The conference seeks to address how current approaches and technologies can be evolved and adapted to this end and will include an informative and interactive session for the presentation of demonstrations and industrial papers describing original industrial applications, experiences and challenges. Proposals should be focused on the conference topics and related techniques. Topics ------- We solicit demonstrations and industrial proposals related but not limited to the following topics: - Digital Ecosystem Infrastructure - Web Technologies - Social Networks - Data & Knowledge Management Systems - Multimedia Information Retrieval - Ontology Management - Services systems and Engineering - E-Services, E-Learning, E-Humanities and E-Government - Emergent Intelligence - Game Theory - Networks and Protocols - Security & Privacy - Standardization and Extensible Languages - Human-Computer Interaction - Business Intelligence - B2B, B2C, B2A, E-Commerce, E-Business, E-Marketing and E-Procurement - Digital Library - Open Source Demonstrations and Industrial Proposal Submissions -------------------------------------------------- Submissions must follow ACM format guidelines and must be uploaded in PDF format using the conference website. Proposals must be no more than four pages long. This page limit includes all parts of the paper: title, abstract, body, and bibliography. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 2 peer reviewers. Selection criteria will include relevance, significance, impact, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. At least one author should attend the conference to present the proposal. Accepted proposals will appear in the final proceedings of the main conference published by ACM and indexed by the ACM Digital Library. Demonstration proposals must clearly describe what will be demonstrated, how the contribution will be illustrated interactively and how the audience will interact in order to understand the concepts being demonstrated. Optionally, proposals can include a URL that shows a preliminary version of the demonstration such as screenshots or another interactive program.

Message-ID: <1248700049.4a6da6916e1eb@webmail.u-bourgogne.fr> --------- Sorry for cross-postings --------- - Paper submission deadline is approaching - ################################################################################################# The 5th International Conference on Signal Image Technology and Internet Based Systems (SITIS'09) November 29 - December 4, 2009 Farah Kenzi Hotel Marrakech, Morocco http://www.u-bourgogne.fr/SITIS In cooperation with ACM SIGAPP.fr, IFIP TC 2 WG 2.13, IEEE (pending) ################################################################################################# The SITIS conference is dedicated to research on the technologies used to represent, share and process information in various forms, ranging multimedia data to traditional structured data and semi-structured data found in the web. SITIS spans two inter-related research domains that increasingly play a key role in connecting systems across network centric environments to allow distributed computing and information sharing. SITIS 2009 aims to provide a forum for high quality presentations on research activities centered on the following tracks: * The focus of the 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 include data semantics and ontologies, semi-structure data management, spatial information systems, multimedia databases, multimedia networking and qos, information retrieval and search engine, information security, schema mapping and evolution, data warehousing, social network, and applications. * The track "Web-Based Information Technologies & Distributed Systems" (WITDS) is devoted to emerging and novel concepts, architectures and methodologies for creating an interconnected world 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 include information system interoperability, emergent semantics, agent-based systems, distributed and parallel information management, grid, P2P, web-centric systems, web security and integrity issues. * The track "Open Source Software Development and Solution" (OSSDS) focuses on new software engineering method in distributed and large scaled environments, strategies for promoting, adopting, and using Open Source Solutions and case studies or success stories in specific domains. The main topics include software engineering methods, users and communities' interactions, software development platforms, open source developments and project management, applications domain, case studies. In addition to the above tracks, SITIS 2009 includes workshops. The final list of workshop will be provided later. Submission and publication -------------------------- The conference will include keynote addresses, tutorials, and regular and workshop sessions. SITIS 2009 invites submission of high quality and original papers on the topics of the major tracks described below. All submitted 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. Important dates ---------------- * Paper Submission (Extended): August 03rd, 2009 * Acceptance/Reject notification: August 25th, 2009 * Camera ready / Author registration: September 1st, 2009 Local organizing committee (Cadi Ayyad University, Morocco) ------------------------------------------------------------ * Aziz Elfaazzikii (Chair) * El Hassan Abdelwahed * Jahir Zahi * Mohamed El Adnani * Mohamed Sadgal * Souad Chraibi * Said El Bachari More details about each track and detailed topics can be found on the conference website: http://www.u-bourgogne.fr/SITIS
