8th European Conference on e-Government, Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne, Switzerland,10-11 July 2008

8th European Conference on e-Government

Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne, Switzerland

10-11 July 2008

Conference Chair: Matthias Finger, EPFL, Switzerland

Programme Chair: to be confirmed

Keynote Speaker: to be confirmed

The European Conference on e-Government (ECEG) has become, over the years, the premier place for critically discussing the latest research in matters of electronic government and electronic governance more generally. I am very pleased to host the 8th Annual ECEG Conference at EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale, Lausanne or Swiss Federal institute of Technology) in July 2008, and to contribute to furthering our knowledge in this rapidly evolving field.

Even though less than 40 years old, EPFL is now, as you may know, ranked among the world’s top 30 Universities, leading, among others, in the areas of information and communications. You may also already know EPFL for its global exexcutive master in electronic governance (e-gov). It is a research heavy institution with approximately 6500 students and 20% of them pursuing a PhD. EPFL also has a very nice campus located just outside of Lausanne on lake Geneva with a magnificient view on the Swiss and French alps. Participants to our conference may want to add a day or two for tourism. Lausanne is connected to Geneva airport by a short train ride of 40 minutes, and Geneva airport is one of Europe’s most prominent low cost destinations.

It is a pleasure to welcome you all to EPFL in July 2008.

Third International Mobile Multimedia Communications Conference (August 27-29,Nafpaktos)

Third International Mobile Multimedia Communications Conference
The successful development of multimedia services and applications in mobile environments requires adopting an interdisciplinary approach where both multimedia and networking issues are addressed jointly. Multimedia semantic characteristics, Human Interpretation of audiovisual information, extraction and usage of semantic information, coding standards and its interaction with networking, mobility and security protocols are research issues that need to be carefully examined when proposing new solutions. Many are the applications that will be enabled by the new standards for mobile networking, such as triple services for mobile networks, digital television, video streaming, interactive gaming, navigation services, context aware services, and immersive communications in virtual environments. The efficient delivery of multimedia applications and services over emerging diverse and heterogeneous wireless networks is a challenging research objective. The research effort for the 3G/4G vision of interworking among heterogeneous technologies to achieve multimedia session continuity, retain multimedia QoS characteristics etc., amplifies the need to evaluate the conditions and restrictions under which delivery of such services can be accomplished. Within this scope, MobiMedia is intended to provide a unique international forum for researchers from industry and academia, working in multimedia coding, and mobile networking fields to study new applications, solutions, and standards. Original unpublished contributions are solicited that can improve the knowledge and practice in the integrated design of efficient technologies and the relevant provision of advanced mobile multimedia applications.

The annual IEEE International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (ICTAI)

The annual IEEE International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (ICTAI) provides a major international forum where the creation and exchange of ideas relating to artificial intelligence are fostered among academia, industry, and government agencies. The conference facilitates the cross-fertilization of these ideas and promotes their transfer into practical tools, for developing intelligent systems and pursuing artificial intelligence applications. The ICTAI encompasses all the technical aspects of specifying, developing, and evaluating the theoretical underpinnings and applied mechanisms of AI tools.
