This book constitutes the proceedings of the First International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Information Technology, CIIT 2011, held in Pune, India, in November 2011. The 58 revised full papers, 67 revised short papers, and 32 poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 483 initial submissions. The papers are contributed by innovative academics and industrial experts in the field of computer science, information technology, computational engineering, mobile communication and security and offer a stage to a common forum, where a constructive dialog on theoretical concepts, practical ideas and results of the state of the art can be developed.

It is my pleasure to write the preface for Information Processing and Management. This book aims to bring together innovative results and new research trends in inf- mation processing, computer science and management engineering. If an information processing system is able to perform useful actions for an obj- tive in a given domain, it is because the system knows something about that domain. The more knowledge it has, the more useful it can be to its users. Without that kno- edge, the system itself is useless. In the information systems field, there is conceptual modeling for the activity that elicits and describes the general knowledge a particular information system needs to know. The main objective of conceptual modeling is to obtain that description, which is called a conceptual schema. Conceptual schemas are written in languages called conceptual modeling languages. Conceptual modeling is an important part of requi- ments engineering, the first and most important phase in the development of an inf- mation system.
