Information Reuse and Integration (IRI) seeks to maximize the reuse of information by creating simple, rich, and reusable knowledge representations and consequently explores strategies for integrating this knowledge into systems and applications. IRI plays a pivotal role in the capture, representation, maintenance, integration, validation, and extrapolation of information; and 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 explores theory and practice of optimizing representation; information integration focuses on innovative strategies and algorithms for applying integration approaches 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. The conference includes, but is not limited to, the areas listed below: - Large Scale Data and System Integration - Component-Based Design and Reuse - Unifying Data Models (UML, XML, etc.) and Ontologies - Database Integration - Structured/Semi-structured Data - Middleware & Web Services - Reuse in Software Engineering - Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery - Sensory and Information Fusion - Reuse in Modeling & Simulation - Automation, Integration and Reuse across Various Applications - Information Security & Privacy - Survivable Systems & Infrastructures - AI & Decision Support Systems - Heuristic Optimization and Search - Knowledge Acquisition and Management - Fuzzy and Neural Systems - Soft Computing - Evolutionary Computing - Case-Based Reasoning - Natural Language Understanding - Knowledge Management and E-Government - Command & Control Systems (C4ISR) - Human-Machine Information Systems - Space and Robotic Systems - Biomedical & Healthcare Systems - Homeland Security & Critical Infrastructure Protection - Manufacturing Systems & Business Process Engineering - Multimedia Systems - Service-Oriented Architecture - Autonomous Agents in Web-based Systems - Information Integration in Grid Computing Environments - Information Integration in Mobile Computing Environments - Information Integration in Ubiquitous Computing Environments - Systems of Systems - Semantic Web and Emerging Applications - Information Reuse, Integration and Sharing in Collaborative Environments Best Paper Award: Starting this year, IEEE IRI will be presenting a Best Paper award.

Therefore, studying how a system interacts with the environment, or how simple components give rise to the global collective behavior of the system, or even how parts of a system interact with each other, is nowadays one of the most challenging and interesting research areas in every discipline because of its utmost relevance. In the field of complex systems there currently exist several sophisticated tools that can help us to study the systems in an in-depth manner, through analytical models, and from a computational point of view, describing their model and the way it is simulated. This special issue aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the field of complex systems, particularly in regards to the development of new analytical models and novel applications, as well as on the design of new nature-inspired optimization algorithms. Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers on any topics related to complex systems. * Important dates Manuscript submission: July 8, 2011. Notification of acceptance/revisions/rejection: September 8, 2011. Revised manuscript submission: November 8, 2011. Notification final decision: December 8, 2011. Final manuscript submission: January 8, 2012. * Submission Guidelines All manuscripts should be submitted electronically to the Memetic Computing editorial manager at https://www.editorialmanager.com/meme/ All submitted papers will undergo a blind peer-review process. The authors should select the article type "SI: Optimization on Complex Systems" while submitting their paper for this special issue.
