Abstract
Information
re-use and integration can be applied to a multitude of areas in the civil,
military, and commercial arenas. In IT, the approach has been applied to
coding, frameworks, and architectures, amongst others. In the commercial
sector, information re-use and integration has been successfully applied to
web services, e-commerce, and VLSI design.
One area
where information re-use and integration can make a major impact is in the
public sector, particularly with the economic constraints that strap
government support. FICOD 2009, the Foro Internacional de Contenidos
Digitales[1], included a panel that addressed the possibilities of
information re-use for the public sector in the European Union. In that
panel, the participants acknowledged that a vast amount of information is
provided to the public, including economic, geographical, weather-related,
tourism-related, and social data. Further dissemination of this data is
provided in many ways. Information reuse and integration can facilitate
efficient construction and delivery of this data to the public.
The focus of
this IEEE IRI 2010 panel is to investigate how information reuse and
integration can impact the US public sector. Panelists will look at not only
the technical issues but also the sociological and cultural issue that need
to be addressed in order for reuse and integration to make a difference in
our country. In particular, come and learn about:
-
Federal
and industrial funding opportunities
-
Economic
trends and solutions
-
Reuse in
simulation and planning
-
Reuse in
socio-cultural-political issue resolution
-
Reuse &
Integration in educational reform
