CALL FOR PARTICIPATION IEEE IRI 2012 13th IEEE International Conference on Information Reuse and Integration 8-10 August 2012 Las Vegas, USA http://www.sis.pitt.edu/~iri2012/

~~IRI 2012 HIGHLIGHTS~~ We have an exciting program designed to appeal to researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government. It includes: * Three keynote talks * Panels * Four special Sessions: power and energy, robotics, energy and education

* Presentations of research papers * Four Workshops: Social Computing, Data Integration and Mining, Recognizing Inference in Text, and Health Informatics * Banquet

~~KEYNOTE SPEAKERS~~ Lotfi A. Zadeh Professor in the Graduate School, Computer Science Division Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences Director of Berkeley Initiative in Soft Computing (BISC) University of California Berkeley, USA Title: Outline of a Restriction-Centered Theory of Reasoning and Computation in an Environment of Uncertainty and Imprecision

Christopher Terence John Dodson Emeritus Professor of Mathematics School of Mathematics Manchester Institute for Mathematical Sciences University of Manchester Manchester, UK Title: Information neighborhoods for visualization and monitoring strategies of real stochastic behavior trajectories: computational aspects

Guy Paillet Founder & Senior Researcher at CogniMem Technologies Inc. Partner at Norlitech LLC Co-founder at General Vision Inc. Title: Knowledge synthesizing and reusing by cognitive computing Moving beyond "prescriptive programming" and Von Neumann

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. This conference explores three major tracks: information reuse, information integration, and reusable systems. Information reuse explores theory and practice of optimizing representation; information integration focuses on innovative strategies and algorithms for applying integration approaches in novel domains; and reusable systems focus on developing and deploying models and corresponding processes that enable Information Reuse and Integration to play a pivotal role in enhancing decision-making processes in various application domains. The conference includes, but is not limited to, the areas listed below: * Large Scale Data and System Integration * Component-Based Design and Reuse * Unifying Data Models (UML, XML, etc.) and Ontologies * Database Integration * Structured/Semi-structured Data * Middleware & Web Services * Reuse in Software Engineering * Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery * Sensory and Information Fusion * Reuse in Modeling & Simulation * Automation, Integration and Reuse Across Applications * Information Security & Privacy * Survivable Systems & Infrastructures * AI & Decision Support Systems; Heuristic Optimization and Search * Knowledge Acquisition and Management * Fuzzy and Neural Systems * Soft/Evolutionary Computing * Case-Based Reasoning * Natural Language Understanding * Knowledge Management and E-Government * Command & Control Systems (C4ISR) * Human-Machine Information Systems * Biomedical & Healthcare Systems * Homeland Security & Critical Infrastructure Protection * Manufacturing Systems & Business Process Engineering * Space and Robotic Systems * Multimedia Systems * Service-Oriented Architectures * Autonomous Agents in Web-based Systems * Information Integration in Grid, Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing Environment * Systems of Systems * Semantic Web and Emerging Applications * Information Reuse, Integration and Sharing in Collaborative Environments

If you plan to attend, please hurry up on travel arrangements. The discounted conference rate is available at the Tuscany Suites & Casino (http://www.tuscanylv.com/). Information on the conference program and registration is available at: http://www.sis.pitt.edu/~iri2012/
