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

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.
