Grid computing, P2P technology, data and knowledge bases, distributed information retrieval technology, and networking technology should all converge to address the scalability concern. The Second International Conference on Scalable Information Systems will focus on a wide array of scalability issues and investigate new approaches for tackling problems arising from the ever-growing size and complexity of information of all kinds. ---------------------------------- Conference Scope: ---------------------------------- * Parallel Information Retrieval * Scalable Distributed Information Retrieval * Scalable Grid Information Systems * Scalable Peer-to-Peer Systems * Scalable Mobile Systems * Scalable Web Services * Scalable Sensor Networks and Systems * Scalable system and conceptual modeling * Scalable multimedia information systems * Parallel and Distributed Computing Systems * Middleware technology for scalable computing * Architectures for Scalability * Networking for Scalable Information Systems * Evaluation Metrics for Scalability * Very Large Databases * Data Mining * Index Compression Methods * Information Security * Enterprise information systems and applications ---------------------------------- Publications ---------------------------------- * Original and previously unpublished technical papers are solicited for presentation at the conference and publication in the proceedings. * The conference proceedings will be published as part of the ACM Digital Library, which automatically gets listed in EI and ISI Indexes. * Selected best papers will be invited for a special issue of the Journal of Future Generation Computer Systems (tentative). ---------------------------------- Submission Instructions: ---------------------------------- Papers in PDF should be submitted via COCUS at http://cocus.create-net.org/cocus/welcome.do.
