ICIC The International Conference for Science & Business Information Sitges, Spain 18-21 October 2009
As always at the ICIC meetings, we devote much attention to the major current trends in the domain of scientific, technical and business information, as well as looking at interesting new research topics in this area. Among the varied themes of the 2009 ICIC, there is a strong focus on state-of-the-art tools for extracting information and analysis, mining mapping and visualisation from scientific and technical information. Since one of the principal raw materials for applying these tools is found in the texts of patents, we devote significant attention to intelligence derived from patents as an aid to decision making in organisations.
