IKE'10 Special Session: Global Contextual Processing and Foundations, Issues and Management Implementation

Dear Colleagues,

My colleagues and I are attempting to organize a special session at WorldComp10 on the emerging field of global contextual processing. A new book on the subject will be published next summer by CRC press, Global Contextual Processing, Vert, Iyengar, Phoha.

Global contextual processing research argues that the major components of current IT systems and approaches should be redesigned to consider contextual information in processing and thus provide much more powerful IT systems. Such systems could operate at a global scale more effectively than now currently exists. Research could support the development of the next generation of information systems and the web. This is a new integrated area derived from semantic web research, security modelling, data mining, advance data repository development, logic and hyper distibution and dissemination of information. New models have been developed in all of these areas but need further research and development. The emerging topic is particularly well suited to graduate student dissertation research because of the wide range of new subject matter that still requires research.

I invite you to submit a paper on the topic in any of the following areas or new ones that you feel you you’d like to write about. Papers may be research, surveys, experiments, field studies or opinion. Topics for papers, posters and overview survey papers may come from but are not limited to all areas of Computer Science, Law, Information Systems, Knowledge Management, Security, Data Mining, Data Fusion, Operations Research, Management and Collaborative Systems. Some candidate areas are :

• MIS models of contextual computation
• Contextual networks operation, routing, modeling, design
• Hyperdistribution of information
• Consumer Producer models in information systems
• Knowledge Management operation a large scale
• Contextual security models
• Contextual data Mining
• Green Computing in Contextual Processing
• Methods of global security
• Law and legal issues for global information sharing
• Human models of collaboration and interaction of information
• Information storage and management in a global model
• Fuzzy retrieval and management of information
• Data fusions in context
• Data mining in context
• Marketing using contextual information
• Processing of Contexts
• Knowledge derivation from contexts
• Geography and contexts
• Spatial – Temporal management of context models
• Modeling contextual processing
• Design, development and use of information systems to support Contextual Processing
• Cross -cultural issues affecting contextual processing
• Theoretical developments in contextual processing
• Enablers and barriers to contextual processing.
• Property rights/ intellectual property issues in contextual processing
• Tools support for contextual processing
• Education and training in contextual processing
• Economics of contextual processing
• Business facets of contextual processing.
• Empirical results on the applicability and effectiveness of contextual processing
• Case studies and experiments on the use of contextual processing.
• Modeling Knowledge Intensive Contextual Processes
• Contextual processing for creativity and innovation
• Social and Distributed Cognition in Contextual Processing

Please send papers to myself or Dr. Chennamaneni by March 15, 2010. Accepted papers will be published in the IKE'10 conference proceedings. All conference proceedings are planned be indexed in Inspec / IET / The Institute for Engineering and Technology, DBLP / Computer Science Bibliography, and others.
