CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS Title : RECENT TRENDS IN INFORMATION REUSE AND INTEGRATION By Springer Verlag
Editors : Tansel Özyer, Keivan Kianmehr, Mehmet Tan

MOTIVATION



Tremendous effort is invested in producing valuable information and tools. Reuse and integration are essential concepts that must be enforced to avoid duplicating the effort and reinventing the wheel each time the same field is to be investigated from a different perspective. In organizations, we witness high volumes of data from different sources form a big threat for filtering out the information for effective decision making. This book will cover the recent advances in information reuse and integration.

SCOPE



The scope of the book will be information reuse and integration. The aim of the book is to maximize the reuse of information, tools and services by creating simple, rich, and reusable knowledge representations to explore strategies for integrating this knowledge into legacy systems. A homogeneous set of papers will be selected by considering the following major topics.

Topics of the main areas to be considered:

	Large scale data and system integration
	Component-based design and reuse
	Unifying data models (uml, xml, etc.) And ontologies
	Database integration
	Structured/semi-structured data
	Middleware & web services
	Reuse in software engineering
	Data mining and knowledge discovery
	Sensory and information fusion
	Reuse in modeling & simulation
	Automation, integration and reuse across various applications
	Information security & privacy
	Survivable systems & infrastructures
	AI & decision support systems
	Heuristic optimization and search
	Knowledge acquisition and management
	Fuzzy and neural systems
	Soft computing
	Evolutionary computing
	Case-based reasoning
	Natural language understanding
	Knowledge management and e-government
	Command & control systems (c4isr)
	Human-machine information systems
	Space and robotic systems
	Biomedical & healthcare systems
	Homeland security & critical infrastructure protection
	Manufacturing systems & business process engineering
	Multimedia systems
	Service-oriented architecture
	Autonomous agents in web-based systems
	Information integration in grid computing environments
	Information integration in mobile computing environments
	Information integration in ubiquitous computing environments
	Systems of systems
	Semantic web and emerging applications
	Information reuse, integration and sharing in collaborative
environments

TARGET AUDIENCE



This book will be published to the interest of researchers, practitioners from academia, industry, and government on information reuse and integration.
