The purpose of the 1st International Conference on E-Business and Telecommunication Networks is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested in the understanding and applications of E-Business and Telecommunication Networks. Four simultaneous tracks will be held, covering Global Communication Services, Software and Systems, Security and Reliability, Wireless Communication, and Multimedia Signal Processing. Organised by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication, in cooperation with IEEE Communications Society, ACM and IEICE, the conference will take place in Setubal, a town 40-km south of Lisbon, the Portuguese capital.
Information systems and information technology are pervasive in the whole Communications field, which is quite vast, encompassing a large number of research topics and applications: from hardware and electronics to the more abstract theoretical aspects of communication, from low level protocols to high-level networking and applications, and from security concerns to wireless information systems. ICETE summit is mainly interested in contributions related to information and communication systems issues and applications involving high-level technologies and protocols, not the lower OSI levels.
Ideas on how to analyse and approach problems by combining information systems and telecommunication technologies, either in the scope of R&D projects, engineering or business applications, are welcome. Papers describing new methods or technologies, 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 topic areas.
Accepted papers, presented at the conference by one of the authors, will be published in the Proceedings of ICETE, with an ISBN. Furthermore, a short list of about thirty papers will be selected to appear in a book that will be published by Kluwer Academic Publishers . 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. The organisation is also open to specialised workshop proposals.
Deadline for Author Notification was 24th May 2004 and for Final Camera-Ready Submission and Registration was 14th June 2004. The term for full paper submission was 29th February and for Workshops Submission, 30th April.
