				CALL FOR PAPERS

	INTERNET BASED COMPUTING AND SYSTEMS (IEEE SITIS 05)

		The 2005 IEEE International Conference on
		SIGNAL-IMAGE TECHNOLOGY & INTERNET- BASED SYSTEMS
	Sponsored by IEEE (co-sponsorship of AUF, approval pending)

			November 27th - December 1st 2005
				The Hilton Hotel
				Yaoundé, Cameroon

SITIS 05 is a joint event consisting of major conference tracks. 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.

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)
