NGITS'2009
The 7th conference on Next Generation Information Technologies and Systems 
June 15th – June 18th, 2009, Haifa, Israel
http://mis.haifa.ac.il/~ngits2009
NGITS 2009 is the seventh conference in a series that was launched in 1993
to promote research on new technologies in information systems. The NGITS
conference is a 4-day event that combines keynote addresses, presentations
of research papers, poster sessions, technical demonstrations, an industrial
track, tutorials, and social events.  Information on the previous six NGITS
conference may be found at
http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/ngits/index.html.
Call for Papers
We invite technical research papers on all aspects of information systems.
Of particular interest are papers that combine multiple disciplines of
computer science to develop new technologies for information systems.
Submissions may report original research results, outline new viewpoints and
challenges, or describe the implementation or deployment of a novel
technology in an actual setting. Accordingly, authors should categorize
their submission as “research,” “vision,” or “experience,” depending on its
primary contribution. NGITS 2009 will feature an additional industrial
track.  See the call for papers at: 
http://mis.hevra.haifa.ac.il/~ngits2009/industrial.html. In addition to
technical research papers, we are also seeking proposals for panels and
demonstrations.  The proceedings of NGITS 2009 will be published in
Springer's LNCS series. To illustrate the scope of NGITS, a list of topics
is given below, but submissions are not limited to these topics.

Applications
Requirements engineering
Model-driven engineering
Design of IS
Human aspects

Business Transformation and Optimization
IT Governance
Agile software development
Ontologies
Verification, testing, and evaluation of IS
Database management

Service-Oriented Architecture
Web services
Middleware
Virtualization
Collaboration technologies
Enterprise applications

Demos should feature mature systems or innovative prototypes of information
systems. They should be attractive, address applications of broad interest
in such a way that they can be appreciated by a diverse audience and clearly
show the contributions to the conference themes. We also encourage
submissions of demos that have already been described in the literature. All
submissions should be in LNCS format. For camera-ready format instructions,
please see “Information for LNCS Authors” instructions at
www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Full paper submissions should not
exceed 12 pages, and poster submissions should not exceed 4 pages. Authors
of demos should submit short (1-3 pages) informal descriptions of their
proposed presentations. Please describe what attendees will be able to see
or do during your demo (e.g., screenshots) and itemize any equipment or
facilities that you will require for your demonstration. Detailed
information on the paper submission procedure will be available at the
workshop's web site in time for submission.
