WWW has been driving global information integration. In spite of the many applications in all domains of our societies: e-business, e-commerce, e-learning, e-science, and e-government, for instance, as well as the tremendous advances by engineers and scientists, the seamless integration of information and services remains a major challenge. The current shared vision for the future is one of semantically rich information and service oriented architectures for global information systems. This vision is at the convergence of progress in technologies such as XML, Web services, RDF, OWL, of multimedia, multimodal, and multilingual information retrieval, and of distributed, mobile and ubiquitous computing.

PUBLICATION

Past iiWAS proceedings have been published and listed in the ACM Digital Library. iiWAS2011 proceedings will also be published by ACM (pending approval) and will subsequently be indexed and included in the ACM Digital Library.

Selected papers from iiWAS2011 will also appear in special issues of international journals.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF through the conference website. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Submitted papers will subject to stringent peer review by at least three members of the international program committee and carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings to be published by ACM (pending approval). The submitted papers should not exceed 8 pages and must follow the ACM guidelines (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates).
