Workshop on Information Integration Methods, Architectures, and Systems (IIMAS)Friday & Saturday April 11-12, 2008
|
| description | Information integration continues to play a mission critical role in a diversity of applications from E-Commerce to life sciences to ecology to disaster management. These applications rely on the ability to integrate information from multiple heterogeneous sources. The requirements range from robust well engineered and reliable solutions to on-the-fly best effort integration. While there has been much progress in formalizing a research framework and developing methodologies and architectures, the emergence of Web 2.0, distributed sensor networks, data streams, P2P networks, etc., continue to raise new challenges. This 1.5 day workshop will bring together a diverse group of researchers from the database, AI and WWW communities. The topics to be addressed include the methods, architectures, and systems to support information integration. We solicit research papers and experience papers as well as (short) demonstration papers and position papers. | ||||||||
