Given the emerging global Information-centric IT landscape that has
tremendous social and economic implications, effectively processing
and integrating very large volumes of information from diverse sources
to enable effective decision making and knowledge generation have
become one of the most significant challenges of current times.
Information Reuse and Integration (IRI) seeks to maximize the reuse
of information by creating simple, rich, and reusable knowledge
representations and consequently explores strategies for integrating
this knowledge into circuits design, devices, systems and applications.
IRI plays a pivotal role in the capture, representation, maintenance,
integration, validation/verification, and extrapolation of information;
and, applies both information and knowledge for enhancing design and
implementation, decision-making, and knowledge management in various
domains including hardware design, system implementation, software
engineering, knowledge management, and applications ? to name a few.
The conference includes, but is not limited to, the areas listed below:
Reuse and integration in VLSI/ SoC, and Computing architectures
Large Scale Data and System Integration
