1.  Call For Participation and Submission Of Technical and Scientific
    Papers and Articles


NOOR is a monthly technical publication designed to promote and assist
in the transfer of technical knowledge and scientific information to
Iranian Universities. NOOR was founded a year ago by Dr. Nasser Modiri
for the sole purpose of communication of the latest trends and issues
in technology and science to the Iranian technical and scientific
community. NOOR in no way is associated with any religious, political
or profit-seeking venture nor does it endorse any such activities.

Seven universities are regular recipients of NOOR at this time:

        o University of Bu-Ali Sina
        o University of Science and Technology

Contibutors to NOOR present a wide variety of background. The
following are some of the areas where our writers and contributing
editors have presented their knowledge and expertise:

        o Computer Communications- e.g. ISO, OSI/NM, FORUM, PSTN, PTT
        o Computer Graphics - e.g. MOTIF, Window based applications
        o Computer Languages - e.g. FORTRAN, Pascal, C, C++, D++
        o Architectures and Compilers for High Performance Systems
