CALL FOR PAPERS

The Fourth IASTED African Conference on

Modelling and Simulation

~AfricaMS 2012~

September 5 ? 7, 2012

Gaborone, Botswana

LOCATION

Located in Southern Africa, Botswana is a country famous for the Kalahari Desert, friendly people, and beautiful landscapes. The economy of Botswana is largely based in diamonds and beef exports; however, the country has currently one of the fastest growing economies in the world, and there is much effort to diversify the economy by moving into different sectors such as Information and Technology. Tourism is also a very important industry in Botswana. Every year people come to enjoy Botswana’s diverse wildlife and vegetation. Come and enjoy one of Botswana’s famous safaris to experience the true African wilderness at Chobe National Park. Regardless of your past travel experiences Botswana is sure to have something new and exciting to offer!
