=============== CALL FOR PAPERS ===============
NGITS 2006 6th International Workshop on Next Generation Information Technologies and Systems July 4-6, 2006 Kibbutz Shefayim, Israel http://mis.haifa.ac.il/~ngits
NGITS 2006 is the sixth workshop in a series that was launched in 1993 to promote research on new technologies in information systems. Information on the previous five NGITS workshops may be found at http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/ngits/index.html.
The NGITS workshop is a 3-day event that combines keynote addresses, presentations of research papers, discussion panels, technical demonstrations, and social events.
Authors are invited to submit papers that describe original research results ("research papers"). In addition, authors may submit papers that outline new viewpoints and challenges ("vision papers"), or describe the implementation or deployment of a novel technology in an actual setting ("experience papers"). Submissions may be either full papers or extended abstracts. Proposals for panels and demonstrations are also solicited.
Proceedings of the workshop will be published in Springer-Verlag's LNCS series, and will be distributed to all participants at the conference.
======================================= 1. OVERALL THEME AND TOPICS OF INTEREST =======================================
We solicit papers on all aspects of information systems. Of particular interest are works that combine multiple disciplines of computer science to develop new technologies for information systems. To illustrate the scope of NGITS, a list of topics is given below, but note that submissions are not limited to these topics.
- Information systems design and development - Agent based information systems - Workflow management - Information integration - Cooperative information systems - Information quality - Information security and privacy - Data warehousing and OLAP - Data mining and knowledge discovery - Information retrieval, filtering, and extraction - Knowledge management and ontologies - The semantic web - Web services - Semi-structured data - User interfaces to information and information visualization - New challenges for database technology (e.g., multimedia information, biological information) - Information systems for specific domains (e.g., health, education, commerce, government)
