Dear Colleague, as the First International Workshop on Free/Open Source EIS/ERP organizer, I would like to invite you to submit a paper to it. This event is the first one, of international dimension, dedicated to free/open source EIS/ERP and will be held in parallel to the IFIP TC8 International Conference on Research and Practical Issues of Enterprise Information Systems 2006 (CONFENIS 2006). We expect papers from both academicians and practitioners, in all subjects related to Enterprise Information Systems and Enterprise Resources Planning. Authors that do not focus their work specifically in free/open source software can submit to Confenis 2006. Elsevier will publish proceedings of both events and best papers will be also published by top ranking IEEE and ACM periodicals. More information is available at http://www.confenis.org. About the IFIP: The IFIP (International Federation for Information Processing) was created in 1960 under the auspicious of UNESCO; it aggregates the main computer societies worldwide, including the ACM and IEEE. It is responsible for the realization of top ranking conferences like IFIP/W3C/ACM International World Wide Web Conference and IEEE/ACM/IFIP International Conference on Hardware/Software Codesign & System Synthesis. More information about IFIP is available at http://www.ifip.or.at/ About the IFIP TC8: The IFIP Technical Committee 8 Information Systems is divided in many subcommittees, each one for a specific IS area: · WG 8.1 Design and Evaluation of Information Systems · WG 8.2 Interaction of Information Systems and the Organization · WG 8.3 Decision Support Systems · WG 8.4 E-Business: Multi-disciplinary research and practice · WG 8.5 Information Systems in Public Administration · WG 8.6 Transfer and Diffusion of Information Technology · WG 8.8 Smart Cards At http://ifiptc8.itu.dk/ more information can be found about the IFIP TC8.
