Dear Sirs,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to the CENTERIS’2009 - Conference on ENTERprise Information Systems – aligning technology, organizations and people, to be held in Ofir, Portugal, organized by the Polytechnic Institute of Cávado and Ave and the University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro.

This is the place where, from 07 to 09 October 2009, under the leitmotiv of Enterprise Information Systems, academics, scientists, IT/IS professionals, managers and solution providers from all over the world will have the opportunity to share experiences, bring new ideas, debate issues, introduce the latest developments in the field.

CENTERIS’2009 is an international conference that will address the largely multidisciplinary field embraced by the Enterprise Information Systems (EIS), from the social, organizational and technological perspectives. 
The 3-day conference follows an innovative format, previewing scientific sessions, tutorial and technical sessions, and simultaneously exhibitions by solutions providers and product presentations. 
There will also be a social program that will enable participants to get to know each other and informally exchange information, contacts and experiences, discuss projects, and incubate partnerships.

------------- Submission and Publications

Submissions will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. 
Only original contributions will be accepted.

All accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings Book (full texts) with ISBN and on a CD-ROM to be distributed during the conference.

Authors of a selection of around 25 papers will be invited for enhancing and extending their papers for inclusion in a book to be published by IGI-Global, to be released by early 2010. Depending on the number of high quality papers accepted, the Organization can consider the edition of two books, instead of one.

According to the Scientific Committee recommendations, authors of selected papers will be invited to enhance the paper for publication in:

     -  A Special Issue of the Information Resources Management Journal (IRMJ);
     -  The International Journal of Enterprise Information Systems (IJEIS);
     -  Journal of Theoretical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research (JTAER);
     -  International Journal of Information Technologies and Systems Approach (IJITSA);
     -  The emerging “Information and Communication Technologies for the Advanced Enterprise: an international journal” (ICT'ae).

At the end of this message you will find the composition of the Editorial Board.

------------- Hotel and travel arrangements

The Conference will take place at AXIS OFIR Beach Resort Hotel in Ofir, Esposende, Portugal, a 4-star Hotel located in one of the most beautiful landscapes in the North of Portugal. The Atlantic coast of Esposende is part of the Natural Park of the North Coast, a protected area of great beauty.
Ofir is located in a wonderful historic and cultural region with three locations/zones proclaimed as UNESCO cultural World Heritage within 100 km: Historic Centre of Guimaraes (50Km), Historic Centre of Porto (40Km) and Alto Douro Wine Region.
The Hotel Axis Ofir is located 35 km north of the Oporto International Airport “Francisco Sa Carneiro”. It is connected by the highway A28. We suggest getting a taxi which cost would be around 35 Euros (one way), taking less than 30 min to the Hotel.
