                        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.
