Period 1991 - now

  • This period started with many changes:

  • As a consequence, in 1991 the Yugoslav army started a war against Croatia and occupied a part of Croatia, including Cavtat. To keep the Conference going on it was decided to move the Conference site from Cavtat to Pula starting with year 1992.
  • In 1991 the Conference also changed its name to Information Technology Interfaces ITI .
  • In 1991, the International Association IMACS accepted sponsorship of the Conference, in addition to the auspices of HAZU-Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, and MZTI-Ministry of Science, Technology and Informatics.
  • In 1991 English was declared as the only official Conference language in order to make the reviewing process completely international.
  • In 1991 SRCE-University Computing Centre gained access to EARN/BITNET as well as other networks, and started using them for communication with participants and referees. For the first time an electronic version of the ITI '91 Call for Papers was distributed worldwide.
  • Since 1992 the Conference Proceedings is abstracted in INSPEC database. Other databases and library services followed.
