ICE-B is organized by INSTICC - Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication and technically co-sponsored by IEEE and in-cooperation with ACM-SIGMIS.
SCOPE
The purpose of ICE-B 2006, the 2006 International Conference on E-business, is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested on information systems methods and applications in the context of e-business.
e-Business is a research area of growing importance, encompassing several areas of theoretical and practical importance. Therefore, we look forward to receive research work and applications on innovative aspects of several areas relater to e-Business, including: “Communication and Software Infrastructure”, “Web and Mobile Business Systems and Services” and “Business and Social Applications”. Ideas on how to analyze and approach problems by combining information systems and communication 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 ICE-B, 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.
Special sessions, case-studies and tutorials dedicated to technical/scientific topics related to the main conference are also envisaged: researchers interested in organizing a special session, or companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or researchers interested in holding a tutorial are invited to contact the conference secretariat. Additional information can be found at http://www.ice-b.org.

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 ICE-B web-based submission facility
available at the conference web site, http://www.ice-b.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". Please contact the secretariat
if no acknowledgement is received.
If the author is unable to use the web-based procedure then he/she
can send the paper by e-mail to the secretariat attaching an additional
file containing: the title, author(s), affiliation(s), contact
details, a list of keywords and an abstract. Authors must also
indicate the conference area (including the topics),
to which the paper is submitted.
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, the number of pages may be increased up to a maximum of
12 (long presentations), 8 (short presentations) and 6 (poster
presentations). However, for each page in excess of the maximum
allowed, the author will have to pay an additional fee.
PUBLICATIONS
ICE-B 2006 papers will be indexed by DBLP.
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 Springer.
The publication of extended versions of
outstanding conference papers is also a possibility being discussed
with several scientific journals.

VENUE
The conference will be held in the campus of the Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal. With five Schools, the Institute has excellent conditions for holding conferences, including several 100-seat lecture theatres and one fully equipped 350-seat auditorium.
Setúbal, a city with about 75,000 inhabitants, sits by the Atlantic Ocean and on the right edge of the Sado River, in front of Tróia, approximately 50 km to the south of the Portuguese capital - Lisboa - where the nearest airport is located. Setúbal offers its visitors an unforgettable environment: Dauphins and other ocean life, monuments and flaring landscapes are conjugated with an important industrial implantation. The visitor can find anything from ancient historical areas, in Palmela, to pleasurable beaches and modern golf courses, in Troia. It is also possible to make a break after the conference, in Algarve, less than two hours away from the conference site by car.
