Abstract

The purpose of the 9th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (ICEIS) is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested in the advances and business applications of information systems&#046; Five simultaneous tracks will be held, covering different aspects of Enterprise Information Systems Applications, including Enterprise Database Technology, Systems Integration, Artificial Intelligence, Decision Support Systems, Information Systems Analysis and Specification, Internet Computing, Electronic Commerce and Human Factors&#046;<br>ICEIS focuses on real world applications; therefore authors should highlight the benefits of Information Technology for industry and services&#046; Ideas on how to solve business problems, using IT, will arise from the conference&#046; Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques and general survey papers indicating future directions are also encouraged&#046; Papers describing original work are invited in any of the areas listed below&#046; Accepted papers, presented at the conference by one of the authors, will be published in the Proceedings of ICEIS&#046; Acceptance will be based on quality, relevance and originality&#046; Both full research reports and work&#8211;in&#8211;progress reports are welcome&#046; There will be both oral and poster sessions&#046;<br>While RFID provides promising benefits such as inventory visibility and business process automation, some significant challenges need to be overcome before these benefits can be realized&#046; One important issue is how to process and manage RFID data, which is typically in large volume, noisy and unreliable, time&#8211;dependent, dynamically changing, and of varying ownership&#046; Another issue is how to seamlessly integrate low&#8211;level RFID data into (existing) enterprise information infrastructures (e&#046;g&#046;, upper&#8211;level business processes)&#046; Finally, given the ability of inexpensively tagging and thus monitoring a large number of items and/or people, RFID raises some serious security and privacy concerns&#046; Indeed, RFID privacy and security are stimulating research areas that involve rich interplay among many disciplines, like signal processing, hardware design, supply&#8211;chain logistics, privacy rights, and cryptography&#046;<br><b>Keywords:</b> 1&#046; Databases and Information Systems Integration 2&#046; Artificial Intelligence and Decision Support Systems 3&#046; Information Systems Analysis and Specification 4&#046; Software Agents and Internet Computing 5&#046; Human&#8211;Computer Interaction<br>
