ICINCO-2005 will be held in Barcelona, Spain next year, on September
14-17. The deadline for paper submission is February 25. We provide a
web-based submission procedure, which is an easy and user-friendly way
to submit your paper.

Please check further details at the conference web site
(http://www.icinco.org) to see whether any of the tracks of
ICINCO-2005 interests you.  If you would like to propose the
organization a tutorial, a workshop or a special session to be held in
conjunction with ICINCO 2005, please consult the guidelines at the
website.  Information about dates and main topic areas is provided
below.

All the accepted papers will be published in the conference
proceedings under an ISBN. Furthermore, we will have the best papers
of the conference published in a book, by Kluwer Academic Publishers.

We are also inquiring with some journals about the possibility to
publish extended versions of selected ICINCO-2005 papers.


Looking forward to receiving a paper submission from you. Don't
hesitate contacting me should you have any questions.

Best regards,
Marina Carvalho
ICINCO Secretariat
