        Track Internet-Based Computing and Systems (IBCS) 
                         SITIS 2012 
             The 8th International Conference on 
        SIGNAL IMAGE TECHNOLOGY & INTERNET BASED SYSTEMS 
                  November 25 - 29, 2012 
                 SORRENTO, Naples - Italy 

           (Sponsored by IEEE, ACM, IFIP – pending) 
                http://www.sitis-conf.org/ 

The SITIS conference is dedicated to research on the technologies used to represent, share and process information in various forms, ranging from signal, image, and multimedia data to traditional structured data and semi structured data found in the web. The focus of the track on Internet Based Systems and Computing is on emerging and novel concepts, architectures and methodologies for information management. 
Novel architectures are being proposed to allow resource sharing and distributed processing of data with increasing complexity. Peer to peer computing, mobile information systems, semantic based applications, and decision support systems are a few examples of these applications and systems. 

The Topics of interest include but not limited to:
