The 2009 Infoscience, Infoengineering and Infotechnology Forum (Infosci 2009) 2009 Systemics and Informatics World Network (SIWN 2009) Leipzig, Germany, 23-25 March 2009 http://siwn.org.uk/2009leipzig/infoscience09.htm Infoscience, Infoengineering and Infotechnology are one of the most important scientific and technological advances of the 21st century. The Infosci 2009 Forum will be a unique and world first opportunity to exchange in-depth thoughts upon and to shape the future towards the foundations and fundamental problems of information processing, computation, communications, knowledge, semantics, problem solving, etc. Important Dates (New) Monday 26 January 2009 Submission of manuscripts 31 January 2009 Notification of acceptance 15 February 2009 Camera-Ready Version (CRV) due Submission & Publication Submissions must be original contributions that neither have been published nor have been under review for publication elsewhere. All submissions must be in English and no more than 7 pages in the format specified in the Instructions for Authors, which are available on http://siwn.org.uk/press/ita.htm. To submit a paper, a file in pdf format containing the manuscript of submission must be uploaded to the 2009 Infoscience Forum submission website http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=infosci09 Decision on acceptance of a manuscript will be according to the relevance, technical merits and especially the novelty of the manuscript. Accepted papers will be included in the CD-ROM Proceedings of SIWN 2009, which will be available for participants at the Conferences to promote the widest exchange and dissemination at the Conferences. All accepted papers of the conference are invited to publish their revised versions in the international journal <> (CoSIWN, http://siwn.org.uk/cosiwn/) (ISSN 1757-4439) after the conference.
