==========
SCOPE
==========

The International Conference on Network-Based Information Systems (NBiS) started as an International Workshop 
in 1998, which was held in Vienna, Austria in conjunction with DEXA International Conference. 
From 1998, NBiS had been held successfully every year and high quality papers are presented. 
After the 9-th NBiS, which was held at Krakow, Poland in 2006, NBiS was promoted to an International 
Conference and the 10-th NBiS was held in Regensburg, Germany in 2007 as International Conference.  

NBiS is becoming a very important event for network research community and is improved every year 
in quality and quantity. The NBiS International Conference is going around the world in all continents.
NBIS-2009 was held in Indianapolis, USA and NBiS -2010 was held in Takayama, Japan.
The 14-th NBiS will be held at Polytechnic University of Tirana, Albania from September 7 to 9, 2011.
Tirana is a the capital city of Albania. For more information please see the following URL:
http://www.albanian.com/main/countries/albania/tirana/index.html.

The main objective of NBiS is to bring together researchers from both network systems and information 
systems with the aim of encouraging the exchange of ideas and experience between these two communities. 
It will represent an international forum to give an overview of the most recent trends. In the past decade, 
our network infrastructure has undergone radical changes. It has evolved from a small number of
interconnected computer networks to a global socio-technical infrastructure, where people communicate and 
interact spontaneously in cyber space and with the cyber physical world, create content and share knowledge 
over a network of heterogeneous networks. In the future, global society will increasingly rely on 
socio-technical networks designed in harmony with societal values and  economic viability, with enhanced 
security, privacy, resilience, availability and manageability, and the ability to incorporate as yet 
unforeseen technologies, applications and  services.

Future networks should be available anytime and anywhere, be accessible from any communication device, 
require little or no management overhead, be resilient to failures and malicious attacks, and be trustworthy 
for all types of communication. They must be able to evolve over time to incorporate new technologies, 
support new classes of applications, and meet new requirements and challenges. They also need to accommodate 
growth and unforeseen changes across many dimensions, including traffic load, network size and topology, 
physical link characteristics, different types of applications, and heterogeneity, without significant 
performance degradation.

The conference scope ranges from home networks with numerous "smart" appliances to enterprise networks, 
core networks, and application-level networks. 

The NBiS-2011 seeks original contributions in all relevant areas, including but not limited to the 
following topics.

==========
Aims and Scope
==============

The 2-nd International Conference on Emerging Intelligent Data and Web Technologies (EIDWT-2011) is 
dedicated to the dissemination of original contributions that are related to the theories, practices 
and concepts of emerging data technologies yet most importantly of their applicability in business 
and academia towards a collective intelligence approach. In particular, EIDWT-2011 will discuss 
advances about utilizing and exploiting data generated from emerging data technologies such as 
Data Centers, Data Grids, Clouds, Crowds, Mashups, Social Networks and/or other Web 2.0 
implementations towards a collaborative and collective intelligence approach leading to advancements 
of virtual organizations and their user communities. This is because, current and future Web and Web 2.0 
implementations will store and continuously produce a vast amount of data, which if combined and 
analyzed through a collective intelligence manner will make a difference in the organizational 
settings and their user communities. Thus, the scope of EIDWT-2011 is to discuss methods and 
practices (including P2P) which bring various emerging data technologies together to capture, 
integrate, analyze, mine, annotate and visualize data - made available from various community 
users - in a meaningful and collaborative for the organization manner. Finally, EIDWT-2011 aims 
to provide a forum for original discussion and prompt future directions in the area.

Topics:

Papers should be focused on past, current and emerging methods and/or use of data technologies 
with a particular focus to collective intelligence. For example: Data Stream, Click stream, 
Cloud Computing, Crowd Computing, Data Annotation, Data Architecture, Data Capture, Data 
Clustering/Partitioning, Data Discovery/Management, Data Grids, Data Integration, Data Management 
and Knowledge Engineering, Data Mashups, Data Query Systems and Languages, Data Push/Notification, 
Data Scheduling, Data/Text Mining, P2P, Reality Mining, Data Visualization, Emerging Applications, 
Emerging/Enabling Collaborative Data Technologies, Trust and Security, Web Science, Web 2.0, 
Ubiquitus Intelligence.

The main topic areas include, but are not limited to:

o Critical Reviews on Theory and Practices in Collective Intelligence
o User Communities/Virtual Organizational Structures and Dynamics
o Ad-Hoc Social Networking Analysis, Business Intelligence
o Self-organising Systems and Networks
o Self-adaptive Ant Colony, Swarm and Evolutionary Agents
