Both Thouraya and Lotfi were among the warmest of personalities. They will be missed, but not forgotten. <p class="text-justify"></p> <div class="collapse" id="collapse_eulogy"> <p class="text-justify"> <em><strong>Professor Lotfi Zadeh</strong></em> was a frequent keynote speaker at IRI conferences. He showed us how reuse was an inherently fuzzy concept – setting the stage for knowledge acquisition. He taught us that when someone insults you, you take it as a compliment. Moreover, Professor Zadeh entwined a sense of humor, hard work, and good science with a sense of adventure. Fuzzy numbers were extensions of logic. Computing with words was an extension of speech. He held that nothing is worth doing unless you believed in it; and, if you don’t believe in yourself, the outside world will not believe in your words either. Professor Zadeh will be missed; albeit, he will be by our side in death as in life. </p> <p class="text-justify"> <em><strong>Professor Thouraya Bouabana-Tebibel</strong></em> ran the conferences formal workshop for many years. She was a kind soul, an ardent researcher, and an excellent educator. She published many conference papers and pursued formal approaches to data science. Professor Tebibel will be remembered for her tireless efforts, her many students, and her pursuit of AI through reuse and randomization. The conference cannot be the same without her; but, her teachings surely put us all on the road to success. Professor Tebibel was a great woman, a role model, and a source of inspiration for us all. She will be sadly missed. </p> </div> <a href="#collapse_eulogy" data-toggle="collapse"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-collapse-down"></span>Read More</a> </blockquote> </div> </div>--> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12"> <h4><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-blackboard"></span> News</h4> <hr> <div> <dl class=" dl-horizontal text-overflow"> <dt> <span>Proceedings (9/11/2023)</span> </dt> <dd> IEEE IRI'23 Proceedings is online, e.g., <a href="https://dblp.uni-trier.de/db/conf/iri/index.html" target="_blank">DBLP</a> and <a href="https://doi.org/10.1109/IRI58017.2023" target="_blank">IEEE Xplore</a>. </dd><br> <dt> <span>Awards (8/15/2023)</span> </dt> <dd> IEEE IRI'23 was held successfully -- so nice to see many colleagues and friends in the conference.

Such intelligent applications derive from <em>Information Reuse and Integration</em> (IRI). IRI seeks to maximize the utility of information by creating simple, rich, and cost-effective knowledge representations and ontologies. IRI consequently explores strategies for integrating this knowledge into systems and applications. It plays a pivotal role in the capture, representation, maintenance, integration, validation, and extrapolation of information and the knowledge derived from it; and, it applies both information and knowledge for enhancing decision-making in various application domains. <p class="text-justify"> This conference explores three major tracks: <em>information reuse</em>, <em>information integration</em>, and <em>reusable systems</em>. <em>Information reuse</em> explores the theory and practice of optimizing representations; <em>information integration</em> focuses on innovative strategies and algorithms for unifying diverse information in novel domains; and <em>reusable systems</em> focus on developing and deploying models and corresponding processes that enable <em>Information Reuse</em> and <em>Integration</em> to play a pivotal role in enhancing decision-making processes in various application domains. <p class="text-justify"> The IEEE IRI conference serves as a forum for researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to present, discuss, and exchange ideas that address real-world problems with real-world solutions. Theoretical and applied papers are both included. The conference program will include special sessions, open forum workshops, panels, and keynote speeches. </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-3"> <div id="right-side"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="footer"></div> <script src="js/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script> <script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script> <script> $("#header").load("header.html"); $("#footer").load("footer.html"); $("#right-side").load("side.html"); </script> </body> </html>
