The International<br>Conference on Enterprise Systems (ES) has been held every year since 2013.<br>The sixth in the series will be held at St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus,<br>1-2 October, 2018. The conference is hosted by the Department of Computer<br>Science, University of Cyprus.<br><br>This conference series is focusing on both the technical and application<br>aspects of enterprise systems, the complex and cross-disciplinary<br>problems of enterprise integration, and the new technological frontiers<br>such as Industrial Integration, Industrial Information Integration, and<br>Industry 4.0. The objectives of the conference are to provide high quality<br>research and professional interactions for the advancement of science<br>and technology. The main features of the conference include Keynote<br>Speeches, Regular and Special Sessions. It has been highlighted by the<br>IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society: <a href="http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=c2NlLmNhcmxldG9uLmNhICwJCQlmZy1hcmNAbGlzdHMudW5pLXBhZGVyYm9ybi5kZQlUaGUgNnRoIEludGVybmF0aW9uYWwgQ29uZmVyZW5jZSBvbiBFbnRlcnByaXNlIFN5c3RlbXMgKEVTIDIwMTgpOiBMYXN0IE1pbGUgZm9yIFBhcGVyIFN1Ym1pc3Npb25zCTI1MAlMaXN0cwkxNTAJY2xpY2sJeWVzCW5v&url=http%3A%2F%2Fieeesmc.org%2F">http://ieeesmc.org/</a> .<br><br><br><b><u>SCOPE</u></b><br><br>We welcome original and survey articles about the latest advances of<br>technology.
