Scope

Data and information are crucial in providing evidence based decision making in many aspect of human activities, as an individual or as a group. The way information and communication technology are used to collect, process, analysis and store data has always evolves. New techniques are invented, existing techniques are improved and old techniques are integrated to the new. Each of these provided some challenges and opportunities to our research community in finding the best way to meet these challenges. iiWAS provides research community with the opportunity to share and discuss their ideas. 

Prior to 2020, iiWAS has been held in Munich (2019), Yogyakarta (2018), Salzburg (2017), Singapore (2016), Brussels (2015), Hanoi (2014), Vienna (2013), Bali (2012), Ho Chi Minh City (2011), Paris (2010), Kuala Lumpur (2009), and Linz (2008). iiWAS2020, iiWAS2021 and iiWAS2022 conferences were held as virtual conferences. iiWAS2023 was held as in person conference in Bali, Indonesia, iiWAS2024 was held in person in Bratislava, Slovak Republic, and iiWAS2025 was held in person in Matsue, Japan.

Submissions

iiWAS accepted four different types of contributions:
- Original theoretical work:  The contributions are expected to show original work that provide foundations to further progress research in the area. Rigorous proofs and/or performance measurements are expected for this type of contribution.
- Real life case study:  The contributions are expected to show a real life case study of an adopted concept and technology. The analysis of the case study should provide an original insight and findings, backing up by data collected from experiments and/or observation.
- Experimental work:  The contributions are expected to show reporting of rigorous comparative experiments of existing algorithms/systems to provide insight to the current state of the art in a research domain.
- Lessons learnt reports: The contributions are expected to show lessons learnt from adoption of complex technology integration or implementation.
