                            CALL FOR PAPERS (revised)
             Asian Enterprise Open Source Conference 2003
                   October 29th-31st, 2003 Singapore


This annual conference and expo aims to draw world-renowned experts in
the
exciting field of Open Source Software and showcase the state-of-the-art
of Open Source Computing in the IT hub of South-East Asia, Singapore.

AEOSC follows the success of the Singapore Linux Conference, held in
1999,
2000, and 2001.  This year, with the global recognition of Linux and
Open
Source Software in general, we have broadened the range of issues we
plan
to cover.

In this fourth edition, the conference will focus on the growth of Open
Source Software as a broadly available, trusted, secure, low-cost and
non-proprietary enterprise class software.
