A conference on information systems in Florida

Dear James Castagnera:

We would like invite you to participate in The 9th International Conference on Education and Information Systems, Technologies and Applications: EISTA 2011 (www.2011conferences.org/eista), to be held in Orlando, Florida, USA, on July 19th - July 22nd, 2011.

The deadline of paper/abstract submission and invited session proposals (for this CFP) is *April 20th, 2011*. The deadlines for notification to authors and camera ready upload can be found at the conference web site.

Deadlines for the collocated (same venue and time) conferences and symposia can be found at www.iiisconferences.info/deadlines. (Check the web site for possible extension of the submission deadline).

With the purpose of fostering *Inter-disciplinary Communications* participants registered at any conference or symposia can attend sessions of any session of any of the collocated events. Registered participants will also receive a CD containing the proceedings of all collocated events, and will have a password to access any virtual session of the collocated events, so they can comment any paper presented at any of the collocated events.

Submissions for Face-to-Face or for Virtual Participation are both accepted. Both kinds of submissions will have the same reviewing process and the accepted papers will be included in the same proceedings.

All Submitted papers/abstracts will go through three reviewing processes: (1) double-blind (at least three reviewers), (2) non-blind, and (3) participative peer reviews. These three kinds of review will support the selection process of those papers/abstracts that will be accepted for their presentation at the conference, as well as those to be selected for their publication in JSCI Journal.

Pre-Conference and Post-conference Virtual sessions (via electronic forums) will be held for each session included in the conference program, so that sessions papers can be read before the conference, and authors presenting at the same session can interact during one week before and after the conference. Authors can also participate in peer-to-peer reviewing in virtual sessions.

Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers/abstracts, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers. Non-registered authors will not have access to the reviews of their respective submissions.

Registration fees of an effective invited session organizer will be waived according to the policy described in the web page (click on 'Invited Session', then on 'Benefits for the Organizers of Invited Sessions'), where you can get information about the ten benefits for an invited session organizer. For Invited Sessions Proposals, please visit the conference web site, or directly to http://www.2011conferences.org/eista/organizer.asp

A best paper will be selected for each session, and an award certificate will be delivered in the award ceremony to the respective presenting author. Authors of the best 10%-20% of the papers presented at the conference (included those virtually presented) will be invited to adapt their papers for their publication in the Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics. (All papers to be presented at the conference will be included in the conference proceedings)

Best regards,

EISTA 2011 Organizing Committee
