------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS --------------------------
ICEIS-2001
3rd International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems
Setubal, PORTUGAL
July 7-10, 2001
(http://www.iceis.org and http://www.est.ips.pt/iceis)
Organised by the School of Technology of Setubal, Portugal. With the
collaboration of AAAI and IEEE (ComSoc and EnNet TC).
SCOPE
The purpose of this 3rd International Conference on Enterprise Information
Systems (ICEIS) is to bring together researchers, engineers and
practitioners interested in the advances and business applications of
information systems. Four simultaneous tracks will be held, covering
different aspects of Enterprise Information Systems Applications, including
Enterprise Database Technology, Systems Integration, Artificial
Intelligence, Decision Support Systems, Information Systems Analysis and
Specification, Internet Computing and Electronic Commerce.
ICEIS focuses on real world applications; therefore authors should
highlight the benefits of Information Technology for industry and services.
Ideas on how to solve business problems, using IT, will arise from the
conference. Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, tools and
techniques and general survey papers indicating future directions are also
encouraged. Papers describing original work are invited in any of the areas
listed below. Accepted papers, presented at the conference by one of the
authors, will be published in the Proceedings of ICEIS. Acceptance will be
based on quality, relevance and originality. Both full research reports and
work-in-progress reports are welcome. There will be both oral and poster
sessions.
Special sessions, dedicated to case-studies and commercial presentations,
as well as tutorials dedicated to technical/scientific topics are also
envisaged: companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies
or researchers interested in holding a tutorial are invited to contact the
conference secretariat.
Information concerning previous ICEIS editions (ICEIS'99 and ICEIS 2000)
can be found at http://www.iceis.org and http://www.soc.staffs.ac.uk/iceis/

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
Authors should submit a paper in English of about 10 pages, up to 5.000
words, using the submission procedure indicated below. The programme
committee will review all papers and the first author of each paper will be
notified of the result, by email. Each paper should clearly indicate the
nature of its technical/scientific contribution, and the problems, domains
or environments to which it is applicable. Authors must also indicate the
conference track to which the paper is submitted.
Submitted papers should be formatted for A4 size paper, and must be written
in English, and carefully checked for correct grammar and spelling. No
restrictions are placed on the font size and style of the submitted papers.
- Submission procedure
A "blind" paper evaluation method will be used. To facilitate that, the
authors are kindly requested to follow the indications below:
* A paper's front-page must be provided, with: the title, author(s),
affiliation(s), contact details, a list of keywords and an abstract. This
page is to be provided as a separate file.
* The full paper is to be provided as a separate file and MUST NOT have any
reference to the authors. The manuscript must necessarily contain a title,
an abstract and a list of keywords but NO NAMES OR CONTACT DETAILS
WHATSOEVER are to be included.
Postscript versions of the front-page and of the manuscript should be sent
electronically, not compressed and not codified, to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Final camera-ready format will be required only for accepted papers, and
