WETICE 2015 Call for Tracks (issue October 13, 2014)

The IEEE International Conference on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE) is an international forum for the state-of-the-art research in enabling technologies for collaboration, consisting of a number of related conference tracks.

Proceedings

The conference proceedings are published by IEEE Computer Society and will be submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore digital library. The proceedings will be submitted for indexing through INSPEC, Scopus, Compendex, Thomson Reuters, DBLP, Google Scholar and EI Index.

Topics

WETICE is based on a flexible structure of self-contained and self-managed tracks. Over the past years WETICE hosted tracks on a variety of topics such as adaptive computing, collaborative software processes, collaborative modeling & simulation, service-oriented architectures and cloud computing, autonomic green computing, collaborative verification and validation of systems and services, dynamic network management, collaboration tools for cultural heritage and collaborative web knowledge.

Proposals

The 24th WETICE edition will be held on June 15-18, 2015 in Larnaca, Cyprus. The conference organizing committee solicits proposals for organizing and hosting tracks. Prospective track chairs should submit a proposal for organizing a track, which should include at least the following items:

1. The title and the acronym for the proposed track with a description of objectives, covered topics and the motivation for having such a track in WETICE. The motivation should compare the proposed event to any related ongoing tracks and why the proposed track differs from them or complements them.
2. A short description of the activities the track chair(s) will plan to undertake upon acceptance of the proposal, to disseminate the call-for-papers for the track through, e.g, track web site, mailing lists, social networks, selected contacts, etc. The track proposers should also indicate the potential audience by estimating the number of people who are supposed to participate to WETICE and attend the track.
3. A short CV of the prospective track chair(s) with reference to research interests and publication record directly related to the themes of the proposed track, and any previous experience of involvement in the organization of similar events. A link to a personal web page with additional information would be helpful.
4. A list of potential program committee members for the proposed track, with name and affiliation of each member and (when available) a link to relevant personal web pages.

All proposals will be reviewed by the WETICE Steering Committee using the criteria described above. The Committee reserves the right to accept a proposal as is, require modifications, recommend merging with tracks that covers similar topics or reject a proposal. Upon acceptance of a proposal, the track chairs will be notified of their responsibilities in managing their track, according to what defined by both IEEE and WETICE conference rules. The Committee reserves the rights to cancel a track at any time if these responsibilities are not addressed adequately by the track chair(s).
