            International Conference On Enterprise Information Systems École Supérieure d' Électronique de l' Ouest
            - Angers - France - 23-26 April, 2003
  
     ICEIS 2003 will be organised and hosted by ESEO - L' École Superieur d' Électronique de l' Ouest - Angers (France), in collaboration with EST - Escola Superior de Tecnologia de
    Setúbal (Portugal). The purpose of the 5th 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 Information Systems Applications, including
    Enterprise Database Technology, Systems Integration, Artificial
    Intelligence, Decision Support Systems, Information Systems Analysis and
    Specification, Internet Computing and Electronic Commerce. Human factors issues in the development of these applications are also considered. 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. Both full research reports and
    work-in-progress reports are welcome. There will be both oral and poster
    sessions.  Special sessions, dedicated to case-studies and commercial presentations,
    as well as 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. Information concerning the previous ICEIS editions
    (ICEIS'99, ICEIS 2000, ICEIS 2001, ICEIS 2002) can be found at http://www.iceis.org,
    http://www.est.ips.pt/iceis 
    and http://www.soc.staffs.ac.uk/iceis.    Each of these topic areas is expanded below but the sub-topics list is
    not exhaustive. Papers may address one or more of the listed sub-topics,
    although authors should not feel limited by them. Unlisted but related
    sub-topics are also acceptable, provided they fit in one of the following
    main topic areas: 
      1. Databases and Information Systems Integration 2. Artificial Intelligence and Decision Support Systems

If you would like to propose the
    organization of a workshop to be held in conjunction with ICEIS 2003, please
    contact the secretariat as soon as possible.    ICEIS 2003 will have several invited keynote speakers, as in previous
    editions. Their names are not yet confirmed.    ICEIS 2003 will have several tutorials, as in previous editions, to be
    lectured the day before the conference opening. If you would like to propose
    a tutorial for ICEIS 2003, please contact the secretariat as soon as
    possible. Proposals should specify the topic and scope of the tutorial, the
    background knowledge expected of the participants, and a short CV of the
    instructor(s).    Authors should submit a paper in English of about 8 A4 pages, up to
    5.000 words, using the paper format indicated below. The program
    committee will review all papers and the contact author of each paper will
    be notified of the result, by email. Each paper should clearly indicate the
    nature of its technical/scientific contribution, and the problems, domains
    or environments to which it is applicable. Authors must also indicate the
    conference track to which the paper is submitted. The paper must be
    carefully checked for correct grammar and spelling.  Authors should use the ICEIS
    web-based submission facility available at the conference web site, to enter
    the contact information of all paper authors plus the file containing the
    paper. The facility will automatically send a submission
    acknowledgement, by email, to the author indicated as "contact
    author".   A "blind" paper evaluation method will be used. To
    facilitate that, the authors are kindly requested to produce and provide the
    full paper, WITHOUT any reference to the authors. The manuscript must
    contain, in its first page, the paper title, an abstract and a list of
    keywords but NO NAMES OR CONTACT DETAILS WHATSOEVER are to be included in
    any part of this file. 
       If the author is unable to use the web-based procedure then he/she
            can send the paper by email to the secretariat
            attaching a second file containing: the title, author(s),
            affiliation(s), contact details, a list of keywords and an abstract.   The camera-ready format should be strictly used for all
            submitted papers. Please check and carefully follow the instructions
            and templates provided.
 Due to space
    limitations in the Proceedings, the camera-ready version will be limited to
    8 (eight) pages for full papers, 6 (six) for short papers (progress reports)
    and 4 (four) for poster presentations. If absolutely needed, it will be
    allowed to increase the total number of pages, by 4 extra pages. However,
    for each excess page the author will have to pay an additional fee.

   Angers, the capital of the historic province of Anjou, is considered one
    of the most beautiful cities in France, with its old streets, museums, gardens, gastronomic restaurants, art festivals. Foremost among its many notable
    structures is the magnificent twin-spiraled Cathedral of Saint Maurice
    (12th-13th century) and the massive Castle of Angers (early 13th century),
    with its moat and soaring towers. Today the castle of Angers houses a
    tapestry museum that includes the famous 140 meters long Apocalypse
    series. The town has seen passing through it some of the greatest figures in the history of France: the
    Plantagenêts, King René, the writer François Rabelais, the poet Joachim du
    Bellay, as well as the composer Clément Janequin  and the surgeon Ambroise
    Paré.
    Strategically located in the "Val de Loire", recently recognised by UNESCO as a world heritage for humanity,
    the site of the most beautiful
    French castles, near the Paris region and the western part of France, ANGERS
    is also at the heart of a knowledge-intensive region, offering a wide range
    of education centers and successful research institutes, and attracting many
    successful IT enterprises.The high-speed train (TGV) can easily reach Paris in only 1 1/2 hours.
