Abstract :
The SITIS conference is dedicated to research on 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. The goal of the conference is to provide a forum for high quality presentations on research activities centered on two main tracks: (1) The focus of the Internet Based Computing and System IBCS track is on emerging concepts, architectures, methodologies and techniques for 1 modeling, representation and retrieval techniques that take into account the amount, type and diversity of information accessible in distributed computing environment and 2 creating an interconnected world in which information can be exchanged easily, tasks can be processed collaboratively, and communities of users with similarly interests can be formed while addressing security threats that are present more than ever before. (2) The track on Signal & Image Technologies SIT focuses on recent developments in digital signal processing and pays particular attention to evolutions in audiovisual signal processing, analysis, coding and authentication, and retrieval techniques. SITIS 2012 includes 6 workshops run in conjunction with the main conference tracks. They focus on emerging research themes ranging from complex networks, augmented reality, social and semantic networks, semantic driven knowledge and information systems, situation aware computing, distributed and web based information systems to color and multispectral imaging. The workshops provided well focused group discussions to support collaboration between researchers and practitioners and sharing new developments in specific domains.
