       2006 ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC 2007)
             Seoul, Korea, March 11-15, 2007
_______________________________________________________________________

Over the past twenty years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing
(SAC) has become a primary forum for applied computer scientists and
application developers from around the world to interact and present
their work. SAC 2007 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on
Applied Computing (SIGAPP): its proceedings are published by ACM in
both printed form and CD-ROM; they are also available on the web
through ACM's Digital Library. Visit the SAC 2007 home page for
further information: http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2007/

SPECIAL TRACK ON INFORMATION ACCESS AND RETRIEVAL (SAC-IAR)

Nowadays, one of the most important and challenging problems in
computer science is the definition of effective technologies, which
support access to information. With the expansion of the Internet
effective tools for finding relevant information are urgently
needed. This special track will be concerned with theory and, in
particular, applications of novel approaches to information access and
retrieval. The track has been successfully running within SAC since
2002.

About the Conference
--------------------
Digital archives/libraries are widely recognized as a crucial component of
a global information infrastructure for the new century. Research and
development projects in many parts of the world are concerned about using
advanced information technologies for managing and manipulating digitized
cultural heritage and valuable documents, ranging from data storage,
preservation, indexing, searching, presentation, and dissemination
capabilities to organizing and sharing of such valuable content over
networks. ICDAT 2006 is the fourth in a series of International Conferences
on Digital Archive Technologies sponsored by the National Digital Archives
Program, Taiwan. The goal of this conference is to provide unique
opportunities for participants to share their research results and best
practices in the utilization of advanced technologies for and the 
approaches
to the development of digital archives/libraries/museums.
