SCOPE

The purpose of the First International Conference on Semantic E-business and Enterprise Computing (SEEC) is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested on information systems methods, applications in the technological advances and e-business applications of web-based information systems. The conference has different areas of interest, covering different aspects of Web Information Systems, including Internet Technology, Web Interfaces, Semantic e-business Applications, Society, e-Communities,
SEEC focuses on theory as well as real world applications; therefore authors should highlight the benefits of Web Information Systems and Technologies for industry and services, in addition to academic applications. Ideas on how to solve business problems, using web based information systems and technologies, will arise from the conference. All papers must describe original work, technical papers describing original, previously unpublished results are solicited in all areas of theory and application of Semantic Web technologies, including knowledge mark-up languages, Semantic Web services, ontology management, and issues related to E-Business and ERP security, of which the later forms the foundation of E-Business.

Accepted papers, presented at the conference by one of the authors, will be published in the Proceedings of SEEC. Acceptance will be based on quality, relevance and originality. Both full research reports and work-in-progress reports are welcome.
Special sessions, dedicated to case-studies and commercial presentations, are also envisaged: companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or current areas of interest are invited to contact the conference secretariat.
