Subject: JoDI CfP on Distributed Information Management
This message is to all registered users of Journal of Digital Information.
We are pleased to announce a Call for Papers for a forthcoming special
issue of JoDI on
Distributed Information Management
Guest editor: David De Roure, University of Southampton, UK
The important dates are:
Submission deadline: February 2, 2001
Publication date: April 2001
There has been much comment recently about the emergence of Peer-to-Peer
(P2P) networks. The broader context for this is Distributed Information
Management (DIM). JoDI is producing an authoritative special issue on DIM,
and papers are invited for consideration. Below is the guest editor's 'call
for papers', which can also be found at
http://jodi.ecs.soton.ac.uk/calls/dim.html
Submission should be via the form at
http://jodi.ecs.soton.ac.uk/form.php3
Scope
The increase in scale and complexity of distributed information systems,
and in the heterogeneity of their digital content, brings a new set of
scientific and engineering challenges. For example, how well do
established techniques scale up to very large volumes or huge diversity of
information? How do we maintain access to digital content when networked
resources are not always available? How do we handle ownership and control
issues? Can content be self-organising?
The aim of this special issue is to identify challenges and explore
solutions in the distributed information management field, by
drawing together contributions from experts in the major areas.
Topics
Papers are invited in the following areas (this list is not exhaustive):
- Research issues; e.g. 'Ten issues in distributed information management'
- Case studies, e.g. experience of large-scale DIM projects
- Survey papers
- Futurology - impact of technology trends on distributed information
management systems
- Scaleable models and techniques for accessing, browsing and searching
the distributed multimedia information space
- Preservation issues in distributed information systems
- Specification and implementation of access policies
- Methodologies for building distributed multimedia information systems
- Management of information evolution and of inconsistency
- Emergent computing techniques applied to DIM
- Grid computing - building an information grid
- DIM issues in pervasive computing systems
- Working with live information
- Integration of distributed multimedia information systems
- Metadata and ontology issues in the distributed context
- Distributed systems issues at the information level
- Metrics for evaluation of distributed information systems
