The 16th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (ICEIS 2014 - http://www.iceis.org) steering committee cordially invites you to submit a paper to the ICEIS 2014 Conference, to be held in Lisbon, Portugal. The deadline for paper submission is scheduled for October 22, 2013.

The purpose of the 16th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (ICEIS) is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested in the advances and business applications of information systems. Six simultaneous tracks will be held, covering different aspects of Enterprise Information Systems Applications, including Enterprise Database Technology, Systems Integration, Artificial Intelligence, Decision Support Systems, Information Systems Analysis and Specification, Internet Computing, Electronic Commerce, Human Factors and Enterprise Architecture.

The conference will be sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC) and held in cooperation with the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI). INSTICC is Member of the Object Management Group (OMG) and the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC). The Science and Technology Events (SCITEVENTS) will be the Logistics Partner.

We would like to highlight the presence of the following keynote speakers:
- Kecheng Liu, University of Reading, United Kingdom
- Jan Dietz, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands
(more to be announced soon)

ICEIS is interested in promoting high quality research as it can be confirmed by last year acceptance rates, where from 307 submissions, 8% were presented as full papers. Additionally, 24% were short oral presentations and 27% presented as posters.

Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support.
A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer in a LNBIP Series book.

The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP, EI (Elsevier Index) and Scopus.
All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). SCITEPRESS is member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/).

Best paper awards will be distributed during the conference closing session. Please check the website for further information (http://www.iceis.org/BestPaperAward.aspx).

Workshops, Special sessions, Tutorials as well as Demonstrations dedicated to other technical/scientific topics are also envisaged: companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or researchers interested in holding a tutorial are invited to contact the conference secretariat. Workshop chairs and Special Session chairs will benefit from logistics support and other types of support, including secretariat and financial support, to facilitate the development of a valid idea.

ICEIS 2014 will be held in conjunction with ENASE 2014 (http://www.enase.org) in Lisbon, Portugal. Registration to ICEIS will enable free attendance to any sessions of ENASE 2014 conference as a non-speaker.
