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 data and semi-structured data found in the web. 
SITIS 2006 aims to provide a forum for high quality presentations on research activities 
centered on three main tracks. 

The focus of the first track "Information Management & Retrieval Technologies" (IMRT) 
is on the emerging modeling, representation and retrieval techniques that take into account 
the amount, type and diversity of information accessible in distributed computing environment.
The main topics of Interest include: 

- Data Semantics
- Spatial Information Systems and Applications
- Multimedia and application
- Information security.

The second track "Web-Based Information Technologies & Distributed Systems" (WITDS) is devoted to 
emerging and novel concepts, architectures and methodologies for creating interconnected environments 
in which information can be exchanged easily, tasks can be processed collaboratively, and communities 
of users with similarly interests can be formed while addressing security threats that are present 
more than ever before. The main topics of Interest include:

- Information System Interoperability 
- Emergent semantics 
- Agent-based systems
- Distributed, Parallel, GRID, P2P, Mobile information management 
- Web-Centric Systems 

The third track "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 main topics of Interest include:

- Image Processing and Analysis 
- Image/Video Coding and Authentication 
- Signal processing 
- Applications 



Submissions must be in electronic form as PDF or PS files and should be uploaded through the SITIS 2006 Web site. 
Submissions should be 3000-4000 words long (approx. 8-12 double-space printed pages). 
Papers that fail to comply with length limit will be rejected. 
Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 2 qualified reviewers. 
Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, 
and quality of presentation. Preference will be given to submissions that take strong or challenging positions 
on important emergent topics. At least one author should attend the conference to present the paper. 
 
Tutorial and Workshop proposals should be submitted to sitis at u-bourgogne.fr.
