ICEIS 2001

3rd International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems

7-10 July, 2001 - Setúbal, Portugal. In cooperation with IEEE ComSoc, AAAI and IAPR. http://www.iceis.org

ICEIS 2001 is a large international conference on the area of "Enterprise Information Systems" focusing mostly on applications, methodologies and technologies relevant for business organisations. The conference will be held from 7 to 10 July 2001 in the School of Technology of the Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal (Portugal).

More than 300 researchers and practitioners are expected, coming from more than 30 countries from all over the world, to discuss several topics concerning different aspects of "Enterprise Information Systems". This theme is raising a huge interest both in business and in the academia, and ICEIS provides the ideal forum for promoting the meeting of both researchers and practitioners and experience exchange.

About 150 technical communications, previously selected by an international committee of more than 95 Ph.D. experts in the various conference areas, will be presented and also made available at the conference site both in book format and CD-ROM format. The conference thematic areas are mainly related to the application of Information Technology and Information Systems to: (i) Databases and Information Systems Integration; (ii) Artificial Intelligence and Decision Support Systems; (iii) Information Systems Analysis and Specification; and (iv) Internet Computing and Electronic Commerce.

It should be emphasised the high number of invited keynote lectures, presented by distinguished speakers coming from some of the most prestigious Universities in the World, such as Stanford and the MIT (USA). There will be a panel, at the conference opening, where these distinguished speakers will debate, with the audience, several aspects related to the social impact of Enterprise Information Systems and Information Technologies on the XXIst century organisations.

Besides technical communications, a series of case-study applications in the area of Enterprise Information Systems will also be presented, by Portuguese companies. On July 6 and 7, three workshops will be held on very specific subjects, namely: (i) Pattern Recognition in Information Systems; (ii) New Developments on Digital Libraries; and (iii) Open Distributed Processing.
