Concept
The conference will have two main streams:
- Selected presentations and posters from the open call for research papers and invited sessions. They will be introduced with keynote presentations from industry and academia.
- Accepted workshops, focused sessions and tutorials aim to bring together users and experts in interactive sessions to discuss specific topics. The chair and co-chairs of each will organise selected contributions (presentations and/or demonstrations) in order to stimulate the debate.
As always at ICE, social networking is a priority and excellent facilities will be provided to establish new and maintain existing contacts. Social events and networking opportunities are open for conference participants and accompanying persons upon registration.
The Conference Chairs are Prof. Dr. Klaus Sailer and Prof. Dr. Bernhard Katzy
