But what does it really mean for the society, science, technology, education, governments, our lives? The Information Society multiconference deals with information technologies, which are of major importance for the development of Europe. IS 2012 will serve as a forum for the world-wide and national community to explore further research directions, business opportunities and governmental policies. For these reasons we host a scientific meeting in the form of a multiconference, which will consist of several independent conferences with themes essential for the development of the information society. The main objective is the exchange of ideas and developing visions for the future of information society. IS 2012 is a high-quality multidisciplinary conference covering major recent scientific achievements.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>------------------------------------------<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>* Independent Conferences within IS 2012 *<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Intelligent Systems (<a href="http://kt.ijs.si/MarkoBohanec/IS2012/IntSys12.html">http://kt.ijs.si/MarkoBohanec/IS2012/IntSys12.html</a>)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * 100 Years of Alan Turing and 20 Years of SLAIS (<a href="http://ailab.ijs.si/dunja/TuringSLAIS-2012/">http://ailab.ijs.si/dunja/TuringSLAIS-2012/</a>)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Cognitive Sciences (<a href="http://is.ijs.si/is/is2012/konference/Kognitivna/KZ-IS-2012.pdf">http://is.ijs.si/is/is2012/konference/Kognitivna/KZ-IS-2012.pdf</a>)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Collaboration, Software and Services in Information Society <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>(<a href="http://ii.uni-mb.si/css/2012/eng">http://ii.uni-mb.si/css/2012/eng</a>)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Data Mining and Data Warehouses (SiKDD 2012) (<a href="http://ailab.ijs.si/dunja/SiKDD2012/">http://ailab.ijs.si/dunja/SiKDD2012/</a>)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Education in Information Society (<a href="http://is.ijs.si/is/is2012/konference/Vzgoja/VIVID-cfp2012.pdf">http://is.ijs.si/is/is2012/konference/Vzgoja/VIVID-cfp2012.pdf</a>)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Facing Demographic Challenges (<a href="http://is.ijs.si/is/is2012/konference/Demografija/demografija-ang.html">http://is.ijs.si/is/is2012/konference/Demografija/demografija-ang.html</a>)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * FORSEE – Technological Forecasting in ICT (<a href="http://is.ijs.si/is/is2012/konference/Forsee/FORSEE-IS-2012.pdf">http://is.ijs.si/is/is2012/konference/Forsee/FORSEE-IS-2012.pdf</a>)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Language Technologies (<a href="http://nl.ijs.si/isjt12/">http://nl.ijs.si/isjt12/</a>)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Robotics (<a href="http://is.ijs.si/is/is2012/konference/Robotika/robotika-ang.html">http://is.ijs.si/is/is2012/konference/Robotika/robotika-ang.html</a>)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Each conference has:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * An independent program committee<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * One or more foreign lecturers<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Peer review of submitted papers<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Papers published in the conference proceedings<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>------------------------<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>* Submission and dates *<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Submitted papers must be original and not currently under review by another conference or journal.
