Next generation information technologies and systems

Meer over het boek

Information technology is a rapidly evolving field that requires researchers and developers to focus on future technologies and the systems they support. The Next-Generation Information Technologies and Systems (NGITS) series of workshops serves as a platform for discussing the latest advancements in this area. Internationally held in Israel, previous workshops occurred in 1993, 1995, 1997, 1999, and 2002. The 2006 workshop received 138 diverse paper submissions, presenting a significant challenge for the Program Committee. Each submission underwent rigorous review by at least three experts, resulting in the selection of 32 papers (less than 25%) for presentation and inclusion in the proceedings. This selection comprises 28 full-length papers and 4 short papers. Additionally, several research works were chosen for poster presentations, and various research projects showcased demonstrations. The workshop also featured three keynote lectures by distinguished experts. The selected papers can be categorized into ten broad areas, including information systems development, distributed systems, semi-structured data, data mining, user-oriented design, frameworks, simulation, information integration, security, and next-generation applications. This event represents the culmination of efforts by many dedicated individuals.
