Greenwich is a : nice city close to London. Both are not the only reasons you may consider : submitting a paper and/or attending the conference. : : I would like to thank you for your cooperation and the support of the : conference. : In order to make the conference a success please distribute the CfP to people : who could be interested in submitting to the conference. : : Best regards : Guenther Pernul. : -------------------- : Dep. of Information Systems, University of Essen : Universitaetsstrasse 9, D-45141 Essen, Germany : Tel: + (49) - 201 -18340-42, Fax: + (49) - 201 -18340-11 : Email: pernul(a)wi-inf.uni-essen.de : : ----------------------------------------------------------------------- : : First International Conference on Electronic Commerce and Web Technologies : EC-Web 2000 : September 4-6, 2000 : Greenwich, U.K. : http://www.dexa.org/ecweb : : (To be held in parallel with DEXA'00 (11th International Conference on : Database and Expert Systems Applications). : : Outline: : -------- : The growth of the Internet has dramatically changed the way in which web : data is managed, accessed and used commercially to conduct business : electronically. Thus, WWW, a distributed global information resource, is not : only important to individual users, but to business organizations. Today, a : large number of companies, organizations, and customers are exploiting the : opportunities offered by Internet-based electronic commerce solutions and : many more are expected to follow. Companies have put their databases and : product catalogues on the Web, search engines allow electronic market : participants around the globe to locate potential trading partners, and a : set of different protocols are established to exchange goods and services by : using different business models and following different strategies. There is : a diagnostic need for effective tools for information consumers, who must be : able to easily locate in the web interested information from unstructured : documents and pictures to structured, record oriented data. The effective : and efficient access to the web information to support e-commerce activities : has become a critical research area. This has led to the development of new : e-commerce tools and technology, web data models and query languages, web : site management system, auction and negotiation issues etc. The management : of Web data is receiving a new set of challenges with the advent of XML and : other standards. : : The main objective of this conference is to bring together researchers from : different disciplines, developers, and users all interested in electronic : commerce and web technologies and to assess current methodologies and new : research directions. Although a natural focus will be on computer science : issues, we expressly welcome technical research contributions from economics, : business, law, and other relevant disciplines. The conference will be organized : as a two track conference: E-commerce and Web Technologies.

This will be the largest showcase in Europe of real application using : Intelligent Systems (IS) technology and the ideal place to meet with those : working to make successful IS based applications. : : The Prestigious Applications of Intelligent Systems event will present papers : describing successful applications of intelligent systems. Papers are selected : to highlight critical areas of success (and failure) and to present the benefits : and lessons of value to other developers. Submitted papers should make these : points clear. Papers should contain sections covering the following information: : Descriptive Title and Abstract: These should convey clearly and simply what the : application is and its operational status. Do use a title that makes it clear to : a reader what the application is. Don't use a clever, but obscure title. : : Problem description: This should describe the problem that the application : solves, stating the objectives of the application and explaining why an : Intelligent Systems (IS) solution was required. If other solutions were tried : and failed, briefly outline these solutions with reasons for failure. : : Application description: This should describe the solution to the problem, with : technical details on design and implementation. It should describe any : methodological approach used, detail the key IS techniques used and if : appropriate show how they were integrated with conventional techniques. If : commercial tools were used they should be identified and reasons for their : selection given. : : Application building: This should describe the size and skill make-up of the : project team, how long is took to build and the costs involved. How it was/will : be installed and introduced to the users, with details of any training required. : Describe any plans for maintenance, in particular how the knowledge is expected : to change over time, and any features to aid the updating of knowledge, etc. : : Application benefits: Were potential benefits identified before building the : application and have these been realised or are likely to be realised? Has the : application been in use and, if so, how often has it been used and by how many : users? What further long term benefits are expected? What future plans have been : made for its enhancement and use? : : For PAIS-2000, a paper is acceptable even if it describes a system which has not : yet been installed, PROVIDED the application is original AND the paper discusses : the aspects and issues that would help someone thinking of implementing a : similar system in their own organisation. It must concisely describe and scope : the problem tackled, saying why it is hard, and why IS techniques are needed. It : should also make clear the status of the system, and should discuss such things : as the project duration and effort, how the project was justified and the : expected benefits estimated, any problems encountered, the performance of the : final system and the reactions of users. : The Review process is different and separate from the ECAI technical conference. : Papers will be evaluated by experienced application developers, based on the : above criterion. Accepted papers will be published in the ECAI proceedings. : : IMPORTANT DATES : : 2 Feb 2000 Deadline for PAIS paper summaries : 4 Feb 2000 Deadline for papers : 28 Apr 2000 Notification of acceptance : 29 May 2000 Camera-ready copies of papers : 23-25 Aug 2000 PAIS-2000 : : Formatting guidelines : : It is highly recommended to submit papers using the final camera-ready : formatting style.

Forwarded message from [danny(a)DSV.SU.SE (Danny Brash)] sent originally on Wed, 3 Nov 1999 09:34:34 +0100: : CAiSE'00 3rd Call for papers: : : Time is running out!!! : Send your paper submissions before the deadline, November 30 : : CAiSE'00 : Call for papers : 12th Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering : 5 - 9 June, 2000, Stockholm, Sweden : www.caise00.nu : : IMPORTANT DEADLINES : Nov. 30, 1999: paper submissions, panel&tutorial proposals : : CONFERENCE AIMS & OBJECTIVES : Since the late 1980s, the CAiSE conferences provide a forum for the : presentation and exchange of research results and practical experiences : within the field of Information Systems Engineering. In June 2000 the : conference will be held in Stockholm - one of the most beautiful cities in : the world. Stockholm is also an important center of research and : development for some of the leading IT and communications companies in : Europe and indeed, in the world. In tune with this environment, a major : theme of CAiSE*00 will be information systems and services in a digitized : world. : : CAiSE*00 aims at bringing together researchers, users, and practitioners : in the field of information systems engineering. The conference program : will feature paper presentations, workshops, tutorials, and interactive : panel sessions. : : CAiSE*00 is organized jointly by the Department of Computer and Systems : Sciences at Stockholm University and KTH, and the Swedish Research : Institute for Information Technology (SITI), in cooperation with the : Electrum Foundation. : : CONFERENCE THEME : Vast improvements in communication technology, including the increasing : use of Internet and WWW have, over the last ten years, led to better : communication and easier information access in general. In addition, it : has initiated changes in the way organizations cooperate and trade. Hence, : we see the formation of virtual enterprises where smaller companies : collaborate to solve tasks they cannot cope with alone. It also leads to : improvements in information services to people as consumers and as : citizens. However, for such information services in a digitized world to : become really useful it is required that they add value to the workings of : businesses and to people in their daily lives. This calls for enhancements : of methods and tools in order better to understand : organizations and the way they interact among themselves and with people. : Also, there is a need for enhanced design methods for services that are : truly value adding and that function well together with the organizations : legacy systems. In consequence, we are inviting papers and tutorial : proposals that address these issues from a wide range of perspectives but : with a common goal. The goal is to advance theory and practice of : analyzing and designing individual but integrated information services in : an organizational context. : : RELEVANT TOPICS : In addition to the special theme, topics relevant for submissions to : CAiSE*00 include, but are not limited to, the following: : Business process assessment and improvement : Business process models and processware : Component based development : Data warehousing : Electronic commerce : Enterprise Resource Planning : Information services on the net : Information systems and services to the citizen : IT solutions for learning organisations : Knowledge discovery in databases : IS strategy and planning : Managing organisational knowledge assets : Methodologies and models for IS : Metrics and assessment : Novel IS architectures (intelligent, cooperative, distributed, : multimedia,...) : Patterns (organizational, analysis, design, reuse) : Requirements engineering : Systems procurement processes : Virtual enterprising : : Case studies and experience reports related to the above topics are also : welcome. : : CALL FOR PAPERS : The conference organizers solicit papers within, but not restricted to, : areas indicated by the topics mentioned above. Papers should not exceed : 5,000 words. They must be original, and not submitted to, or accepted by, : any conference or journal. A separate cover sheet should be enclosed : containing the title of the paper, the author(s) and affiliation(s), and : the address (including e-mail address and fax number) to which : correspondence should be sent. This is the only place where the names of : the authors should appear. The cover sheet should also contain 2 - 3 : keywords indicating the area of the paper. : : Proceedings from CAiSE*00 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes : in Computer Science. The proceedings for the CAiSE annual conferences from : 1990 to 1998 are also available from this series. The best papers of the : conference will be proposed for publication (after revision and additional : refereeing) in a special issue of Information Systems: The International : Journal. : : CALL FOR PANELS AND TUTORIALS : Proposals are solicited for tutorials that will be held together with the : conference. Tutorials can be half day (3 hours) or full day (6 hours) and : should be of interest to participants from the academic and business : communities. The conference programme will also include a few panels on : current topics about which there is controversy and thus a need for public : discussion. Panel and tutorial proposals should include a title, an : abstract of the topics, duration, and a copy of the proposers curriculum : vitae. Tutorial proposals should also clearly identify the intended : audience and the requested level of expertise for attending the tutorial. : : CALL FOR WORKSHOPS : In conjunction with CAiSE*00, a series of workshops will take place. They : are meant to facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences between : active researchers. Workshop topics will be in line with the conference : topics. We invite prospective workshop organisers to submit proposals : stating the topic and goals of the workshop. Proposals will be reviewed by : the Organising Committee. All participants are expected to attend the main : conference. : : CALL FOR POSTERS : During the CAiSE*00 conference, a special room will be reserved for poster : sessions. Industrial and academic research projects of any scale are : invited to illustrate innovative concepts, theories or prototype systems : on a poster or in a demonstration. Poster proposals should include title, : one-page outline and names of presenters. : : SUBMISSIONS : Papers are preferably submitted electronically, either in pdf format or as : MsWord97 documents, attached to e-mails under the address : caise00(a)dsv.su.se. Please, do not compress or uuencode. : : Alternatively, papers may be submitted via regular mail.
