MOTIVATION

Tremendous effort is invested in producing valuable information and tools. Reuse and integration are

essential concepts that must be enforced to avoid duplicating the effort and reinventing the wheel each

time the same field is to be investigated from a different perspective. In organizations, we witness high

volumes of data from different sources form a big threat for filtering out the information for effective

decision making. This book will cover the recent advances in information reuse and integration.

SCOPE

The scope of the book will be information reuse and integration. The aim of the book is to maximize the reuse

of information, tools and services by creating simple, rich, and reusable knowledge representations to

explore strategies for integrating this knowledge into legacy systems. A homogeneous set of papers will

be selected by considering the following major topics.

Topics of the main areas to be considered:

Large scale data and system integration

Component-based design and reuse

Unifying data models (uml, xml, etc.) And ontologies

Database integration

Structured/semi-structured data

Middleware & web services

Reuse in software engineering

Data mining and knowledge discovery

Sensory and information fusion

Reuse in modeling & simulation

Automation, integration and reuse across various applications

Information security & privacy

Survivable systems & infrastructures

AI & decision support systems

Heuristic optimization and search

Knowledge acquisition and management

Fuzzy and neural systems

Soft computing

Evolutionary computing

Case-based reasoning

Knowledge management and e-government

Command & control systems (c4isr)

Human-machine information systems

Space and robotic systems

Biomedical & healthcare systems

Homeland security & critical infrastructure protection

Manufacturing systems & business process engineering

Multimedia systems

Service-oriented architecture

Autonomous agents in web-based systems

Information integration in grid computing environments

Information integration in mobile computing environments

Information integration in ubiquitous computing environments

Systems of systems
