The 4th International SITIS 2008 conference
November 30th - December 3rd, 2008
Bali Dynasty Resort
Bali, Indonesia
(in cooperation with IEEE Signal Processing and ACM Sig App, approval pending ?.)

Objectives
The SITIS conference is dedicated to research on the 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. 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 2006 aims to provide a forum for high quality presentations on research activities centered on four main tracks. The focus of the first 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 second 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 third track titled ?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. The fourth track focuses on new software engineering method for Open Source Software Development and Solution (OSSDS) in distributed and large scaled environments, strategies for promoting, adopting, using Open Source Solutions and case studies or success stories in specific domains.

SITIS is also dedicated to bring together scientists from the world over, particularly from developing countries, to share and exchange knowledge, experience and research results. When the conference is hosted by research institutions in developing countries, a particular emphasis will be placed on the presentation of applied research, the organization of practical tutorials and workshops that may help address the information processing needs of these countries, and book give away sessions to allow conference attendees to donate? books to the local institutions.

Important Dates
Tutorial proposals			July 25th, 2008
Paper Submission			July 25th, 2008
Acceptance/Reject notification		August 30th, 2008
Final paper/registration			September 15th, 2008

Submission and publication 
The conference will include keynote addresses, tutorials and regular and workshop sessions. SITIS 20007 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 10 pages and follow IEEE double columns publication format. 

Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and published IEEE Computer Society and referenced in IEEE explore and major indexes. The proceedings will be mailed by the IEEE CS press directly to registered authors after the conference. CD copies of the proceeding will be available during the conference. Selected accepted papers will be considered for publication in major journal.
