<div>-International Journal of Multimedia Data Engineering and Management</div><div><br></div><div>Given the emerging global Information-centric IT landscape that has </div><div>tremendous social and economic implications, effectively processing </div>
<div>and integrating very large volumes of information from diverse sources </div><div>to enable effective decision making and knowledge generation have </div><div>become one of the most significant challenges of current times. </div>
<div>Information Reuse and Integration (IRI) seeks to maximize the reuse </div><div>of information by creating simple, rich, and reusable knowledge </div><div>representations and consequently explores strategies for integrating </div>
<div>this knowledge into circuits design, devices, systems and applications. </div><div>IRI plays a pivotal role in the capture, representation, maintenance, </div><div>integration, validation/verification, and extrapolation of information; </div>
<div>and, applies both information and knowledge for enhancing design and </div><div>implementation, decision-making, and knowledge management in various </div><div>domains including hardware design, system implementation, software </div>
<div>engineering, knowledge management, and applications – to name a few. </div><div><br></div><div>The conference includes, but is not limited to, the areas listed below:</div><div> </div><div>Reuse and integration in VLSI/ SoC, and Computing architectures</div>
