                         IEEE IRI 2011

               IEEE International Conference on
               Information Reuse and Integration
                          3-5 August 2011

   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.

   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.

   If you plan to attend, please hurry up on travel arrangements. The
   conference room rate at the Tuscany Suites & Casino is $35/night + tax.
