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 2nd 2005, Yaoundé, Cameroon

http://www.u-bourgogne.fr/sitis

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 OF INTEREST INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:

* Data semantics
* Information System Interoperability
* Emergent semantics
* Cooperative information systems and Distributed Systems
* Web-Centric Systems
* Advanced Information Systems and Applications
* Multimedia and application
* Information security

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. The papers must be submitted as PDF attachment to an e-mail message. The title page should include author name(s),affiliation, mailing address, telephone, fax, and e-mail address. Please, submit your manuscripts to sitis@u-bourgogne.fr. 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 Digital Information Management (JDIM)
