Tracks Call for Special Tracks

WETICE2022 is cancelled, and will resume next year in Paris as WETICE2023.

The International Conference on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE) is an international forum for state-of-the-art research in enabling technologies for collaboration, consisting of a number of related conference tracks. The 27th WETICE edition will be held from June 29th, 2022 to July 1st, 2022 in Stuttgart, Germany. The longevity of WETICE demonstrates its undeniable success in the scientific and academic community. A unique program is being prepared to celebrate this anniversary. The conference proceedings will be included into IEEE Xplore and will be submitted for indexing through INSPEC, Scopus, Compendex, Thomson Reuters, DBLP, Google Scholar and EI Index.

Special tracks are self-contained and self-managed. Over the past years WETICE hosted tracks on a variety of topics such as adaptive computing, collaborative software processes, collaborative modeling & simulation, service-oriented architectures and cloud computing, autonomic green computing, collaborative verification and validation of systems and services, dynamic network management, collaboration tools for cultural heritage and collaborative web knowledge.

The conference organizing committee solicits proposals for organizing and hosting tracks. Prospective track chairs should submit a proposal for organizing a track. It should include the following items:

  • The title
  • Proposers' names with affiliation
  • Description of the track including reasons for including it in WETICE
  • Plan for attracting papers
  • Duration of the track: half a day, one day, two days

All proposals will be reviewed by the WETICE Steering Committee for quality, fitting, feasibility of attracting papers and attendees. The Committee reserves the right to accept a proposal as is, require modifications, recommend merging with another track that covers similar topics or reject a proposal altogether. Upon acceptance of a proposal, the track chairs will be notified of their responsibilities in managing their track, according to what defined by both IEEE and WETICE conference rules.
