Call For Papers

The goal of the ICEBE 2006 Industry Track is to foster exchanges between practitioners and the academics, to promote novel solutions to today's business challenges, to provide practitioners in the field an early opportunity to evaluate leading-edge research, and to identify new issues and directions for future research and development work.

We invite submissions on all topics related to e-business enablement (i.e., transformation, application, and optimization). Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to those identified in the conference CFP, as well as those listed below:

Case study of the challenges and benefits of e-business enablement in the industry (e.g. banking, telecommunication, retail, automotives, manufacturing) and government
Business and IT gap analysis
Evaluation and execution of business strategy (e.g., KPI, ROI analysis, real options analysis)
Customer insight and customer relationship management
Business process outsourcing and its impact on business operations and IT
Business componentization and adoption of service-oriented architecture (SOA)
Enterprise application integration and business process integration

Industrial papers will follow the same submission and notification schedule as the research track papers and should be submitted via the same ICEBE online paper submission system. For easy identification, all industrial papers should have as their title "Industry Track: rest of title.” Industrial papers should be in 8.5" x 11" IEEE camera-ready format and must not exceed 6 single-spaced pages.

All industrial papers will be peer-reviewed and published in the conference proceedings, which will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Submissions must not be published or submitted for another conference. Industrial papers will also be considered for publications in journal special issues along with research track papers.
