ICEIS 2002
4th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems
Call for Papers ( http://www.iceis.org )
April 3-6, 2002 * Ciudad Real, Spain
Organised by the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM), the School of = Computer Science and the Department of Computer Science, in Spain, in = co-operation with the Department of Systems and Informatics of the = School of Technology of the Polytechnic Institute of Set=FAbal = (ESTSet=FAbal) from Portugal.

SCOPE The purpose of the 4th 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 the previous ICEIS editions (ICEIS'99, ICEIS 2000 = and ICEIS 2001) can be found at http://www.iceis.org, = http://www.est.ips.pt/iceis and http://www.staffs.ac.uk/iceis.=20

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS Authors should submit a paper in English of about 10 A4 pages, up to = 5.000 words, using the submission procedure indicated below. The = programme committee will review all papers and the contact 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. The paper must be carefully checked for correct grammar and = spelling.
- Paper submission procedure
1.. A =93blind=94 paper evaluation method will be used. To facilitate = that, the authors are kindly requested to produce and provide two = separate files:=20 a.. A paper=92s front-page, with: the title, author(s), = affiliation(s), contact details, a list of keywords and an abstract.=20 b.. The full paper, WITHOUT any reference to the authors. The = manuscript must contain, in its first page, the paper title, an abstract = and a list of keywords but NO NAMES OR CONTACT DETAILS WHATSOEVER are to = be included in any part of this file.=20 2.. The contact author will then use the ICEIS web-based submission = facility available at the conference web site, to enter the contact = information of all paper authors plus the two files indicated in point = 1, above. The facility will automatically send a submission = acknowledgement, by email, to the author indicated as =93contact = author=94. The camera-ready format will be enforced only for accepted papers, but = authors are encouraged to use it also for paper submissions, in order to = reduce extra work later. Two templates are provided at the conference = web site: one for Latex and another for MS Word.=20
Due to space limitations in the Proceedings, the camera-ready version = will be limited to 8 (eight) pages for full papers, 6 (six) for short = papers (progress reports) and 4 (four) for poster presentations. If = absolutely needed, it will be allowed to increase the total number of = pages, by 4 extra pages. However, for each excess page the author will = have to pay an additional fee.=20
IMPORTANT DEADLINES Full Paper Submission: 15 th October 2001
Workshops and Tutorials Submission: 15th November 2001
Author Notification: 17 th December 2001
Final Camera-Ready Submission and Registration: 14th January 2002=20

VENUE Ciudad Real is in Castilla-La Mancha, the Don Quixote=92s land. It is = not easy to categorize Castilla-La Mancha, for it is a region of great = variety and complexity. On the one hand, there is the ruddy red earth, = the windmills, and simple whitewashed villages of the province of Ciudad = Real (which encompasses most of the area commonly called La Mancha). But = there are also the strangely sculpted cliffs of Cuenca and Albacete, the = hilly woodlands of Guadalajara and the dark mystery and ancient cultures = of Toledo. Ciudad Real is one hour by car from Toledo, fifty minutes by = train from Madrid, seventy minutes by train from C=F3rdoba and two hours = by train from Sevilla.
