Due to unknown reasons, the ITNG website is not accessible from China. With the help of Dr. Ling Wang (HIT, China), we have set up a mirror website for the ITNG to allow access to the ITNG conference from within China. The URL is: http://centrino.hit.edu.cn:8081/itng/ The General CFP given below in ASCII is revised to include the above URL. Please make sure to include this alternative URL in your international mailings. Thank you.
