================================================================================================

The 2nd International Conference on Information Technology Convergence and Services (ITCS 2010) will be held in Cebu, Philippines on August 11-13, 2010.

The ITCS 2010 will be the most comprehensive conference focused on the various aspects of advances in information technology convergence, applications, and services. The ITCS 2010 will provide an opportunity for academic and industry professionals to discuss the latest issues and progress in the area of ITCS.

In addition, the conference will publish high quality papers which are closely related to the various theories, modeling, and practical applications in ITCS. Furthermore, we expect that the conference and its publications will be a trigger for further related research and technology improvements in this important subject.

The ITCS 2010 is the next event in a series of highly successful international symposium on IT and its Applications (ITA-09), previously held in Jeju, Korea on December 10 - 12, 2009.
