The 2009 IEEE International Conference on Information Reuse and
Integration (IEEE IRI-2009)
Sponsored by: The IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society
August 10-12, 2009
Tuscany Hotel, Las Vegas, USA
http://iri2009.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The increasing volumes and dimensions of information have dramatic impact on
effective decision-making. To remedy this situation, 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 legacy systems. 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 reuse considers optimizing
representation methodologies; information integration studies strategies for
creatively applying models in novel domains; and reusable systems focus on
ontological opportunities for deploying models and corresponding processes.
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. The conference
feature contributed and invited papers. Theoretical and applied papers are both
included. The conference program will include special sessions, open forum
workshops, and keynote speeches. A forum will be conducted with the intent of
bridging IRI and Systems of Systems and why the future of intelligent computing
- including computing applications - will lie at the juxtaposition of these two
topical areas. There will be new IRI Society Memberships and Awards. The
conference includes, but is not limited to, the areas listed below:
- Large Scale Data and System Integration
- Component-Based Design and Reuse

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Papers reporting original and unpublished research results pertaining to the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. Papers should be submitted at the conference web site:
http://iri2009.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/. If web submission is not possible,
manuscripts should be sent as an attachment via email to either of the Program
Chairs (mailing address available on the conference website) on or before the
deadline date of March 1, 2009. The attachment must be in .pdf (preferred) or
word.doc format. The subject of the email must be IEEE IRI 2009 Submission.
Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance,
relevance, and clarity of presentation. Authors should certify that their
papers represent substantially new work and are previously unpublished. Paper
submission implies the intent of at least one of the authors to register and
present the paper, if accepted.
