CALL FOR PAPERS


Track on Web-Based Information Technologies & Distributed Systems (WITDS)

The Fourth International Conference on SIGNAL-IMAGE TECHNOLOGY & INTERNET-BASED SYSTEMS

In cooperation with ACM Sigapp.fr, IEEE (pending)

November 30th to December 3rd, 2008
Bali, Indonesia
http://www.u-bourgogne.fr/sitis



The SITIS conference is dedicated to research on the technologies used to represent,
share and process information in various forms, ranging from signal, image, and multimedia
data to traditional structured data and semi-structured data found in the web.
SITIS spans two inter-related research domains that increasingly play a key role in connecting
systems across network centric environments to allow distributed computing and information sharing.
 
The track "Web-Based Information Technologies & Distributed Systems (WITDS)" is devoted to
emerging and novel concepts, architectures and methodologies for creating an interconnected
world in which information can be exchanged easily, tasks can be processed collaboratively,
and communities of users with similarly interests can be formed while addressing security threats
that are present more than ever before.
