IRI 2017 - 2017 IEEE International Conference on Information Reuse and Integration (IRI)

The need for dealing with big data and the numerous software and hardware systems developed to deal with these has become increasingly necessary. New data reuse and integration technologies are essential and vital to meeting this big data challenge. Systems development and integration also need to adapt to these new technologies and needs. Reusing existing software components is a good example and has proven benefits. Information Reuse and Integration (IRI) encompasses all approaches for effectively removing redundancy in the representation and exercise of data and knowledge for incorporation into systems and applications. Data integration provides knowledge, which is more compact and is thus of greater utility than the original data. Furthermore, IRI addresses the representation, cleansing, generalization, validation, and reasoning strategies for the scientifically-sound and cost-effective advancement of all systems Ð including software, hardware, and systems of systems (SoS). These non-trivial tasks lead to challenging research problems for example how to optimally select the information/data sets for reuse and how to optimize the integration of existing information/knowledge with new, yet-to-develop information/knowledge sources.
This conference explores three major tracks:information reuse, information integration, and reusable systems(SoS). Information reuse explores theory and practice of information representation and randomization; information integration focuses on innovative strategies and algorithms for fusing sources of data and knowledge; and, reusable systems focuses on developing and integrating collections of systems, which provide novel cost-effective capabilities.
The IEEE IRI conference serves as a forum for researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to present, discuss, and exchange ideas that address real-world problems with real-world solutions. Theoretical and applied papers are both welcome. The conference program will include several plenary speeches from academia, industry, and government; special sessions, open forum workshops, panels, and tutorials (at no extra charge).

* Reuse and integration in VLSI/ SoC, and Computing architectures
