Please find hereafter a call for papers for a new track of the SITIS
conference dedicated to Open Source Software Development and Solutions.
Open source is more and more a subject of study in the scientific
community ... great!

It is also worth mentioning the "Geospatial software, services and
applications" topic with could be of interest for our community.

I do not know if there is an Indonesian local chapter but do not
hesitate to forward this call for papers to students, colleagues and
other lists if you think they can be interested in.

Sorry for cross posting,

        Track Open Source Software Development and Solutions (OSSDS)

                The 4th International SITIS 2008 conference
                     November 30th - December 3rd, 2008
                             Bali Dynasty Resort
                               Bali, Indonesia
        (in cooperation with IEEE CS, ACM Sig App, IFIP TC 2 WG 2.13)


Objectives:
----------

The SITIS conference is dedicated to research on the technologies used
to represent, share and process information in various forms, ranging
from signal, image, and multimedia data to traditional structured data
and semi-structured data found in the web. SITIS spans two inter-related
research domains that increasingly play a key role in connecting systems
across network centric environments to allow distributed computing and
information sharing.

SITIS 2008 aims to provide a forum for high quality presentations on
research activities centered on four main tracks. This track focuses on
new software engineering method for Open Source Software Development and
Solution (OSSDS) in distributed and large scaled environments,
strategies for promoting, adopting, using Open Source Solutions and case
studies or success stories in specific domains.

SITIS is also dedicated to bring together scientists from the world
over, particularly from developing countries, to share and exchange
knowledge, experience and research results. When the conference is
hosted by research institutions in developing countries, a particular
emphasis will be placed on the presentation of applied research, the
organization of practical tutorials and workshops that may help address
the information processing needs of these countries, and book give away
sessions to allow conference attendees to donate  books to the local
institutions.


Important Dates:
---------------
Tutorial proposals                      July 15th, 2008
Paper Submission                        July 15th, 2008
Acceptance/Reject notification          August 15th, 2008
Final paper/registration                September 7th, 2008


Submission and publication:
--------------------------

The conference will include keynote addresses, tutorials and regular and
workshop sessions. SITIS 20007 invites submission of high quality and
original papers on the topics of the major tracks described below. All
submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers for
technical merit, originality, significance and relevance to track
topics.  Papers must be up to 10 pages and follow IEEE double columns
publication format. All submissions are online at:
http://www.u-bourgogne.fr/SITIS/08/

Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and
published IEEE Computer Society and referenced in IEEE explore and major
indexes. The proceedings will be mailed by the IEEE CS press directly to
registered authors after the conference. CD copies of the proceeding
will be available during the conference.

Selected accepted papers will be considered for publication in major
journal.
