Call for Papers - TASIM 2010 - Intl. Workshop on Technologies and Systems for Information Management

CALL FOR PAPERS TASIM 2010 1st International Workshop on Technologies and Systems for Information Management June 7-8, 2010, Hammamet, Tunisia CAiSE 2010 Workshop http://wise.vub.ac.be/TASIM2010/ Submission Deadline: 15 February 2010 Recent developments in both hardware and software technologies are having a dramatic effect on both the types of information that we manage and the ways in which we capture and access it. For example, mobile devices such as smartphones and laptops are commonplace and users now expect access to a wide variety of applications while on the move. Similarly, the proliferation of sensor devices such as RFID tags or wearable sensors produce continuous streams of data that need to be processed, aggregated, and stored. At the same time, the emergence of multi-touch displays and digital pens are expected to change the ways in which users interact with information at home as well as in the workplace. On the software side, the spread of Web 2.0 means that users now manage their personal and professional information across a variety of both web-based and desktop applications. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers addressing the challenges of information management in modern day settings by developing new technologies and systems designed to meet the needs of both end-users and application developers. Topics to be covered will include everything from novel data management solutions through to platforms designed to support experimentation with new technologies. We are seeking research papers that either propose new technologies and systems addressing specific information management issues in modern settings or deal with how emerging technologies can be utilized for information management. In addition to research papers, we will also consider high quality position papers and experience papers for presentation at the workshop. All papers will be full papers of up to 15 pages in length (Springer LNCS style). Topics of particular interest are: - innovative tools for personal information management - data management in social networks - dataspace systems - cross-media information management - multimedia information capture, annotation and retrieval - mobile databases - adaptive database systems - distributed persistent object stores - innovative querying mechanisms - technologies and tools for data integration and synchronisation - technologies for processing streaming data - mechanisms to support context-aware applications - technologies and tools to support agile development - technologies and tools for collaborative access to information - frameworks to support the development of mobile social applications - frameworks to support new forms of information interaction and visualisation Further details are available on the workshop web site: http://wise.vub.ac.be/TASIM2010/. Workshop Chairs: - Prof. Moira Norrie, ETH Zurich, Switzerland - Prof. Heiko Schuldt, University of Basel, Switzerland - Prof. Beat Signer, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium
