Data science has become the new frontier for business analytics and AI. Such intelligent applications derive from Information Reuse and Integration (IRI). IRI seeks to maximize the utility of information by creating simple, rich, and cost-effective knowledge representations. IRI consequently explores strategies for integrating this knowledge into systems and applications. It plays a pivotal role in the capturing, representation, maintenance, integration, validation, and extrapolation of information and the knowledge derived from it. Additionally, IRI applies both information and knowledge for enhancing decision-making in various application domains.
This conference explores three major tracks: information reuse, information integration, and reusable systems. Information reuse explores the theory and practice of optimizing representations; information integration focuses on innovative strategies and algorithms for unifying diverse information in novel domains; and reusable systems focus on developing and deploying models and corresponding processes that enable Information Reuse and Integration to play a pivotal role in enhancing decision-making processes in various application domains.
The IEEE IRI conference serves as a forum for researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to present, discuss, and exchange ideas that address real-world problems with real-world solutions. Theoretical and applied papers are both included. The conference program will include special sessions, open forum workshops, panels, and keynote speeches. In recent years, the acceptance rate of IRI has been constantly under 30%, maintaining the high quality standard and tradition of our conferernce.
