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. Taking full advantage of these interconnected environments to meet the ever increasing needs of emerging application requires solutions that address new issues and challenges. Novel architectures are being proposed to allow resource sharing and distributed processing of linked data and devices. Peer to peer computing, mobile information systems, semantic based applications, linked data systems, Internet of things etc. are a few examples. Topics of interest include, but not limited, to: ---------------------------------------------- * Data semantics * Web-Centric Systems * Semantic Web * Social media and networking * Big Data * Information System Interoperability * Digital Libraries * Cloud Computing * Integrated, Virtualized and Distributed Information Systems * Multimedia and application * Information security * Service Based Systems Submission and publication -------------------------- SITIS'15 WeCa Track invites submission of high quality and original papers on the topics listed above. Allsubmitted 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. Extended versions of selected papers will be invited for potential publication journals.

We are granting this year?s award to Quinn Dupont of the Faculty of Information at the University of Toronto, based on his dissertation project, tentatively titled, ?Plaintext, Encryption, and Ciphertext: A History of Cryptography and its Influence on Contemporary Society.? Dupont's nominating faculty member wrote: "His intellectual background allows for cross-pollination of rigorous theoretical approaches from different fields and is useful as a way to add dimension to media archaeology, which has its roots in history and the social sciences. This hybridization adds theory to empirical research, while forcing information studies into a theoretical conversation of its own methods." The award consists of a certificate suitable for framing and $1000 check. Since this award is for ongoing research, other applicants who are still working on their dissertations will be eligible to enter their work next year, and we strongly encourage them to do so.

We had lost track of each other over the past couple of year. Those not familiar with the trajectory of this unorthodox and influential thinker and economist might wish to refer to the transcript of his interview by John Lodewijks, ?Professor of foresight: an interview with Donald Lamberton?, /Journal of Economic and Social Policy/, 11, 2, article 5, available at _http://epubs.scu.edu.au/jesp/vol11/iss2/5/_. His "Penguin book",/The Economics of Information and Knowledge/, published in 1971 has significantly contributed to the difficult cross-breeding of economics and information science. While holding firm on his rural Australia roots, Donald Lamberton endeavoured a truly international career, and, more importantly, vision. He was a unique mind and a dedicated mentor. A more informed obituary by Stuart Macdonald will soon appear in Prometheus the journal that Don founded and ran for some 32 years.
