As data and knowledge volume keep increasing while global means for
information dissemination continue to diversify, new methods, modeling
paradigms, and structures are needed to support efficiently the mounting
scalability requirements.

 

In the last few years we have seen the proliferation of the use of
heterogeneous distributed systems, ranging from simple Networks of
Workstations, to highly complex Grid Computing environments. Such
computational paradigms have been preferred due to their reduced costs and
inherent scalability, but their efficient usage pose many challenges in
terms of information access, storage and retrieval as well as in terms of
algorithms for efficiently manage, transfer, and analyze huge volume of data
and knowledge.

 

Grid computing, P2P technology, data and knowledge bases, distributed
information retrieval technology, and networking technology should all
converge to address the scalability concern. Furthermore, with the advent of
emerging computing architectures - e.g. SMTs, GPUs, Multicores, etc. - the
importance of designing techniques explicitly targeting these systems, is
becoming more and more important.

 

The Third International Conference on Scalable Information Systems will
focus on a wide array of scalability issues and investigate new approaches
to tackle problems arising from the ever-growing size and complexity of
information of all kinds.

 

The conference invites original technical papers that were not previously
published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere.
Topics include, but are not limited to:

 

 * Scalable Parallel and Distributed Information Retrieval

 * Scalable Grid Information Systems

 * Scalable Peer-to-Peer Systems

 * Scalable Mobile Systems

 * Scalable Web Services

 * Scalable Sensor Networks and Systems

 * Scalable Systems and Conceptual Modeling

 * Scalable Multimedia Information Systems

 * Scalability Issues on Emerging Computing Architectures (SMTs, GPUs,
Multicores)

 * Scalable Data Mining

 * Parallel and Distributed Computing Systems

 * Middleware Technology for Scalable Computing

 * Information Security

 * Architectures for Scalability

 * Networking for Scalable Information Systems

 * Evaluation Metrics for Scalability

 * Enterprise Information Systems and Applications
