THEME:

The 1st International Conference on Information Systems & Software Engineering aims to provide an excellent opportunity for academics, scientists, industry experts and students to present and discuss a range of topics in the areas of emerging technologies and application in the areas of knowledge management and development of quality software.
The information explosion in the recent years has driven focus to technologies required to manage and effectively use the data. Continuous innovation in the algorithms, processing power and the methodologies has ensured increased accuracy of the information retrieved. The industry driven demand for high standards and interoperability have made it imperative for a systematic approach to development of such systems. In this sense there seems to be a seamless extension of concepts between knowledge engineering and software engineering. This special issue aims to study how the methodologies and approach in one can be applied in the other.


IMPORTANT NOTE

This special issue is based on a collection of best papers presented at ICISSE 09: International Conference on Information Systems & Software Engineering. Although public submissions are welcome, authors are encouraged to submit their papers to ICISSE 09 for presentation before the conference submission due date of June 15, 2009 (Papers must be sent to: papers@icisse.org. For more details visit: http://www.icisse.org/). Papers submitted to this special issue via the JMS portal will be reviewed after the ICISSE 09 conference, rather than on the normal rolling basis.
