SITIS spans two inter-related research domains that increasingly play a key role in connecting systems across network centric environments to allow distributed computing and information sharing. SITIS 2013 aims to provide a forum for high quality presentations on research activities centered on three main tracks: - The first track titled "Web Computing and Applications (WeCA)" focuses on emerging and novel concepts, architectures, technologies, and methodologies for information management related to the Web and cloud computing. In essence, the Web, with its different versions, has 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, etc. Taking full advantage of these interconnected environments to meet the ever increasing needs of emerging applications requires solutions that address new issues and challenges. The track calls for research papers and reports directed at several areas including: Data Semantics, Web-Centric Systems, Big Data, Information System Interoperability, Cloud, Cooperative information and Distributed Systems, and Information security - The second track titled "Signal & Image Technologies (SIT)" focuses on recent developments in digital signal processing and pays particular attention to evolutions in audiovisual signal processing, analysis, coding and authentication, and retrieval techniques. The track calls for research papers and reports directed at several areas including:Image Processing and Analysis, Signal processing, Image/Video Coding and Authentication, and Applications - The third track titled "Multimedia Information Retrieval and Application (MIRA)" focuses on emerging modeling, representation and retrieval techniques that take into account the amount, type and diversity of multimedia information accessible in distributed computing environment. The internet, social networking, multimedia databases and management of multimedia cultural collections have created the need for cross-fields models, paradigms and techniques for efficient modeling, management and consumption of multimedia contents. The track calls for research papers and reports directed at several areas including Multimedia Query and Retrieval; Mobile and Location-Based Media, Social media and Social networking, Multimedia Security, and Multimedia Arts, Entertainment and Digital Culture. Submission and publication -------------------------- The conference will include keynote addresses, tutorials, and regular and workshop sessions. SITIS 2013 invites submission of high quality and original papers on the topics of the major tracks described below. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers for technical merit, originality, significance and relevance to track topics. Papers must be up to 8 pages and follow IEEE double columns publication format. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and published by IEEE Computer Society and referenced in IEEE explore and major indexes.

W. Lancaster, GSLIS professor emeritus, passes away Message-ID: <52205692.1030609@orange.fr> -------- Original Message -------- Subject: F. W. Lancaster, GSLIS professor emeritus, passes away Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2013 14:25:06 +0000 From: Schmidt, Kimberly Rae F. W. ?Wilf? Lancaster, professor emeritus at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois, passed away on Sunday, August 25, at his home in Urbana, Illinois. He was 79 years old. He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Cesaria; and his children, Miriam, Owen, Jude, Aaron, Lakshmi, and Raji; and his 13 grandchildren. A visitation will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, August 30, at St. Patrick?s Catholic Church in Urbana with a funeral Mass to follow at 11:00 a.m. Interment will occur immediately thereafter at Clements Cemetery on High Cross Road in Urbana. A funeral lunch will follow at St. Patrick?s. In lieu of flowers, please make contributions to Save the Children or the World Wildlife Fund. Lancaster graduated as an associate of the British Library Association from the University of Northumbria at Newcastle, England, in 1955. After gaining experience as a senior assistant at the Newcastle-upon-Tyne Public Libraries, Lancaster immigrated to the United States in 1959. He became known for his revolutionary work in the evaluation and management of MEDLARS, the National Library of Medicine?s computerized bibliographic retrieval system for articles in academic journals in medicine and allied health professions. Though one of the earliest evaluations of a computer-based retrieval system, it continues to have a lasting impact on information systems today. Lancaster joined GSLIS in 1970 as an associate professor and director of the biomedical librarianship program (1970-73); in 1972, he became a full professor; and in 1992, following his retirement, he was honored with the title of professor emeritus. During his distinguished career, he taught courses in information retrieval, bibliometrics, bibliographic organization, and the evaluation of library and information services. He served as the editor of /Library Trends/, a quarterly journal examining critical trends in professional librarianship, from 1986 to 2006. For the period from 1989 to 1992, he was named University Scholar, a prestigious program recognizing the University?s most talented teachers, scholars, and researchers. Nationally and internationally, Lancaster was recognized as a leader in the field of library and information science through his work as a teacher, writer, and scholar. He was honored three times with Fulbright fellowships for research and teaching abroad, named a fellow of the Library Association of Great Britain, and recognized by the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) with both the Award of Merit and the Outstanding Information Science Teacher award. He was the author of 15 books, several of which have received national awards and been translated into languages such as Arabic, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Portuguese. Lancaster also engaged in a wide range of consulting activities for organizations around the world, including UNESCO and the United Nations. In 2008, /Library Trends/ published the Festschrift, ?Essays Honoring the Legacy of F. W. Lancaster ? (Volume 56, Issue 4), edited by Lorraine J. Haricombe and Keith Russell, both of whom studied under Lancaster. It includes contributions from his friends, family, students, colleagues, and scholars, celebrating his achievements and paying homage to his life?s work. ?I met Professor Lancaster when I was a new library school student, and he was a new library school faculty member. He was such a natural that I thought he had been researching, writing, and teaching for many years. But most noteworthy was the interest he took in his students, their ideas, their development, and their careers. He became a lifelong friend for so many of us,? said Russell (MS ?72), life sciences librarian at the University of Kansas. The /Library Trends/ issue includes articles that highlight Lancaster's legacy in the area of underlying structure for online retrieval systems; his significant work in subject analysis, thesaurus construction, and system evaluation; his impact on measurement and evaluation in libraries; his accurate prediction of a ?paperless society?; and his specialization in bibliometrics. It concludes with an interview by Leigh Estabrook, GSLIS dean emerita, who worked with Lancaster during a significant part of his career. ?Wilf was a wonderful scholar, teacher, and colleague. His influence on our field is both deep and wide and continues to be regenerated by his many former students. I will miss his intelligence, his provocative questions and his wit. He was a model of a whole human being in his love for his work and his love for his family," said Estabrook. A detailed obituary is available online. -- Kim Schmidt Director of Publications and Media Relations Graduate School of Library and Information Science University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign 501 East Daniel Street Champaign, IL 61820 (217) 265-6391 www.lis.illinois.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
