Information technology (IT) has become an integral part of everyday life. From commerce and government to scientific discovery, healthcare, education, entertainment and environmental management, IT is indispensable and will continue to fuel further advances in all facets of human endeavors. At the same time, IT provides a powerful foundation for tackling many of the problems that we face in the 21st century. These include data modeling and prediction to help manage rapidly graying populations, analysis of satellite imagery to manage deforestation or resource exploration, etc. We have witnessed rapid advances in IT in recent years, and further advances in IT will help solve (or mitigate) many of the problems we face in the future.

The JAIT is centered around the idea of new and emerging IT advancements geared towards finding solutions in tackling the problems and challenges that we face in the 21st century. This necessitates a forward-looking and multidisciplinary/convergent approach and aims at harnessing advances in computing and IT both to improve our everyday life in a multitude of ways and to meet the challenges of tomorrow. The published articles would immediately demonstrate ‘useful’ research.
 
JAIT is intended to reflect new directions of research and report latest advances. It is a platform for rapid dissemination of high quality research / application / work-in-progress articles on IT solutions for managing challenges and problems within the highlighted scope.
