Dear Gustaf Neumann,

ICSOFT 2012 (7th International Conference on Software Paradigm Trends - http://www.icsoft.org/) has an open call for position papers (deadline set for next April 26) and we invite you to participate by submitting a paper reflecting your current work in any of the areas listed below. The conference will be held this Summer in Rome, Italy, on July 24-27.

A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. It is, nevertheless, important to support your argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims. A position paper may be a short report and discussion of ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research (bibliographic, experimental, theoretical, or other) focused on one of the conference topic areas. The acceptance of a position paper is restricted to the categories of "short paper" or "poster", i.e. a position paper is not a candidate to acceptance as "full paper".

The conference will feature four Keynote Lectures delivered by distinguished world-class researchers: Stephen Mellor, (Freeter, U.K.), Daniela Nicklas (Carl von Ossietzky Universitaet Oldenburg, Germany), Fabio Casati (University of Trento, Italy) and Jan Dietz (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands). 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 both 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.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.

Best regards,

Sergio Brissos
