CONFERENCE GOALS

New Web Opportunities to increase Digital Citizenship

EATIS 2008 aims, but are not limited to, the production of scientific work around e-Government, e-Health, e-Learning, e-Culture and e-Entertainment (local, regional, national and international), Web Semantic, and Web 2.0 communities, contents and technologies.

Submitted papers hopefully should deal with issues about transversal services and applications such as Convergence Digital, Electronic, Mobile and Ubiquitous Applications. They should be oriented towards community and cultural enhancement, to build knowledge and skills for work, to improve work quality, citizenship participation as well as consumer choice.

In particular, EATIS 2008 encourages the use of Information System (IS) and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), allowing citizens a better participation at various levels of government and public services, as well as the ethics component in the use of services and technologies related to IS and ICT.


PUBLICATIONS OF PAPERS

All accepted papers will be published in the EATIS'2008 ACM-DL Proceedings with ISBN # 978-1-59593-988-3 and will be published at ACM Digital Library (ACM-DL).

Authors of 30% best papers in English will be invited to submit extended papers, which will be further peer-reviewed for potential inclusion in special issues of international journals Journal of Mobile Multimedia (JMM), International Journal of Web Information Systems (IJWIS), and Journal of Theoretical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research (JTAER).

In the same way, authors of 30% best papers in Portuguese or Spanish will be invited to IEEE Latin America Transactions and IEEE RITA - Revista Iberoamericana de Tecnologías del Aprendizaje (Latin-American Learning Technologies Electronic Journal).


FACILITy TO AUTHORS FROM ECONOMICALLY DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

EATIS.org – Euro American Association on Telematics and Information Systems offers 10 Invited Papers (free registration) for first authors that residing in economically developing countries. Selection of the Invited Papers will be done according to the score order obtained in the submission process.

Cofundos, a Web 2.0 like proposal

AKSW develop a new proposal for colaborative sharing of innovation and development within the open-source software area. This can be the first of a kind for collaborative sharing that can have some impact on open-knowledge, open-source and web collaboration in general.

Cofundos.org is about revealing bright ideas regarding the development of open-source software and attracting a critical mass for their realization: http://www.cofundos.org

The main idea of Cofundos.org is to share innovative (open-source) ideas, to refine them and to mobilize funding for their realization.
