                        The 2006 International Conference on
                SIGNAL-IMAGE TECHNOLOGY & INTERNET- BASED SYSTEMS (SITIS 06)
                        Sponsored by IEEE and ACM (approval pending)

                        December 17th - December 21st 2006
                                The MARCO POLO Hotel
                                Hammamet, Tunisia
                        http://www.u-bourgogne.fr/sitis

The SITIS conference is dedicated to research on the technologies used to represent, share and process information in various forms,
ranging from signal, imag= e, and multimedia data to traditional data and semi-structured data found in the web.
SITIS 2006 aims to provide a forum for high quality presentations on rese= arch activities centered on three main tracks.

The focus of the first track "Information Management & Retrieval Technolo= gies"
(IMRT)
is on the emerging modeling, representation and retrieval techniques that=  take into account the amount, type and diversity of
information accessible in distributed computing environment.
The main topics of Interest include:

- Data Semantics
- Spatial Information Systems and Applications
- Multimedia and application
- Information security.

The second track "Web-Based Information Technologies & Distributed System= s"
(WITDS) is devoted to
emerging and novel concepts, architectures and methodologies for creating interconnected environments in which information can be
exchanged easily, tasks can be processed collaboratively, and communities of users with similarly interests can be formed while
addressing security threats that are present more than ever before. The main topics of Interest include:

- Information System Interoperability
- Emergent semantics
- Agent-based systems
- Distributed, Parallel, GRID, P2P, Mobile information management
- Web-Centric Systems

The third track "Signal & Image Technologies" (SIT) focuses on recent developments in digital signal processing and pays particular
attention to evolutions in audiovisual sig= nal processing, analysis, coding and authentication, and retrieval techniques. The main
topics of Interest
include:

- Image Processing and Analysis
- Image/Video Coding and Authentication
- Signal processing
- Applications



Submissions must be in electronic form as PDF or PS files and should be u= ploaded through the SITIS 2006 Web site.
Submissions should be 3000-4000 words long (approx. 8-12 double-space pri= nted pages).
Papers that fail to comply with length limit will be rejected.
Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 2 qualified reviewers.
Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, origina= lity, technical soundness, and quality of presentation.
Preference will be given to submissions that=  take strong or challenging positions on important emergent topics. At least one
author should attend the confe= rence to present the paper.

Tutorial and Workshop proposals should be submitted to sitis@u-bourgogne.= fr.
