"For ICAIT 2010 the conference venue is Hainan, the second largest ocean island and smallest land province in China, which is located at the south end of the country.

Information and Communication Technology touches virtually all aspects of our daily lives. It interweaves tightly into our private and public communications, interactions and transactions; inadvertently forms an intricate infrastructure for critical social and institutional functions such as commerce, banking and finance, utilities, national defense, education, entertainment and many more useful applications. ICAIT is a three (3) day event comprising of keynote speeches by both leading
researchers and industrial experts, focused symposiums, technical oral presentations and updates by industrial presenters. This event provides a platform to introduce advanced infocomm technologies that would shape the next generation of information and communication systems & technology platforms.
The conference hopes to be able to achieve the following goals:
1. Forge links between nations and build bridges between the academic and non-academic
community; and between government and non-governmental organizations.
2. Facilitates discussion, encourage the formulation and adoption of standards and "open" interfaces
to enable rapid development, testing and deployment of infocomm solutions.
3. Encourages exchange and sharing"
