Track Open Source Software Development and Solutions (OSSDS)
The 4th International SITIS 2008 conference
November 30th - December 3rd, 2008
Bali Dynasty Resort
Bali, Indonesia
(in cooperation with IEEE CS, ACM Sig App, IFIP TC 2 WG 2.13)
Objectives:
The SITIS conference is dedicated to research on the technologies used to represent,
share and process information in various forms, ranging from signal, image, and multimedia data
to traditional structured data and semi-structured data found in the web. SITIS spans two
inter-related research domains that increasingly play a key role in connecting systems across
network centric environments to allow distributed computing and information sharing.
SITIS 2008 aims to provide a forum for high quality presentations on research activities centered
on four main tracks. This track focuses on new software engineering method for Open Source Software
Development and Solution (OSSDS) in distributed and large scaled environments, strategies for promoting,
adopting, using Open Source Solutions and case studies or success stories in specific domains.
SITIS is also dedicated to bring together scientists from the world over, particularly from developing
countries, to share and exchange knowledge, experience and research results. When the conference is hosted
by research institutions in developing countries, a particular emphasis will be placed on the presentation
of applied research, the organization of practical tutorials and workshops that may help address the
information processing needs of these countries, and book give away sessions to allow conference attendees
to donate books to the local institutions.
Important Dates:
Tutorial proposals July 15 th, 2008
Paper Submission June 15th, 2008
Acceptance/Reject notification August 15th, 2008
Final paper/registration September 7th, 2008
Submission and publication
The conference will include keynote addresses, tutorials and regular and workshop sessions. SITIS 20007 invites
submission of high quality and original papers on the topics of the major tracks described below. All submitted
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 10 pages and follow IEEE double columns publication format.
Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and published IEEE Computer Society and
referenced in IEEE explore and major indexes. The proceedings will be mailed by the IEEE CS press directly to
registered authors after the conference. CD copies of the proceeding will be available during the conference.
Selected accepted papers will be considered for publication in major journal.
