As data and knowledge volumes keep increasing while global means for information dissemination continue to diversify, new methods, modeling paradigms, and structures are needed to efficiently support the mounting scalability requirements for the large variety of current and future data, information, and knowledge. Grid computing, P2P technology, data and knowledge bases, distributed information retrieval technology, and networking technology should all converge to address the scalability concern. The Second International Conference on Scalable Information Systems will focus on a wide array of scalability issues and investigate new approaches for tackling problems arising from the ever-growing size and complexity of information of all kinds.
