Call For Papers - CFP
ICSOFT is organized by INSTICC - Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and CommunicationSCOPEThe purpose of the ICSOFT 2009, the 4th International Conference on Software and Data Technologies, is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested on information technology and software development. The conference tracks are "Software Engineering", "Information Systems and Data Management", "Programming Languages", "Distributed and Parallel Systems" and "Knowledge Engineering". 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. 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 areas listed below. Accepted papers, presented at the conference by one of the authors, will be published in the Proceedings of ICSOFT, with an ISBN. 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.The best papers will be selected to appear either in an international journal or in a book to be published by Springer. Additional information can be found at http://www.icsoft.org. CONFERENCE AREASEach 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 conference areas: Programming Languages Software Engineering Distributed and Parallel Systems Information Systems and Data Management Knowledge Engineering AREA 1: PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES - Algorithms and data structures- Object-Oriented Programming - Visual Programming- Complexity- Languages and compilers- Declarative languages- Aspect-orientation AREA 2: SOFTWARE ENGINEERING - Requirements Analysis- Case-based reasoning and development- Reliable software technologies - Dependable computing- Software components - Software architectures- User modeling- Software maintenance- Reverse engineering- Real-time software- Software economics AREA 3: DISTRIBUTED AND PARALLEL SYSTEMS - Mobility- Ubiquitous computing- High performance computing- Grid computing- Load Balancing and Scheduling- Internet information systems- Multi-Agent Systems AREA 4: INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND DATA MANAGEMENT- Data and information quality - Databases, Data-mining and Data-warehouses- Data Semantics- Semantic Web Technologies- Information retrieval- Geographic Information Systems- Information Systems Development- Management Information Systems AREA 5: KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING - Knowledge Acquisition- Knowledge Representation- Knowledge Management- Expert Systems Applications- Machine Learning- Intelligent Problem Solving- Natural language processing KEYNOTE SPEAKERSRoel Wieringa, University of Twente, The NetherlandsJorge Cardoso, SAP AG, GermanyKecheng Liu, University of Reading, UKPericles Loucopoulos, University of Loughborough, UK(List not yet complete) PAPER SUBMISSIONAuthors should submit an original paper in English, carefully checked for correct grammar and spelling, using the on-line submission procedure. Please check the paper formats so you may be aware of the accepted paper page limits. The guidelines for paper formatting provided at the conference web site must be strictly used for all submitted papers. The submission format is the same as the camera-ready format. Please check and carefully follow the instructions and templates provided. Each paper should clearly indicate the nature of its technical/scientific contribution, and the problems, domains or environments to which it is applicable. Papers that are out of the conference scope or contain any form of plagiarism will be rejected without reviews. Remarks about the on-line submission procedure:1. A "double-blind" paper evaluation method will be used. To facilitate that, the authors are kindly requested to produce and provide the paper, WITHOUT any reference to any of the authors. This means that is necessary to remove the authors personal details, the acknowledgements section and any reference that may disclose the authors identity. LaTeX/PS/PDF/DOC/DOCX/RTF format are accepted. 2. The web submission procedure automatically sends an acknowledgement, by e-mail, to the contact author. Paper submission types:Regular Paper SubmissionA regular paper presents a work where the research is completed or almost finished. It does not necessary means that the acceptance is as a full paper. It may be accepted as a "full paper" (30 min. oral presentation) , a "short paper" (20 min. oral presentation) or a "poster". Position Paper SubmissionA position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. It is, nevertheless, important to support your argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims. A position paper may be a short report and discussion of ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research (bibliographic, experimental, theoretical, or other) focused on one of the conference topic areas. The acceptance of a position paper is restricted to the categories of "short paper" or "poster", i.e. a position paper is not a candidate to acceptance as "full paper". Camera-ready: After the reviewing process is completed, the contact author (the author who submits the paper) of each paper will be notified of the result, by e-mail. The authors are required to follow the reviews in order to improve their paper before the camera-ready submission.All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings, under an ISBN reference, in paper and in CD-ROM support. PUBLICATIONSAll accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, in paper and in CD-ROM support. A book including a selection of the best conference papers will be edited and published by Springer-Verlag.The proceedings will be indexed by ISI Proceedings, INSPEC and DBLP.EI already agreed to index the proceedings of ICSOFT2006. Proceedings of ICSOFT 2007 are under evaluation and the proceedings of ICSOFT 2008 will be evaluated by EI after their publication.
