NACCQ/CITRENZ 2010

Computing and Information Technology Research and Education New Zealand

The CITRENZ Annual Conference is an international conference, sponsored by the National Advisory Committee on Computing Qualifications (NACCQ). This annual conference serves as a forum for the discussion and exchange of information on research, teaching and practice on all topics related to Computing and Information Technology research, education and practice.

CITRENZ 2010 is the premiere computing education conference in New Zealand and spans all disciplines of computing and information technology education. While focusing on tertiary education it also provides links from secondary education and also into the computing industry. The conference regularly attracts more than 200 attendees from over New Zealand as well as international delegates.
This conference is open to all educators and researchers in the computing and information technology and computing and information science communities. While the conference has traditionally supported those educators, researchers and practitioners in the computing education community of the New Zealand tertiary sector it has progressively expanded to include contributions from participants outside the sector at regional, national and international levels and the conference desires to extend this involvement.
We invite you to attend the CITRENZ Conference 2010 and submit papers for presentation and publication.

Call for Papers

As this international conference is broad in scope we now invite submission for education, research and practice papers in all the sub disciplines in the computing field:
•    Information Systems
•    Information Technology
•    Software Engineering
•    Computer Science
•    Computer Engineering

We are again accepting paper proposals for review.  Authors of successful proposals will then be invited to submit a complete paper for quality assurance. (you can skip this stage by submitting a completed paper by the 15th March).

All papers are double blind refereed by at least three reviewers on the review panel and selected for inclusion by a respected editorial board based on the reviewers recommendations, for inclusion in the refereed conference proceedings.
Proposals are to be submitted to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Topics

The scope of the conference has four major strands which relate to the IT industry, computing and information technology education, research and practice in any of the sub disciplines of computing, (Information Systems, Information Technology, Software Engineering, Computer Science and Computer Engineering).

The first day of the conference will have a special focus on relationships between secondary and tertiary computing education – more to come!

Proposal structure:

Title:  Descriptive title (max ten words)
Authors and institutions: (will be removed for blind refereeing)
Email: for corresponding author
Purpose: What does this paper seek to achieve?
eg The purpose of this paper is to explore the understandings of third normal form of computing students, and the effect of a series of experiential workshops on that.  It seeks to…
Design/methodology/approach: A brief overview of the approach described in the paper.
eg: Understandings of computing students are explored with a cognitive mapping exercise.  A total of 62 students undertook a test before and after a series of experiential workshops.  The cognitive maps were analysed to reveal commonalities and differences.
Findings: Briefly outline the findings of the paper.  Please put actual key findings rather than ‘the paper will show cool important results’.  If analysis is not completed, indicate here and in “Current state” below.
eg This study identified the range of understandings of normal form expressed by computing students.  The students demonstrated understanding in three main domains: precursor, representation and modeling.  Within each of these ….
Originality/value: What body of knowledge does this add to?  What are the research, practical and/or theoretical implications?
eg This paper contributes to the field of database representation. It builds on the work of Smith and Jones (2008), applying their model to a larger class.  It shows that…
