The 14th IEEE Intl. Conference on Information Reuse and Integration (IEEE Sponsorship Pending)

San Francisco, USA Aug. 14-16, 2013 http://www.sis.pitt.edu/~iri2013

Given the emerging global Information-centric IT landscape that has tremendous social and economic implications, effectively processing and integrating humungous volumes of information from diverse sources to enable effective decision making and knowledge generation have become one of the most significant challenges of current times. 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 systems and applications. 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. Recent advances in online social networks, cloud computing and BigData analytics are some examples that further emphasize a growing need for more effective and efficient IRI techniques. 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 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. Theoretical and applied papers are both included. The conference program will include special sessions, open forum workshops, panels and keynote speeches.

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 Various Applications Information Security & Privacy Survivable Systems & Infrastructures AI & Decision Support Systems Heuristic Optimization and Search Knowledge Acquisition and Management Fuzzy and Neural Systems Soft Computing Evolutionary Computing Case-Based Reasoning Natural Language Understanding Knowledge Management and E-Government Command & Control Systems (C4ISR) Human-Machine Information Systems Space and Robotic Systems Biomedical & Healthcare Systems Homeland Security & Critical Infrastructure Protection Manufacturing Systems & Business Process Engineering Multimedia Systems Service-Oriented Architecture Autonomous Agents in Web-based Systems Information Integration in Grid Computing Environments Information Integration in Mobile Computing Environments Information Integration in Ubiquitous Computing Environments Systems of Systems Semantic Web and Emerging Applications Information Reuse, Integration and Sharing in Collaborative Environments

Best Paper Award:

IEEE IRI will be presenting a Best Paper award. The best paper will be selected by separate committee and will be the one that reports the most novel and promising research work that has a high potential impact in the real world.
