Professor Hiroshi Imai of University of Tokyo, Japan, to share their views and experiences in algorithms research ranging from the theory to practical applications. | |
| Our program aims not only to engage prominent scholars to cover theories, applications, contributions, and publications of latest research results, especially of those projects funded by National Science Council of Taiwan during the recent years, including “Taiwan Digital Archives Program” and iCAST project (International Collaboration for Advancing Security Technology), but also to encourage the next generation of scholars and students, locally and internationally, to share and discuss new results in research, to promote and exchange of idea and cooperation, and to probe into the opportunities for the field of information science in the future through participation. | |
| The workshop could not be a success without help from so many people. As the general chairs of the workshop, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to Organization Committee, Academia Sinica, and National Science Council of Taiwan. Finally, our thanks go to all the speakers, participants for contributing to the 2009 International Workshop on Computing: from Theory to Practice: you are the heart of the workshop. | |
| Enjoy your stay in Taipei and wish you all a successful professional experience at this event. We look forward to meeting you on June 16-17, 2009 in Taipei. | |
