Subject: [ica-opensource] SITIS 2009 - Track on "Open Source Software Development and Solution" (OSSDS)
############################################################################
The 5th International Conference on Signal Image Technology and Internet
Based Systems (SITIS'09)
November 29 - December 3, 2009
Farah Kenzi Hotel
Marrakech, Morocco
http://www.u-bourgogne.fr/SITIS
In cooperation with ACM SigApp.fr, IFIP TC 2 WG 2.13, IEEE (pending)
############################################################################
*** extended deadline : August 3rd, 2009 ***
The SITIS conference is dedicated to research on the technologies used
to represent, share and process information in various forms, ranging
multimedia data to traditional structured data and semi-structured data
found in the web.
SITIS spans two inter-related research domains that increasingly play a
key role in connecting systems across network centric environments to
allow distributed computing and information sharing.
SITIS 2009 aims to provide a forum for high quality presentations on
research activities centered on the following tracks:
* The focus of the track "Information Management & Retrieval
Technologies" (IMRT) is on the emerging modeling, representation and
retrieval techniques that take into account the amount, type and
diversity of information accessible in distributed computing
environment. The topics include data semantics and ontologies, spatial
information systems, Multimedia databases, Information retrieval and
search engine, and applications.
* The track "Web-Based Information Technologies & Distributed Systems"
(WITDS) is devoted to emerging and novel concepts, architectures and
methodologies for 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. The
topics include information system interoperability, emergent semantics,
agent-based systems, distributed and parallel information management,
grid, P2P, web-centric systems, web security and integrity issues.
* The track "Open Source Software Development and Solution" (OSSDS)
focuses on new software engineering method in distributed and large
scaled environments, strategies for promoting, adopting, and using Open
Source Solutions and case studies or success stories in specific
domains. The topics include software engineering methods, users and
communities' interactions, software development platforms, open Source
developments and project management, applications domain, case studies.
In addition to the above tracks, SITIS 2009 includes workshops. The
final list of workshop will be provided later.
Submission and publication
--------------------------
The conference will include keynote addresses, tutorials, and regular
and workshop sessions. SITIS 2009 invites submission of high quality and
original papers on the topics of the major tracks described below. All
submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers for
technical merit, originality, significance and relevance to track topics.
Papers must be up to 8 pages and follow IEEE double columns publication
format. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings
and published by IEEE Computer Society and referenced in IEEE explore
and major indexes.

Track Open Source Software Development and Solutions (OSSDS)
IFIP TC 2 WG 2.13
-------------------------------------------------------------
The focus of this track is on new software engineering method for
Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) development in distributed
and large scaled environments, strategies for promoting, adopting, using
FLOSS solutions and case studies or success stories in specific domains.
Software Engineering methods, users and communities interactions,
software development platforms:
* Architecture and patterns for FLOSS development
* Testing and reliability of FLOSS
* Software engineering methods in distributed collaborative
environments
* Licencing and other legal issues
* Documentation of FLOSS projects
* CASE tool to support FLOSS development
* Agile principles and FLOSS development
* Mining in FLOSS projects
Applications domain, case studies, success stories:
* Geospatial software, services and applications
* Bioinformatics
* FLOSS for e-government and e-administration
* FLOSS in public sector (e.g. education, healthcare...)
* FLOSS solutions for data intensive applications
* FLOSS and SOA, middleware, applications servers
* FLOSS for critical applications
* FLOSS in Grid and P2P environments
* Tools and infrastructures for FLOSS development
* Scientific computing
* Simulation tools
* Security tools
Development and project management:
* Ecology of FLOSS development
* FLOSS stability, maintainability and scalability
* FLOSS evaluation, mining FLOSS data
* FLOSS and innovation
* Experiments, reports, field studies and empirical analysis
* FLOSS for teaching software engineering
* Revenue models
* Security concerns in using FLOSS
* Users involvement in design and development of FLOSS
* Building sustainable communities
