Hosted annually from 1996 to 2008 at MIT in Cambridge, MA, the International Conference on Information Quality (ICIQ) will celebrate its 14th anniversary in 2009 in Potsdam, Germany. Each year, the conference attracts numerous researchers and practitioners from the academic academy and both the public and private sectors. In addition to the official program, there are plenty of opportunities for informal discussions. The conference program will include tracks of practice-oriented papers, research papers, and panel sessions. ICIQ strongly encourages practitioners to submit papers that report experiences, lessons, and perspectives.
The 14th International Conference on Information Quality (ICIQ-09) will be held at the Hasso Plattner Institute on November 7.-8.
