ISTA 2009

Information Systems Technology is a core and base discipline of informatics which addresses a variety of technical issues and application domains (e.g., re-engineering, maintenance, natural language processing, business analytics, semantic web technologies, mobile and pervasive computing etc.). We invite submissions of various types on the aforementioned aspects of information systems (IS) and respective technology, including technical papers, case study reports on commercial or experimental applications, education research papers; research demonstrations as well as poster demonstrations.

ISTA 2009 follows the earlier successful conferences in this series held at Klagenfurt, Kharkiv, Salt Lake City, Palmerston North and is integrated into the "United Information Systems Conferences" UNISCON 2009.
