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 Set³bal (ESTSet³bal) 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.
TOPIC AREAS / CONFERENCE TRACKS Each of these topic areas is expanded below but the sub-topics list is not exhaustive. Papers may address one or more of the listed sub-topics, although authors should not feel limited by them. Unlisted but related sub-topics are also acceptable, provided they fit in one of the following main topic areas:
Databases and Information Systems Integration
Artificial Intelligence and Decision Support Systems
Information Systems Analysis and Specification
Internet Computing and Electronic Commerce
WORKSHOPS ICEIS expects to host several workshops. If you would like to propose the organization of a workshop to be held in conjunction with ICEIS 2002, please contact the secretariat as soon as possible.
Keynote Speakers ICEIS 2002 will have several invited keynote speakers, as in previous editions. Their names are not yet confirmed.
TUTORIALS ICEIS 2002 will have several tutorials, as in previous editions, to be lectured the day before the conference opening. If you would like to propose a tutorial for ICEIS 2002, please contact the secretariat as soon as possible. Proposals should specify the topic and scope of the tutorial, the background knowledge expected of the participants, and a short CV of the instructor(s).
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 A blind paper evaluation method will be used. To facilitate that, the authors are kindly requested to produce and provide two separate files: A papers front-page, with: the title, author(s), affiliation(s), contact details, a list of keywords and an abstract. 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. 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 contact author. 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. 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. 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

VENUE Ciudad Real is in Castilla-La Mancha, the Don Quixote's 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 Crdoba and two hours by train from Sevilla.
