CALL FOR SPECIAL
TRACKS
The increasing volumes and dimensions of information
have dramatic impact on effective decision-making. To remedy this
situation, Information Reuse and
Integration (IRI) seeks to maximize the reuse of information by
creating simple, rich, and reusable knowledge representations and
consequently explores strategies for integrating this knowledge into legacy
systems. IRI plays a pivotal role in the capture, representation,
maintenance, integration, validation, and extrapolation of information; and
applies both information and knowledge for enhancing decision-making in
various application domains. This conference explores three major tracks:
information reuse, information integration, and reusable systems.
Information reuse considers optimizing representation methodologies;
information integration studies strategies for creatively applying models
in novel domains; and reusable systems focus on ontological opportunities for
deploying models and corresponding processes.
The IEEE IRI conference serves
as a forum for researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and
government to present, discuss, and exchange ideas that address real-world
problems with real-world solutions. The conference feature contributed and
invited papers. Theoretical and applied papers are both included. The
conference program will include special sessions, open forum workshops, and
keynote speeches. A forum will be conducted with the intent of bridging IRI
and Systems of Systems and why the future of intelligent computing -
including computing applications - will lie at the juxtaposition of these
two topical areas.
IEEE IRI 2009 organizers solicit
proposals for special tracks to be organized by active researchers and
experts in Information Reuse and Integration. An ideal special track should
target to bring together researchers and practitioners in special focused
topics in Information Reuse and Integration. Papers submitted to special
tracks will
be peer-reviewed by following the same criteria used for the papers
submitted to the main conference, and will be published in the same
conference proceedings. An ideal special track will include at least 4
accepted papers to be presented in one session at the conference. Special
track proposals should include the track title, a brief description of the
scope and relevance to information Reuse and Integration, and brief
biographies of the special track organizers. As experts in the field,
organizers are also encouraged to submit a list of potential authors who
might submit papers to the special track.
Interested
experts are invited to submit their proposals to the special tracks chairs:
