The Conference

Since the early 1990s the European Society for CE has been actively involved in bringing together leading academics, researchers and practitioners in a common forum to stimulate the exchange of ideas, views and latest developments in the field of Concurrent Engineering.
ICE Conference has become a proactive knowledge community (http://www.esoce.net) and a lively and engaging meeting place for leaders in innovation in this domain.
Eversince its conception, this event has evolved and grown in terms of numbers of papers presented, quality of proceedings, and countries represented. Since 2011 it is accredited by both IEEE and ACM. The progress of development continues. The 2012 innovation is the involvment of Editors from academic journals who joined the ICE community.

ICE Conference is unique for its

• well established international character

• good balance between industrial and academic participation

• presentations and discussions on leading edge research results

   

Concurrent Enterprising - CE

The term Concurrent Enterprising is an amalgam which brings together the paradigms of Concurrent Engineering and Extended/Virtual Enterprising: The Concurrent Enterprise is a distributed, temporary alliance of independent, co-operating manufacturers, customers and suppliers using systematic approaches, methods and advanced technologies for increasing efficiency in the design and manufacturing of products and services by means of concurrency, parallelism, integration, standardisation, team work and more for achieving common goals on global markets.

Innovation is our Tradition

Since the early 1990s the European Society for CE has been actively involved in bringing together leading academics, researchers and practitioners in a common forum so as to stimulate the exchange of ideas, views and latest research and developments in the field of Concurrent Engineering and Extended Enterprising. For many years, ICE has become a proactive knowledge community (www.ESoCE.net) and a lively and engaging meeting place for thought leaders in the domain of Concurrent Enterprising.
Since inception this event has evolved and grown in terms of size, nature, number of papers presented quality of papers and presentations, quality of proceedings and countries represented. Compared to other events in the domain, ICE is unique for its good balance between industrial and academic participation and the multi-national character of the event.
