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. Recent advances in online social networks,
cloud computing and BigData analytics are some examples that further
emphasize a growing need for more effective and efficient IRI techniques.
This conference explores three major tracks: information reuse,
information integration, and reusable systems. Information reuse
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.
