Call for Papers
1st International Conference on E-business and Telecommunication Networks
Scope
The purpose of the 1st International Conference on E-Business and
Telecommunication Networks (ICETE) 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.
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; from security concerns to wireless information
systems; many other topics could be listed. ICETE 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 analyze 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 areas
listed below.
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. We are also open to specialized
workshop proposals. Additional information can be found at
www.icete.org

Workshops
ICETE expects to host several workshops. If you would like to
propose the organization of a workshop to be held in conjunction
with ICETE 2004, please contact the secretariat as soon as
possible.
Keynote Speakers
ICETE 2004 will have several invited keynote speakers, who are
internationally recognized experts in their areas. Their names are
not yet confirmed.
Tutorials
ICETE 2004 will include several tutorials, to be lectured the day
before the conference opening. If you would like to propose a
tutorial for ICETE 2004, 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).
Submission of Papers
Authors should submit a complete paper in English of up to 8 A4
pages, using the submission procedure 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.
Paper submission procedure
1. 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.
2. The contact author will then use the ICETE web-based submission
facility available at the conference web site, http://www.icete.org
to enter the contact information of all paper authors plus the file
indicated in point 1, above. The facility will automatically send a
submission acknowledgement, by email, to the author indicated as
"contact author".
The camera-ready format will be enforced only for accepted papers,
but authors are encouraged to use it also for paper submissions, in
order to reduce extra work later. Two templates are provided at the
conference web site: one for Latex and another for MS Word.
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.
Publications
All 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 a world class publisher, not yet
confirmed. The publication of extended versions of outstanding
conference papers is also a possibility being discussed with
several scientific journals.
Important Deadlines
Full Paper Submission: 15th February 2004
Workshops Submission: 15th April 2004
Author Notification: 15th May 2004

Venue
The conference will be held in Setubal, a town 40-km south of
Lisboa, the Portuguese capital. Setubal and its surroundings are a
major touristic place in Portugal, where the visitor can find
anything from ancient historical areas, in Palmela, to pleasurable
beaches and modern golf courses, in Troia. Another interesting
place in Portugal - Algarve - is less than two hours away from the
conference site.
