The 2005 IFIP conference on Intelligence in Communication Systems (INTELLCOMM 2005) is jointly sponsored by IFIP WG 6.7: Smart Networks and WG 6.4: Internet Applications Engineering. The main objective of INTELLCOMM 2005 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 and Intelligent Service Application Interface and Intelligent Human Interaction.
 

Scope

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, and the third will outline research plans and proposals. Topics include, but are not limited to:

Submissions Types

Only original papers related to the conference topics and not published elsewhere will be accepted. All paper submissions will be carefully reviewed by at least three experts and returned to the author(s) with comments to ensure the high quality of accepted papers.

The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference. At least one author of each accepted paper must be duly registered for the conference in order for the paper to appear in the proceedings and be scheduled in the conference program.

Full Papers

Authors are invited to submit a full paper of up to ten (10) pages including figures, tables, references and annexes. The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer in the KAP IFIP series. A special issue featuring the best papers is planned as well.  Please refer to the paper specification section for detailed instructions on how to properly format your document.

Tutorials

Proposals for half-day technical tutorials related to INTELLCOMM technologies or the use of these technologies in the above fields are solicited.

Questions regarding submissions will be answered by the Tutorial Chair:

Michel Barbeau (barbeau@scs.carleton.ca)

Note that all correspondence will take place by email.

Paper Specifications

Papers must be written in English and should follow the KAP IFIP style as described in the instruction for author's document available in Adobe Acrobat (.PDF) format.  Alternatively, you may use the template file available in MS Word (.DOC) and LaTeX format.

Your document can submitted be in either PDF (Adobe Acrobat), PS (PostScript) or DOC (MS Word) format.

Submission Procedures

INTELLCOMM 2005 is using the COMMENCE Conference Management System to manage the paper submission process.

In order to submit a paper, you must first create an account on the submission website located at http://www.larim.polymtl.ca/intellcomm/. COMMENCE will then e-mail you your password.
