This is the third conference of the International Technology Alliance (ITA) program jointly funded by the U.S. Army and U.K. Ministry of Defence. A key objective of the ITA program is to foster trans-national collaborations between alliance member universities, industries and government organizations. The main purpose of this annual conference is to provide a forum for associated researchers to present and share their scientific findings, as a way to further enhance and establish collaborations among alliance members.

The conference features a full program of keynote speeches, technical sessions, panel discussions, poster, workshop and demonstration sessions. To cover the entire scope of the ITA program, the conference addresses technical issues in four areas: Network Theory, Security Across a System of Systems, Sensor Information Processing and Delivery, and Distributed Coalition Planning and Decision Making.

Attendance to the conference is by invitation only. All ITA Alliance members are automatically invited to the conference. Limited number of non-ITA participants will be invited. If you are not an ITA Alliance member and would like to attend, please contact the Conference General Chair to arrange for your attendance.
