CALL FOR PAPERS

6th International Conference on Software and Data Technologies - ICSOFT 2011

Website: http://www.icsoft.org

July 18 - 21, 2011 Seville, Spain

Dear Gustaf Neumann,

ICSOFT 2011 (International Conference on Software and Data Technologies - http://www.icsoft.org/) has an open call for papers (deadline set for next February 1) and we invite you to participate by submitting a paper reflecting your current work.

ICSOFT is sponsored by INSTICC and held in collaboration with the University of Seville and the Escuela Tecnica Superior de Ingenieria Informatica (ETSII) at the University of Seville. Organized in cooperation with WfMC (Workflow Management Coalition), IICREST (Interdisciplinary Institute for Collaboration and Research on Enterprise Systems and Technology), CEPIS (Council of European Professional Informatics Societies), ATI (Asociacion de Tecnicos de Informatica), FIDETIA (Fundacion para la Investigacion y el Desarollo de las Tecnologias de la Informacion en Andalucia) and INES (Iniciativa Espanola de Software y Servicios), ICSOFT will take place next year in Seville, Spain, on July 18-21.

Software and data technologies are essential for developing any computer information system, encompassing a large number of research topics and applications: from programming issues to the more abstract theoretical aspects of software engineering; from databases and data-warehouses to the most complex management information systems; knowledge-base systems; Distributed systems, ubiquity, data quality and many other topics are included in the scope of ICSOFT. Ideas on how to analyze and approach problems by combining software development and data technologies, either in the scope of R&D projects, engineering or business applications, are welcome. BXDY

The conference will feature a number of Keynote Lectures delivered by distinguished world-class researchers. Prof. Ivan Ivanov (SUNY Empire State College, U.S.A.) is already confirmed. The Program Committee (check the website for a detailed list) includes internationally distinguished experts on the conference topic areas.

Last year's ICSOFT received 266 paper submissions, of which 9% were selected to be published and presented as full papers (8 pages / 30' oral presentations). Additionally, 21% were accepted as short papers (20' oral presentation) and 15% as posters. ICSOFT 2011 intends to reinforce this high level of quality.

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 papers presented at the conference will be selected for publication of extended and revised versions in: Springer-Verlag (CCIS Series), CEPIS UPGRADE Journal and REICIS. The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index, INSPEC, DBLP and EI. Best paper awards will be bestowed at the conference closing session. All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SciTePress Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/).

Workshops and Special Sessions are also invited. If you wish to propose a workshop or a special session, based for example on the results of a specific research project, please 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. The 5th International Workshop on Architectures, Concepts and Technologies for Service Oriented Computing (ACT4SOC 2011) is already confirmed.

All the details on ICSOFT and its main topic areas can be found at the conference website (http://www.icsoft.org).

Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards, Sergio Brissos
