All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, in paper and in CD-ROM support. Additionaly, a selection of the best papers of the conference will be published in a book, by Springer. Best paper awards will also be distributed during the ICINCO-2007 conference.

ICINCO 2007 will be held in Angers, France next year, on May 9-12. The deadline for paper submission is January 10. Angers is a beautiful city located in the Loire valley (the valley of chateaux), 1 hour away from Paris by TGV.

Please check further details at the conference web site (http://www.icinco.org). There you will find detailed information about the conference topic areas. There you will also find information about ICINCO satellite workshops that may interest you. Special sessions are also invited. If you wish to propose a special session, please contact the secretariat.
