  The  24th IEEE International Conference on Information Reuse and Integration for Data Science (IRI 2023) took place at the  University of Washington, Bothell campus  between August 4 - 6, 2023. We ( Yasasi and Bathsheba ) attended the IRI 2023 conference in person and virtually to present our research work. The IRI conference provides a platform for scholars and professionals from academia, industry, and government to come together to showcase, deliberate, and share ideas exploring three major tracks: information reuse, information integration, and reusable systems. This year, the full research paper acceptance rate of IRI was 29%. Researchers from 18 countries and 5 continents (North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia) submitted their work to IRI 2023 research and poster tracks.

The 21st International Conference on Information Reuse and Integration for Data Science (IRI 2020) was held virtually (due to the COVID-19 pandemic ) instead of Las Vegas as originally planned. IRI 2020 was hosted by the University of Cincinnati, USA , between August 11 - 13, 2020. This conference explores three major tracks: (1) information reuse, (2) information integration, and (3) reusable systems. This 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. Both theoretical and applied papers are included in IRI 2020. Similar to last year's conference ( IRI 2019 ), IRI 2020 program included paper sessions, workshops, panels and keynote speeches. Most of them were held in parallel sessions. Day 1 Welcome Following Stuart Rubin 's welcome note, Chengcui Zhang from University of Alabama at...

The 20th IEEE Information Reuse and Integration for Data Science (IRI) 2019 was held in Los Angles, CA this year. Given the emerging global Information-centric IT landscape that has tremendous social and economic implications, effectively processing and integrating humungous volumes of information from diverse sources to enable effective decision making and knowledge generation have become one of the most significant challenges of current times. Information Reuse and Integration for Data Science (IRI) seeks to maximize the reuse of information by creating simple, rich, and reusable knowledge representations and consequently explores strategies for integrating this knowledge into systems and applications. 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 progr...
