This year's conference theme addresses all aspects of Knowledge Acquisition and Management as they relate to the design, implementation, and maintenance of large-scale systems. This theme was selected to reflect the interdependency among AI, multimedia, networking, software and systems engineering, telecommunications, etc. within the context of reuse and integration. The IEEE International Conference on Information Reuse and Integration will feature contributed as well as invited papers. Theoretical and application papers are all included in this call. The conference program will include special sessions and open forum workshops. Moreover, several funding agency program directors – including NSF, ONR, et al. – will present an open panel discussion entitled, “Funding Opportunities in Information Reuse and Knowledge Management”.

The focus of the conference includes, but is not limited to, the areas listed below:
