ICEIS-2001 3rd International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems Setubal, PORTUGAL July 7-10, 2001 =20 http://www.iceis.org
Organised by the School of Technology of Setubal, Portugal.=20 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/=20
