THEME

As data and knowledge volumes keep increasing while global meansfor information dissemination continue to diversify, new methods, modeling paradigms, and structures are needed to efficiently support the mounting scalability requirements for the large variety of current and future data, information, and knowledge. Grid computing, P2P technology, data and knowledge bases, distributed information retrieval technology, and networking technology should all converge to address the scalability concern. The Second International Conference on Scalable Information Systems will focus on a wide array of scalability issues and investigate new approaches for tackling problems arising from the ever-growing size and complexity of information of all kinds.

TOPICS

Topics will include, but not are limited to:•
*Parallel Information 
*Retrieval•Scalable Distributed Information 
*Retrieval•Scalable Grid Information Systems
*Scalable Peer-to-Peer Systems
*Scalable Sensor Networks and Systems
*Scalable multimedia information systems
*Scalable system and conceptual modeling 
*Scalable Mobile Systems
*Scalable Web Services
*Parallel and Distributed Computing Systems
*Very Large Databases
*Data Mining
*Index Compression Methods
*Information Security•
*Middleware technology for scalable computing
*Architectures for Scalability
*Networking for Scalable Information Systems
*Evaluation Metrics for Scalability
*Enterprise information systems and applications
