INTERNET AND ELECTRONIC COMMERCE : +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ : This international conference is organised by the School of Computing at : Staffordshire University, UK and the Escola Superior de Tecnologia of the : Instituto Politecnico, Setubal, Portugal. : : --- SCOPE --- : The purpose of this 2nd 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 Computing, including Enterprise Database : Applications, Artificial Intelligence Applications and Decision Support : Systems, Systems Analysis and Specification, and Internet 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. There will be both oral and : poster sessions. : : Special sessions, dedicated to case-studies and commercial presentations, as : well as technical 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. : We are building on the success achieved by ICEIS'99 with more than 350 : delegates, 8 VIPs and a book published by Kluwer Academic Publishers (in : press).
