CALL FOR PAPERS
===============

The 2004 IFIP International Conference on
Intelligence in Communication Systems
(INTELLCOMM 2004)

23 - 26 November 2004, Bangkok, Thailand

http://intellcomm2004.ait.ac.th


Background
----------
The Internet and Web provide more connection facilities, hence the
interactions between man-man, man-machine and machine-machine will increase
and communication will have an important role in modern systems. In order to
obtain effective and efficient communication, artistic, social and technical
issues have to be tackled in a holistic and integrated manner.
Unfortunately, communication techniques, concepts and solutions which have
been developed so far treat these issues separately, so that there arises a
need for communication researchers and practitioners in different fields
(engineering, science and arts) to meet, share their experience and explore
all  possibilities of developing integrated and advanced solutions which
incorporate ideas from such disciplines as communication arts, art design,
linguistics, Web technologies, telecommunications, computer science and
artificial intelligence.

Call for Papers
---------------
The 2004 IFIP conference on Intelligence in Communication Systems
(INTELLCOMM '04) is jointly sponsored by IFIP WG 6.7: Smart Networks and WG
6.4: Internet Applications Engineering. The conference will be held at
Shinawatra University, Bangkok, Thailand during 23-27 November 2004. Its
main objective is to provide an international forum which brings academia,
researchers, practitioners and service providers together. The discussion
areas will cover the latest research topics and advanced technological
solutions in the area of Intelligent Communication Systems, ranging from
Architectures for Adaptable Networks and Services and Semantic Web and Web
Service Technologies to Applications, Information Management, and Security

The conference will involve the three distinct meetings: tutorial, technical
and poster sessions. The first will cover both theoretical and practical
aspects of selected topics, the second will present papers on the latest
research results highlighting the state of the art in all aspects of
intelligent communication systems, the third will outline research plans and
proposals.


Paper Submission and Reviewing Process
--------------------------------------
Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers dealing with original
work which, at the time of submission, is not under review or has not been
published or accepted for publication in a Journal or by another conference.

Papers must be written in English, not exceed 16 pages and conform to the
formatting instructions of LNCS, Springer Verlag
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Only electronic submission
(PDF format) is accepted via the conference Web site:
http://intellcomm2004.ait.ac.th

Each paper will be submitted to at least three reviewers. Based on their
recommendations, the paper will be classified into: full paper, short paper
and poster. Full and short paper will appear in the main proceedings in
LNCS: Lecture Notes in Computer Science series
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html). Posters will be published in
separate proceedings.

Best paper awards will also be conferred on the authors of the best papers
at the conference. Selected INTELLCOMM'04 papers will be expanded and
revised for inclusion in Computer Networks Journal
(http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/comnet), Special Issues on Intelligence in
Communication Systems by Elsevier or in Journal on Computer Processing of
Oriental Languages (http://www.worldscinet.com/ijcpol/ijcpol.shtml).
