It aims to provide a forum for high quality presentations and discussions among researchers, academic leaders, and practitioners from all over the world and for sharing experiences in the rapidly expanding and related fields of Internet based computing, information technologies and signal and image processing. The conference tracks on Internet Based Systems and Applications will focus on emerging and novel concepts, architectures and methodologies for information management. 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 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. One major objective of SITIS 05 is to foster exchanges between researchers from developing countries and other researches.Both theoretical and practical experience papers are solicited in the following topics. THE TOPICS OF INTEREST INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: * Data semantics Multiple Representation Ontologies Conceptual Data Modeling Knowledge Representation and Reasoning Metadata Evolution and Change Web Semantics and Semi Structured Data Semantic Caching Data Warehousing and Semantic Semantics in Data Visualization Semantic Services for Mobile Users Applications of Semantic-Driven Approaches * Information System Interoperability Digital Libraries Semantic Interoperability and Semantic Mediators Ontologies Based Systems Contextual Reasoning in Distributed Ontologies * Emergent semantics Context-Dependent Semantics Contextual Reasoning in Distributed Ontologies Ontologies Based Systems Contextual Reasoning in Distributed Ontologies Context-Dependent Semantics Communication in Multi-Agents Systems Emergent Semantic Interoperability in Large-Scale Systems Emergent Semantics in Content Retrieval Systems * Cooperative information systems and Distributed Systems Information Sharing Grid Applications P2P Computing and Applications Knowledge and Semantic Grid Semantics Of Peer Data Management Systems Mobile Information Systems and Computing * Web-Centric Systems Semantic Web and Web Service Web Services and Service Computing Semantics of web services Compositions Hypermedia and Adaptation E-Commerce and E-Learning Data Mining Methods and Web Machine Learning * Advanced Information Systems and Applications Spatial Modeling and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) GIS and Sustainable Development Environmental GIS GIS and Remote Sensing Urban GIS Spatial, temporal modeling semantics Bioinformatics * Multimedia and application Image and Video Databases Image and Video Indexing and Retrieval Emergent Semantics in Content Retrieval Systems Semantics and Meta Data in Multimedia Systems Content-Based Indexing, Search, and Retrieval of Multimedia Data Approximate Search Techniques and the Quality of Answers High-Dimensional Clustering for Indexing Query Languages and Query Processing for Multimedia Retrieval Multimedia Data Modeling and Visualization Tools, Benchmarks, Evaluation Protocols and Standards * Information security Security Modeling and Protocol Intrusion Avoidance, Detection, and Response Web Security and Supporting Systems Security Denial of Service: Attacks and Countermeasures Intellectual Property Protection Fundamental Services on Network and Distributed Systems Security and Privacy for Emerging Technologies Trust based systems You are invited to submit full length papers, not exceeding 10 pages in length, in two-column format including diagrams and references, following IEEE publication guidelines. Papers that do not follow these guidelines may be rejected without consideration of their merits. Papers must be submitted electronically at the conference website in PDF format. All papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee on the basis of technical quality, originality, clarity,and relevance to the track topics below. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. At least one author of each paper should attend the workshop to present the paper. Selected papers from the conference will be considered for possible publication in several journals with topics relevant to some of the conference tracks, including: - The Journal on Data Semantics (Springer Verlag in LNCS series) - The international Journal of Data and Information Management (JDIM) IMPORTANT DATES: --------------- Abstract submission June 8th, 2005 Proposals for Tutorials June 15th, 2005 Paper submission June 15th, 2005 Notification of acceptance August 15th, 2005 Final version paper with registration September 15th, 2005 ORGANIZATION General Chairs S.
