The SITIS conference is dedicated to research on the technologies used to represent, share and process
information in various forms, ranging from signal, image, and multimedia data to traditional structured data and semistructured data found in the web.
SITIS spans two interrelated research domains that increasingly play a key role in connecting systems across network centric environments to allow distributed computing and information sharing.  The focus of the track on Internet Based Systems and Applications is on emerging and novel concepts, architectures and methodologies for information management. Novel architectures are being proposed to allow resource sharing and distributed processing of data with increasing complexity. Peer to peer computing, mobile information systems, semantic based applications, and decision support systems are a few examples of these applications and systems.
