Dear Gustaf Neumann,

ICSOFT 2012 (International Conference on Software Paradigm Trends - http://www.icsoft.org/) has an open call for papers (deadline set for next March 6) and we invite you to participate by submitting a paper reflecting your current work. The conference will take place next year in Rome, Italy, on July 24-27.

ICSOFT 2012 aims to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested on information technology and software development. This seventh edition will focus on the four main paradigms that have been intensively studied during the last decade for software and system design, namely: Models, Aspects, Services and Context.
These four paradigms will drive the design and development of future software systems encompassing a large number of research topics and applications: from programming issues to the more abstract theoretical aspects of software engineering; from models and services to the most complex management information systems; Distributed systems, ubiquity, data interoperability; context understanding and many other topics are included in the scope of ICSOFT.

The conference will feature several Keynote Lectures delivered by distinguished world-class researchers. Please check the conference website for updates (http://www.icsoft.org/KeynoteSpeakers.aspx).
The Program Committee (check the website for a detailed list) includes internationally distinguished experts in the conference topic areas.

Last year's ICSOFT received 220 paper submissions, of which 12% were selected to be published and presented as full papers (10 pages / 30' oral presentation). Additionally, 28% were accepted as short papers (20' oral presentation) and 15% as posters. ICSOFT 2012 intends to reinforce this high level of quality.

Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers (full, short and posters) will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support. BXDY
A short list of presented papers will be selected for publication of extended and revised versions by Springer-Verlag in a CCIS Series book.
The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and Elsevier Index (EI).
All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SciTePress Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). SciTePress is member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/).

Best paper awards will be distributed during the conference closing session. Please check the website for further information (http://www.icsoft.org/BestPaperAward.aspx).

Workshops, Special sessions, Tutorials and Demonstrations dedicated to other technical/scientific topics are also envisaged: companies and researchers interested in presenting their products/methodologies/results in a dedicated satellite event are invited to contact the conference secretariat.  Workshop chairs and Special Session chairs will benefit from several types of support, including logistics, secretariat and financial, to facilitate the development of a valid idea.

ICSOFT 2012 will be held in conjunction with ICETE (9th International Joint Conference on e-Business and Telecommunications - http://www.icete.org) and DATA (International Conference on Data Technologies and Applications - http://www.dataconference.org). Registration to ICSOFT will allow free access to ICETE and DATA as a non-speaker.

ICSOFT's website - http://www.icsoft.org/ - has all the details on the conference structure and its main topic areas.
 
As always, we are at your full disposal for any questions and ideas you may have.

Best regards,
Sergio Brissos
