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 2013 aims to provide a forum for high quality presentations on research activities centered on three main tracks: - The first track titled "Web Computing and Applications (WeCA)" focuses on emerging and novel concepts, architectures, technologies, and methodologies for information management related to the Web and cloud computing. In essence, the Web, with its different versions, has 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, etc. Taking full advantage of these interconnected environments to meet the ever increasing needs of emerging applications requires solutions that address new issues and challenges. The track calls for research papers and reports directed at several areas including: Data Semantics, Web-Centric Systems, Big Data, Information System Interoperability, Cloud, Cooperative information and Distributed Systems, and Information security - The second track titled "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 track calls for research papers and reports directed at several areas including:Image Processing and Analysis, Signal processing, Image/Video Coding and Authentication, and Applications - The third track titled "Multimedia Information Retrieval and Application (MIRA)" focuses on emerging modeling, representation and retrieval techniques that take into account the amount, type and diversity of multimedia information accessible in distributed computing environment. The internet, social networking, multimedia databases and management of multimedia cultural collections have created the need for cross-fields models, paradigms and techniques for efficient modeling, management and consumption of multimedia contents. The track calls for research papers and reports directed at several areas including Multimedia Query and Retrieval; Mobile and Location-Based Media, Social media and Social networking, Multimedia Security, and Multimedia Arts, Entertainment and Digital Culture. Submission and publication -------------------------- The conference will include keynote addresses, tutorials, and regular and workshop sessions. SITIS 2013 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.

The program is extremely rich in content and will draw attendance from scholars and practitioners from information related fields all over the world. The conference program focuses on research and technological development on the latest issues affecting information environments, information phenomena, and information users. The program sets to provide a wide range of research topics and related practical issues such as cloud-based metadata, biomedical research, social informatics to collective information seeking, adoption of social media, digital humanities and human information interaction, among others. We hope that the discussions generated by the papers, panels and posters will contribute to expand our understanding of information problems and to help us in better addressing them in our research and professional endeavors. Keynote speaker: Jorge Garcia, a Montreal-based expert in the area of business intelligence and data management. His work involves the assessment and implementation of information technologies. This year, the Annual Meeting follows the 9th International Conference on Knowledge Management (ICKM), another great venue for learning about developments in information and knowledge management. The presence of ICKM attendees at ASIS&T Annual Meeting should provide additional opportunities for great discussions. http://asis.org/asist2013/ .
