Call for Evaluations and Experiments ISWC 2012

28 May '12

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Call for Evaluations and Experiments http://iswc2012.semanticweb.org/call-evaluations-and-experiments 11th International Semantic Web Conference http://iswc2012.semanticweb.org/ Boston - USA November 11-15, 2012 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Semantic Web (and Linked Data) has been an active area of research for several years. This 11th edition of the International Semantic Web conference introduces the Evaluations and Experiments Track. Its goal are to consolidate research material and to gain new scientific insights and results by providing a place for in-depth experimental studies of significant scale. It aims at promoting experimental evaluations in Semantic Web/Linked Data research trying to create a research cycle between theory and experiments as in other sciences (e.g., physics). Papers in this track can fit in different categories: Experimental studies comparing a spectrum of approaches to a particular problem and, through extensive experiments, providing a comprehensive perspective on the underlying phenomena or approaches. Analyses of experimental results providing insights on the nature or characteristics of studied phenomena, including negative results. Result verification focusing on verifying or refuting published results and, through the renewed analysis, help to advance the state of the art. Benchmarking, focusing on datasets and algorithms for comprehensible and systematic evaluation of existing and future systems. Availability of experimental datasets is highly important (if not compulsory). In addition, these papers will be more specifically judged on the basis of their: Precise description of control experimental conditions Reproducibility Applicability range (broad coverage results being better than narrow applicability). Special attention will be paid to reproducibility. Hence, experimental settings will have to be extensively described so that the results could be independently reproduced and counter-experiments could be designed. The experimental approach is based on systematic scientific methods used in many disciplines. http://www.experiment-resources.com/ provides a good collection of methods, experiment design strategies, and resources. Topics of Interests ---------------------------------------- For a list of topic of interests please visit the Call for Research Papers http://iswc2012.semanticweb.org/call-research-papers Submission ---------------------------------------- Pre-submission of abstracts is a strict requirement. All papers and abstracts have to be submitted electronically via the Conference Submission System http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iswc2012et. All research submissions must be in English, and no longer than 12 pages. Papers that exceed this limit will be rejected without review. Submissions must be in PDF formatted in the style of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). For details on the LNCS style, see Springer’s Author Instructions. ISWC-2012 submissions are not anonymous. Accepted papers will be distributed to conference attendees and also published by Springer in the printed conference proceedings, as part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper there.

======================================================== 6th Int'l Workshop on Modular Ontologies (WoMO) Graz, Austria, July 24, 2012 held in conjunction with FOIS 2012 --- Final Call for Papers --- ======================================================== +++ EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE: May 18, 2012 +++ ======================================================== +++ Following requests, we have extended the submission deadline to MAY 18, 2012. +++ INVITED SPEAKERS: * Thomas Eiter, Vienna University of Technology, Austria Title TBA * Luciano Serafini, Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Trento, Italy Multi context logics: a formal support for structuring knowledge and beliefs (Tentative title) http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~ts/womo2012 MODULARITY, studied for years in software engineering, allows mechanisms for easy and flexible reuse, generalization, structuring, maintenance, design patterns, and comprehension. In formal and applied ontology, modularity is central to reducing the complexity of designing and understanding ontologies, and to facilitating ontology verification, reasoning, development, maintenance and integration. Recent research on ontology modularity shows substantial progress in foundations of modularity, techniques of modularization and modular development, distributed reasoning and empirical evaluation. These results provide a solid foundation and exciting prospects for further research and development. The workshop continues a series of successful events that have been an excellent venue for practitioners and researchers to discuss latest and current work; the most recent WoMOs were held at FOIS 2010 and ESSLLI 2011. TOPICS include, but are not limited to: - What is modularity?: kinds of modules and their properties; modules vs. contexts; design patterns; granularity of representation; - Logical/foundational studies: conservativity; modular ontology languages; reconciling inconsistencies across modules; formal structuring of modules; heterogeneity; - Algorithmic approaches: distributed and incremental reasoning; modularization and module extraction; sharing, linking, reuse; privacy; evaluation of modularization approaches; complexity of reasoning; implemented systems; - Applications: semantic web; life sciences; bio-ontologies; natural language processing; space and time; ambient intelligence; social intelligence; collaborative ontology development and ontology versioning. IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission: May 18, 2012 Notification: June 19, 2012 Camera ready: July 6, 2012 Workshop: July 24, 2012 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: We welcome submissions on modularity in a broad sense. The workshop is open to papers of theoretical or practical nature. Submissions should be of up to 11 pages in length, formatted according to Springer LNCS style (see http://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/Authors.html) prepared in PDF format and submitted no later than May 18, 2012, through the EasyChair Submission System (see http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=womo2012) Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by members of the program committee.
