International Journal
INFORMATION THEORIES & APPLICATIONS

XV-th anniversary of IJ ITA !

Verba volant, scripta manent !

The progress in Information and Computer Sciences is fuelled by the results of research work and the accumulation of practical experience. The concept "Information Theories & Applications" (ITA) represents the synthesis of this knowledge. The field of ITA is progressing rapidly and is constantly creating new challenges for professionals involved in it.

It is clear that there is continuing need for  international forums for exchange of knowledge, experience and creative inspiration among ITA professionals in order to share and stimulate solutions.

The "International Journal on Information Theory and Applications"  (IJ ITA) is a successor of the scientific co-operation organised within 1986-1992 by international workgroups (IWG) researching the problems of data bases and artificial intelligence. As a result of tight relation between these problems in 1990 in Budapest appeared the scientific group of Data Base Intellectualisation (IWGDBI) integrating the possibilities of databases with the creative process support tools. Heads of the IWGDBI ware R.Kirkova (Bulgaria) and V.Gladun (Ukraine).

The "International Journal on Information Theory and Applications" (IJ ITA) has been established in 1993 as independent scientific printed and electronic media.

IJ ITA is edited by the Institute of Information Theories and Applications FOI ITHEA in collaboration with the leading researchers from the Institute of Cybernetics “V.M.Glushkov”, NASU (Ukraine) and Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, BAS (Bulgaria).

IJ ITA is official publisher of the scientific papers of the members of the ITHEA International Scientific Society, the Association of Developers and Users of Intellectualized Systems (ADUIS) and the Association for Development of the Information Society (ADIS).

For 15 years IJ ITA became as well-known international journal. Till now, including volume 15, 686 papers have been published.

IJ ITA authors are widespread in 41 countries all over the world: Armenia, Belarus, Brazil, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kirghizia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Mexico, Moldavia, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Scotland, Senegal, Serbia and Montenegro, Spain, Sultanate of Oman, Turkey, UK, Ukraine, and USA.

The great success of IJ ITA belongs to the whole of the ITHEA International Scientific Society.

We express our thanks to all authors, editors and collaborators who had developed and supported the IJ ITA.

General Sponsor of IJ ITA is the Consortium FOI Bulgaria (www.foibg.com).
