The ISSA (Intelligent Systems, Services and Applications) track of the 16th
international conference SITIS will focus on emerging concepts,
architectures, protocols, and methodologies for information management on
modern distributed systems such as Cloud, Edge, Fog, and IoT. Nowadays,
unlimited number of smart objects are connected with the scope of making our
environment more interactive. Information can be exchanged easily, tasks can
be processed collaboratively, devices and objects can be efficiently
connected, communities of users with similar interests can be formed to
achieve their goals proficiently and improve performance. New issues and
challenges are emerging in this pervasive and collaborative world ranging
from the need for high-accurate decision systems able to adapt to changing
environments to the need of protecting the safety, security and privacy of
the users, which are increasingly seen as yet another component of these
systems. To address the above issues and challenges, modern systems and
applications are increasingly based on ML/AI models made available thanks to
the huge amount of data and the increased networking performance (e.g., 5G
low latency). In this context, the data produced by the environment defined
a paradigm named “Big Data”. In recent years, “Big Data” has become a new
ubiquitous term. Big Data is transforming science, engineering, medicine,
healthcare, finance, business, and ultimately our society itself.

Novel architectures and solutions are being proposed promoting this incoming
Intelligent Web era, ranging over enhanced machine-to-machine
communications, resource sharing and processing of linked data and devices,
distributed computing and cooperative systems, mobile information systems
and services, semantic-based applications and intelligent data processing,
advanced distributed learning and AI model ensemble strategies to state a
few examples. On top of this, novel data security and privacy protocols, as
well as assurance and certification approaches, need to be designed and
implemented to guarantee a given level of trustworthiness and reliability on
modern systems and applications.

ISSA track aims to provide an international forum for researchers,
professionals, and industrial practitioners to share their experiences and
knowledge in this growing and highly important area of internet and Web
technologies.
