CALL FOR PAPERS ===========

The 2nd IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SIGNAL IMAGE TECHNOLOGY & INTERNET BASED SYSTEMS http://www.u-bourgogne.fr/SITIS/06/index.html

Track II - Web-based Information Technologies and Distributed Systems

17 - 21 December 2006, Hammamet, Tunisia

Keynote Speaker ========== Prof. Aris M. Ouksel, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA

DESCRIPTION AND LIST OF TOPICS ====================== This track focuses on emerging and novel concepts, architectures and methodologies for information management. The Internet and the related technologies have created an interconnected world in which information can be exchanged easily, tasks can be processed collaboratively, communities of users with similarly interests can be formed to achieve efficiency and improve performance, while security threats are present more than ever before. This track will present an opportunity for researchers working in these different domains to get together and share recent developments and techniques in order to identify the critical problems and the most promising research avenues.

We solicit original research papers in all areas of web-based information technologies and distributed systems with a special interest in the following topics:

* Information System Interoperability Digital Libraries Semantic Interoperability and Semantic Mediators Ontologies interoperability Cooperative Database Systems and Workflow Management Agent-oriented architectures for database interoperability Data interoperability issues in advanced applications

* Agent-based systems Agents for Distributed Systems Agent-based Approaches for Web Applications Security of Systems using Agents Agents for Grid Computing Solutions Intelligent Agents for P2P Computing Agent-oriented Software Engineering and methodologies Ontologies and Agent systems Agents Support for Applications (e-commerce, e-Gov, ..)

* Emergent semantics Context-Dependent Semantics Contextual Reasoning in Distributed Ontologies Communication in Multi-Agents Systems Emergent Semantic Interoperability in Large-Scale Systems Emergent Semantics in Content Retrieval Systems Semantics for Trust Management

* Distributed, Parallel, GRID, P2P, Mobile information management Information Sharing Clusters/Data Grids/P2P computing and applications Knowledge and Semantic Grid Semantics Of Peer Data Management Systems Mobile Systems and Computing Distributed Trust Models, Architectures and Algorithms Resources Allocation and Management Reputation Information Management Mobile Data Management and Mobile Database Systems * Web-Centric Systems Semantic Web/Web services Web Services and Service Computing Composition and integration of Web services Web engineering/mining/searching and crawling E-Commerce and E-Learning Security and integrity issues for the Web Web usability and accessibility Formal methods for Web applications

IMPORTANT DATES ============ * Abstract submission deadline: September 01, 2006 * Submission deadline: September 09, 2006 * Acceptance/rejection notification: October 15, 2006 * Final version of papers: November 03, 2006

SUIBMISSION GUIDELINES ================ Submissions must be in electronic form as PDF or PS files and should be uploaded through the SITIS 2006 Web site. Electronic abstract submission is required. Submissions should be of length 3000-4000 words (approx. 8-12 double-space printed pages). Papers that fail to comply with length limit will be rejected. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 2 qualified reviewers. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. Preference will be given to submissions that take strong or challenging positions on important emergent topics. At least one author should attend the conference to present the paper.

A selection of high quality papers will be invited to submit extended and enhanced versions of their papers to the upcoming special issue of an international journal.
