Dear colleagues,

or using open source tools
* to build and discuss a scientific framework about open source
technology usage (benefits and limitations)
* to provide a platform to network and develop ideas for future
collaborative works between the academic research world and the everyday
operational world (companies, local authorities ...)
The symposium will integrate scientific conferences (research papers),
companies and authorities testimonies (showcases) and training sessions

Thus, we invite to submit contributions which can be a full paper for
the research session or an abstract for the labs session. Notice, the
call for showcases will also be launched during January 2009.
