TRACK ON WEB COMPUTING AND APPLICATIONS (WeCA)


The 9th International Conference on
SIGNAL IMAGE TECHNOLOGY & INTERNET-BASED SYSTEMS (SITIS 13)
December 2 - 5, 2013

In cooperation with ACM SIGAPP French Chapter and
IEEE Technical Committee on Multimedia Computing

Kyoto Terrsa, Japan

======================================================================

The focus of the track titled "Web Computing and Applications (WeCA)" is on emerging and
novel concepts, architectures, technologies, and methodologies for information management
related to the Web and cloud computing. In essence, the Web, with its different versions,
has created an interconnected world in which information can be exchanged easily, tasks
can be processed collaboratively, communities of users with similarly interests can be
formed to achieve efficiency and improve performance, etc. Taking full advantage of these
interconnected environments to meet the ever increasing needs of emerging applications
requires solutions that address new issues and challenges.

The track calls for research papers and reports related, but not limited, to the
following topics:


Data semantics
Ontologies
Conceptual Data Modeling
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
Metadata
Evolution and Change
Semantic Caching
