Conference Themes

ETI
The 11th Annual European Concurrent Engineering Conference 2004 is structured around ten major topics. There will be parallel lecture sessions and also poster sessions. Papers suitable for poster presentations are those that require interactive discussion; otherwise, poster and lecture presentations carry equal weight. The preliminary programme can be viewed here.

The conference language is English.

Special student/university tutorials are organized on request.

Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers reporting original work in all areas of Concurrent Engineering. Submissions for regular sessions (lecture or poster) include, but not limited to, the following topics:
