Dear Dawid Nowak: As you know, Murray Gell-Mann, who received the Nobel Prize in physics in 1969, affirms that: "it is vitally important that we supplement our specialized studies with serious attempts to take a crude look at the whole." In the context of Information Systems (IS), specialized studies, practice, and research in Software Engineering might be of vital importance in taking a look at the whole IS field, and vice versa. Accordingly, one of the main purposes of organizing The International Symposium on Information Systems and Software Engineering: ISSE 2011 (www.2011iiisconferences.org/isse) is to provide a forum to suplement specialized studies and research in software engineering, and in specific areas of Information Systems, "with serious attempts to take a look at the whole" by means of potential interdisciplinary communication in a multi-disciplinary forum. Consequently, submissions and contributions to ISSE 2011 can be made in the context of 1) specific specialized disciplinary areas, 2) multi-disciplinary projects and methodologies, 3) inter-disciplinary thinking and acting, and 4) crude looks at the whole that includes Software Engineering, Information Systems, Soft-Systems Engineering, and Informing Science/Engineering. ISSE 2011 is being organized in the context of The 2nd International Conference on Engineering and Meta-Engineering: ICEME 2011 (www.2011iiisconferences.org/iceme) to be held on March 27th - 30th, 2011 in Orlando, Florida, USA, and collocated with The 2nd International Multi-Conference on Complexity, Informatics and Cybernetics: IMCIC 2011 (www.2011iiisconferences.org/imcic) The deadlines are the following (Check the web site for possible extensions or new set of deadlines): Papers/Abstracts Submission and Invited Session Proposals: Jan 14th, 2011 Authors Notifications: Feb 7th, 2011 Camera-ready, full papers: Feb 22nd, 2011 Submissions for Face-to-Face or for Virtual Participation are both accepted. Both kinds of submissions will have the same two-tier reviewing process: non-blind and double-blind reviewing. Accepted papers will be included in the same (printed and CD versions of the) proceedings. A best paper will be selected for each session, and the best 20% of the papers presented at the symposium will also be published in the Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics, and Informatics Registration fees will be waived for *effective* invited session organizers. Details regarding the double-tier reviewing process, acceptance policy, selections of keynote speakers, best papers, and their publication in the Journal of Systemic, Cybernetics, and Informatics, can be found at the symposium web site, and resumed in the page titled "About the Symposium" Best regards, ISSE 2011 Organizing Committee If you wish to be removed from this mailing list, please send an email to remove@mail.2011iiisconferences.org with REMOVE MLCONFERENCES in the subject line.
