The Internet and the related technologies have created an interconnected world in which information can be exchanged easily, tasks can be processed collaboratively, communities of users with similarly interests can be formed to achieve efficiency and improve performance. Taking full advantage of these interconnected environments to meet the ever increasing needs of emerging application requires solutions that address new issues and challenges. Novel architectures are being proposed to allow resource sharing and distributed processing of linked data and devices. Peer to peer computing, mobile information systems, semantic based applications, linked data systems, Internet of things etc. are a few examples. Topics of interest include, but not limited, to: ---------------------------------------------- * Data semantics * Web-Centric Systems * Semantic Web * Social media and networking * Big Data * Information System Interoperability * Digital Libraries * Cloud Computing * Integrated, Virtualized and Distributed Information Systems * Multimedia and application * Information security * Service Based Systems Submission and publication -------------------------- SITIS'15 WeCa Track invites submission of high quality and original papers on the topics listed above. Allsubmitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers for technical merit, originality, significance and relevance to track topics. Papers must be up to 8 pages and follow IEEE double columns publication format. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and published by IEEE Computer Society and referenced in IEEE explore and major indexes.
