Call for Papers |
EMMSEC 99, the ninth in a series
of Annual Conferences, will highlight new developments and business
opportunities in the areas of electronic commerce, multimedia,
technologies for business processes and embedded systems. EMMSEC
is supported by the European Commission and has become a significant
European event with the 1998 meeting in Bordeaux attracting nearly
400 delegates and over 50 exhibitors. As usual there will be
several parallel streams, an exhibition and social events including
a partners' programme. The content will deal with new technologies,
their convergence, applications, business systems, commercial
opportunities and potential benefits, particularly as regards
smaller businesses. The conference language is English and abstracts
may be for individual papers or offers to arrange complete sessions. |
Abstracts for Papers or Sessions
Abstracts, of up to 300 words, should be sent by post or email
- please not both - before 30 November 1998 to the address below.
(There will be separate, later call for Exhibitors)

The abstract heading should state the title of the paper and
the principal author's name, organisation, address, telephone,
fax and email. For submissions by email, please use EMMSEC99
followed by your surname, as the subject. In the case of joint
authors, communications will be with the first named author,
who will be assumed to be the presenter unless you inform us
otherwise. |
Presentation and Publication
EMMSEC 99 is likely to follow the same format as EMMSEC 98 with
presentations being allowed twenty minutes, including questions,
and papers given up to eight pages in the published book of the
proceedings. However, this obviously depends on the number of
papers submitted and accepted. The International Programme Committee
will review abstracts and the draft papers. Technical and plenary
papers will be professionally published as a book which each
delegate will receive on the opening day and which will subsequently
be marketed throughout the industrialised world. Copyright will
remain with the authors but papers will not be presented or published
unless presenters have registered for the conference and paid
the delegate fee. The conference takes place in the city of Stockholm
and the fee will be 550 Ecus or less (EMMSEC 98 was 500 Ecus).
Authors will qualify for at least ten per cent off the full fee.Technical
and plenary papers will be professionally published in book form
which will be issued on the opening day. This requires the following
time scale
