The 2013 International DSI and Asia Pacific DSI Conference

Message from the Program Chair
Greetings to all:

We would like to take this opportunity and thank you for participating in the IDSI-APDSI conference 2013, Bali, Indonesia.

We are delighted to report that colleagues from thirty five countries and 258 universities and organizations have contributed to the conference in different capacities: track chairs, authors, reviewers, organizers, etc. We have thirty tracks, fifty nine track chairs from fifteen countries and 222 submissions with 496 authors. The papers were blindly reviewed by 125 reviewers. Of the 222 submissions, 169 research papers will be presented from 233 authors. Twenty two papers were nominated for consideration for further review for the "Best Paper" awards in three categories, "Russell Ching's Innovative Education", "Contribution to Theory", and "Application of Theory". Another round of blind reviews resulted in the selection of six papers to be recognized as the top-ranking best papers.

With the diversity of countries, universities, organizations and academic disciplines represented in this conference, we will have a great opportunity to share our knowledge. Thank you for making the conference a success. We hope this conference will encourage you to participate in future IDSI and or APDSI conferences.

I look forward to meeting you and wish you a wonderful time in Bali.

Best, Minoo
