With a population of about 300.000, it is the country's second most important city in terms of economic output and cultural influence. Porto made its name over two centuries ago because of its connection with the Porto wine industry. It was elected as "Porto 2001: European Capital of Culture" and recently designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage City, a fitting recognition not only for its granite sculpted beauty, but also for the unforgettable panorama of its historic centre with narrow streets and typical houses arrayed like a cascade right down to the river, and for its passionate history which determined the country's destiny. The city's symbols are the "Rabelo" boat, which can still be found docked on the banks of the river, the baroque Clérigos Tower (built by the Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni) and the century-old iron bridges, one of them designed by Gustave Eiffel. Porto is also at the heart of a knowledge and business intensive region, offering several universities and research institutes, which stimulate a strong connection with industry, the service sector and IT enterprises. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____ SECRETARIAT ICEIS-2004 Secretariat Rua Vale Chaves, EST, Campus IPS Estefanilha, 2910-761 Setúbal - Portugal E-mail for paper submission and proceedings: [log in to unmask] Web: http://www.iceis.org/ ____________________________________________________________________________ _____ DETAILED TOPIC LIST: Each of the topic areas is expanded below but the sub-topics list is not exhaustive.
