SCOPE AND TOPICS

Nowadays the production of digital contents, data and services has reached a speed never experienced before. Large amounts of content are already on the Web, waiting for being reused both for personal or professional purposes. These contents, including multimedia documents, application tools, and services are being accumulated on the Web, in cloud systems, and in local and global data structures. There is thus a need for new theories and technologies for advanced information search, integration through interoperation, and personalization of digital services. Additionally, in science and technology, with progressively sophisticated research going on, there is a growing need for interdisciplinary availability, distribution and exchange of the latest research results, in organic forms, including not only research papers and multimedia documents, but also various tools developed for measurement, analysis, inference, design, planning, simulation, interaction and production as well as the related large data sets. And similar needs are also rising for the interdisciplinary and international availability, distribution and exchange of ideas and works among artists, musicians, designers, architects, directors, and producers.

In this context, ISIP offers a forum for presenting original work and stimulating discussions and exchanges of ideas around information search, integration of information sources and personalization of information experiences. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Information search in large data sets (databases, digital libraries, data warehouses)
• Comparison of different information search technologies, approaches, and algorithms
• Novel approaches to information search
• Personalized information retrieval and personalized web search
• Data Quality
• Federation of Smart Objects
• (Social) Cyber-Physical Systems
• (Big) Data Analytics for personalization
• Data Mining
• Integration of Web-services, Knowledge bases, Digital libraries
• Machine learning and AI for information-related applications
• Visual and sensory information processing and analysis
• Ontology-based Data Access, Integration, and Management
• Provenance Tracking in the Context of Data Integration
• Privacy in the context of data integration, web data privacy
• Ontology Alignment, Instance Matching, Ontology Mapping

In its 2020 edition, ISIP Workshop is hosted by the Information Processing and Telecommunications Center at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (www.iptc.upm.es). Its Special Topic is “Data-Driven Decision-Making Technologies and Applications”, which includes research outcomes and experiences in infrastructures, analysis strategies and algorithms, workflows, visualization and interaction technologies that facilitates identifying alternatives, modeling beliefs and preferences, assessing resolutions and making choices based on data. Use case and applications for industries such as telecommunications, healthcare, transportation, manufacturing art and media production or fintech are also welcomed.

PAPER SUBMISSION

Submitted papers must be unpublished and should not be under consideration elsewhere at the same time. Papers are expected to be 2-pages extended abstract in two-column style. Papers should be submitted through the Easychair system. All submitted papers will be subject to three or more independent reviews and will be published in the Conference Proceedings.

In a post-workshop call, a number of selected contributions are invited to be extended and published in the Springer series “Communications in Computer and Information Science” (CCIS), following a separated review process.
