The 12th IEEE International Conference on Information
Reuse and Integration (IEEE IRI-2011)
Tuscany Suites & Casino, Las Vegas, USA
August 3-5, 2011
http://www.sis.pitt.edu/~iri2011/

Given the emerging global Information-centric IT landscape that
has tremendous social and economic implications, effectively
processing and integrating humungous volumes of information from
diverse sources to enable effective decision making and knowledge
generation have become one of the most significant challenges of
current times. Information Reuse and Integration (IRI) seeks to
maximize the reuse of information by creating simple, rich, and
reusable knowledge representations and consequently explores
strategies for integrating this knowledge into systems and
applications. IRI plays a pivotal role in the capture, representation,
maintenance, integration, validation, and extrapolation of
information; and applies both information and knowledge for
enhancing decision-making in various application domains.


This conference explores three major tracks: information reuse,
information integration, and reusable systems. Information
explores theory and practice of optimizing representation; information
integration focuses on innovative strategies and algorithms for
applying integration approaches in novel domains; and reusable
systems focus on developing and deploying models and corresponding
processes that enable Information Reuse and Integration to play a
pivotal role in enhancing decision-making processes in various
application domains.


The IEEE IRI conference serves as a forum for researchers and
practitioners from academia, industry, and government to present,
discuss, and exchange ideas that address real-world problems with
real-world solutions. Theoretical and applied papers are both included.
The conference program will include special sessions, open forum
workshops, panels and keynote speeches.

below:

- Large Scale Data and System Integration

Best Paper Award:

Starting this year, IEEE IRI will be presenting a
Best Paper award. The best paper will be selected by separate committee
and will be the one that reports the most novel and promising research
work that has a high potential impact in the real world.


Instructions for Authors:
Papers reporting original and unpublished research results pertaining to
the above and related topics are solicited. Full paper manuscripts must
be in English of length 4 to 6 pages (using the IEEE two-column template).
Submissions should include the title, author(s), affiliation(s), e-mail
address(es), tel/fax numbers, abstract, and postal address(es) on the
first page. The online submission site is:
https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=ieeeiri2011. If web
submission is not possible, please contact the program co-chairs for
alternate arrangements. Papers will be selected based on their originality,
timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Paper
submission implies the intent of at least one of the authors to register
and present the paper, if accepted. Best Paper Award: Starting this
year, IEEE IRI will be presenting a Best Paper award. The best paper
will be selected by separate committee and will be the one that
reports the most novel and promising research work that has a high
potential impact in the real world.
