Call for contributions
18th IFIP World Computer Congress
The premier international forum on Sciences and Technologies of Information and Communication
22-27 August 2004
Toulouse, France
http://www.wcc2004.org
*******************************************************************
The technological evolution of the sciences and technologies of information and communication (STIC) during the last decades is far from reaching completion. The challenges posed to the STIC community for pursuing the evolution share a dramatic jump in complexity, be it for the fall of elementary hardware dimensions towards nanometric scales, for producing software of warranted quality, or for providing the informational infrastructure with protections and with human-machine interaction modes that enable the emerging paradigm of Ambient Intelligence to support the Knowledge Society.
The 18th IFIP World Computer Congress will cover the above-mentioned challenges via a rich program featuring nine co-located established conferences, topical days or sessions, workshops, tutorials, a student forum, an exhibition.
The topics of the co-located conferences range from theoretical informatics to the relationship between informatics and society, through hardware and software technologies and non-functional aspects relating to our dependency on networked information systems:
�� - Theoretical Computer Science - TCS
�� - Information Security - SEC
�� - Smartcard Research and Advanced Applications - CARDIS
�� - Distributed and Parallel Embedded Systems - DIPES
�� - Artificial Intelligence Applications and Innovations - AIAI
�� - Human Error, Safety and System Development - HESSD
�� - Virtual Enterprises - PRO-VE
�� - e-Commerce, e-Business and e-Government - I3E
�� - History of Computing in Education - HCE
The topical days or sessions will offer synthetic and prospective views on topics� of dramatic interest for the emergence of the Knowledge Society.
Deadlines for submission: �� - Topical sessions/days, Workshops: end October 2003 �� - Conference papers (see the website for the various conferences), ���� Tutorials: January 2004
Please visit the conference web site for detailed submission instructions and updated information on the Congress (http://www.wcc2004.org).
