The Montreal Conference on eTechnologies 2005 (MCETECH2005)

The Internet	pervades much of the activities of modern societies and has become the preferred medium for the delivery of information and services. All kinds of applications, ranging from eBusiness, to eEducation or eGovernment, raise some of the same issues: the need for an open, yet secure, flexible, yet high-performance, and inter-operable, yet customizable infrastructure. The technologies of the day provide much of the software plumbing required to make it all work, but little of the software and methodological tools needed to build complex, end to end, inter-organizational applications, i.e. the sort of domain-independent, semantic middleware for the internet! MCETECH2005 aims at bringing together researchers, practitioners, and decision makers to exchange on the state of the art and the practice, and to develop strategies to address the challenges ahead!
