 Following requests from some authors to extend the deadlines for  
submissions of papers to PACT 2013 due to the Easter holidays, we have

conference 17 papers were further reviewed and scheduled for  
publications as follows:
a)      6 papers extended, reviewed, accepted and published in the Journal  
of Green Engineering, April 2013, Issue 3 (ISSN 1904-4720);
b)      5 papers extended, reviewed and accepted will appear in Issue 2 of  
2013 in the International Journal of Electronics and

Pan African Conference on Science, Computing and Telecommunications
PACT 2013, Lusaka, Zambia
http://www.ib2com.org/PACT/
July 15  18, 2013
Co-Hosted by La Trobe University Australia and University of Zambia
Technically Sponsored by IEEE Region 8
PACT
The objective of PACT is to support and stimulate active productive  
research which could strengthen the technical foundations of engineers  
and scientists in the continent, develop strong technical foundations  
and skills and lead to new small to medium enterprises within the  
African sub-continent. We also seek to encourage the emergence of  
functionally skilled technocrats within the continent.
We invite research papers, workshop proposals, and panel proposals on  
the following topics listed here. The list is not exhaustive.  
Tutorials and Sessions which will impact on and enhance post graduate  
research within the continent will be considered. Training Workshops  
on research software tools such as Matlab, Scilab, Genesys, Comsol  
Multiphysics and others are welcome.  

Zambia!!!
Zambia is one of the most peaceful, hospitable and lively countries in  
the African continent. You will have the chance to visit its tourist  
attractions including game reserves, breath taking Victoria Falls, the  
river Zambezi and Lake Tanganyika. Track the footsteps of early  
European explorers to this picturesque country  
(http://www.zambiatourism.com/ ). If you are into outdoor living, then  
Zambia is a bliss and affords you opportunities for kayaking, boating,  
bungie jumping, white water rafting, abseiling, lion walks, elephant  
back trains and driving around the beautiful lush natural settings.
Above all, enjoy the glamour of African hospitality, culture and the  
gentle nature of the Zambian people. If you are into football  
(soccer), Zambia is the ex-African football champion before being  
displaced by Nigeria in 2013. Be in Zambia to network and participate  
in the renaissance of African economic and technical growth.
