Dear Gustaf Neumann,

Let me kindly inform you that the 9th International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies (WEBIST 2013 - http://www.webist.org/), to be held in Aachen, Germany (May 8 - 10, 2013) is now welcoming the submission of position papers whose deadline is scheduled for next January 21.

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 topics. The acceptance of a position paper is restricted to the categories of "short paper" or "poster". Please check further details about position papers submission at the conference website (http://www.webist.org/).

The conference will be technically sponsored by the European Research Center for Information Systems (ERCIS), sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC) and Co-organized by the RWTH Aachen University. INSTICC is Member of the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) and Object Management Group (OMG).

WEBIST is interested in promoting high quality research as it can be confirmed by last year acceptance rates, where from 184 submissions, 14% were accepted as full papers. Additionally, 31% were presented as short papers and 17% as posters.

Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support.

A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in a LNBIP Series book.

The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and EI (Elsevier Index).

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

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/).

We also would like to highlight the possibility to submit to the following Special Sessions:

- Special Session on Business Apps - BA 2013 (http://www.webist.org/BA.aspx) - Socio-technical Dynamics in Information Systems - STDIS 2013 (http://webist.org/STDIS.aspx) - GRAph-based Modeling and Matching in the Web - GraW 2013 (http://www.webist.org/GRAW.aspx)

Workshops, Special sessions, Tutorials as well as Demonstrations dedicated to other 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. Workshop chairs and Special Session chairs will benefit from logistics support and other types of support, including secretariat and financial support, to facilitate the development of a valid idea. The conference program features a number of Keynote Lectures to be delivered by distinguished world-class researchers, including those listed below.

Please check further details at the WEBIST conference website (http://www.webist.org/). Should you have any question please don't hesitate contacting me.

WEBIST 2013 will be held in conjunction with CLOSER-2013, SMARTGREENS-2013 and CSEDU-2013 in Aachen, Germany. Registration to WEBIST will enable free attendance to any sessions of CLOSER, SMARTGREENS and CSEDU conferences as a non-speaker.

Kind regards, Carla Mota WEBIST Secretariat
