Intelligent Information Systems
The Intelligent Information Systems thematic track will be concerned with the integration of artificial intelligence, intelligent systems and technologies, database technologies and information systems methodologies to create the next generation information systems – Intelligent Information Systems (IIS).
These new type of information systems embody knowledge that allows them to exhibit intelligent behavior. This enables them to cooperate with users and other systems in tasks such as problem solving and retrieval and manipulation of a large variety of multimedia information and knowledge. These systems perform tasks such as knowledge-directed inference to discover knowledge from very large data collections and provide cooperative support to users in complex data analysis. IIS are also concerned with searching, accessing, retrieving, storing and treating large collections of multimedia information and knowledge and also integrating information and knowledge from multiple heterogeneous sources.
The Thematic track on Intelligent Information Systems will provide a forum for academics, researchers and practitioners to discuss issues, publish original and state-of-the-art research concerning theoretical and practical advances on IIS, system architectures, tools and techniques, and successful experiences in intelligent information systems.
Topics of Interest
The thematic track will be structured around the following themes:
- Fundamentals of data, information, and knowledge models;
- Data engineering and data quality in Information Systems;
- Information technologies applications and management in knowledge-based society;
- Decision support models and systems for IIS;
- Methods for IIS analysis, design, implementation, validation and maintenance;
- User modeling, process modelling and business modelling methodologies;
- Intelligent/cooperative search and query languages and interfaces;
- Knowledge management, representation, integration, fusion, interchange and evolution in IIS;
- Intelligent databases, extended-relational, object-oriented, logic-based and active databases;
- Intelligent information retrieval, digital libraries, and networked information retrieval;
- Distributed multimedia and hypermedia information space design, implementation and navigation;
- Intelligent user interfaces, visual interfaces, visual query languages, and visual expressiveness of IIS;
- Competitive and strategic intelligence;
- Machine learning, knowledge discovery, and data mining for large IIS systems;
- Uncertainty management and reasoning under uncertainty for IIS;
- Applications of Intelligent Information Systems.
This topic’s list is not exhaustive. Papers may address one or more of the listed topics, although authors should not feel limited by them. Unlisted but related topics are also acceptable, provided they fit in the thematic track main subject.
Paper submission
Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere. Papers should not exceed twelve (12) pages in length and must adhere to the formatting instructions of the conference. Each submission will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee. The reviewing process is double blind, so authors should remove names and affiliations from the submitted papers, and must take reasonable care to assure anonymity during the review process. References to own work may be included in the paper, as long as referred to in the third person. Acceptance will be based on the paper’s significance, technical quality, clarity, relevance and originality.
Paper Publication
All accepted papers will be published by Springer in a volume of the LNAI-Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series (indexed by the Thomson ISI Web of Knowledge). The number of pages of the accepted contributions has the following limits:
- Full Regular Papers: Contributions accepted as full papers should contain from 10 to 12 pages in its final version, according to the LNAI series formatting instructions. Extraordinarily, other two additional pages could be considered with a supplementary fee.
- Short Papers: Contributions accepted as short papers should contain from 4 to 6 pages in its final version, according to the LNAI series formatting instructions.
All accepted papers must be presented orally the conference by one of the authors and at least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference.
