Call for Papers

The Fourth International Conference on Networked Digital Technologies (NDT
2012)
April 24-26, 2012
Canadian University of Dubai, Dubai
Proceedings will be published by Springer CCIS series (approval pending)
(http://www.ndtconf.org)

The proposed conference on the above theme will be held at the Canadian
University of Dubai, UAE from April 24-26, 2012 which aims to enable
researchers build connections between different digital applications.

Currently, a number of institutions across the countries are working to
evolve better models to provide collaborative technology services for
scholarship by creating shared cyberspace thro expert collaboration, but
this is a challenge for the institutions for a number of reasons. In the
last few years, the landscape of digital technology applications projects
for the various disciplines in humanities, social sciences, and sciences
appears induced by many initiatives. For the creation of research clusters,
the research community has thousands of databases, websites, local computing
clusters, and web-based tools around individual themes, interests and
projects. In most cases, these tools and resources are and were created to
meet the specific needs of a particular community. In many cases, the
funding and support for these critical initiatives is fragile and temporary,
and directed in piecemeal fashion. There is a need to provide concerted
efforts in building federated digital technologies that will enable the
formation of network of digital technologies.
