[apologize for cross-posting] AAAI2007's Workshop on Semantic e-Science (SeS07) 23 July, 2007, Vancouver, Canada, co-located with AAAI'07 Call for Papers ------------------------------ Semantic technologies have been gaining momentum in various e-Science areas. For example, W3C has established a new interest group for semantic web health care and life science. Hence, there is an urgent need for semantics-based methodologies, tools, middleware to facilitate scientific knowledge modeling, logical-based hypothesis checking, semantic data integration and application composition, integrated knowledge discovery and data analyzing for different e-Science applications. Partially influenced by the Artificial Intelligence community, the Semantic Web researchers have largely focused on formal aspects of semantic representation languages or general-purpose semantic application development, with inadequate consideration of requirements from specific science areas. On the other hand, general science researchers are growing ever more dependent on the web, but they have no coherent agenda for exploring the emerging trends on the semantic web technologies. Advances in e-science infrastructure and e-science applications based on the semantic technologies and related knowledge-based approaches calls for increased interaction among these disparate communities. Following the success of SeS2006 ( http://km.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/ws/SeS2006/), SeS2007 aims to provide an inter-disciplinary forum for researchers from both the Semantic Web community, and general science communities including the life science community. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Semantic e-Science Foundations: - Knowledge Representation for e-Science - Ontology Engineering for e-Science - Knowledge Integration for e-Science - Knowledge Management for e-Science - Semantic Data Integration - Semantic Web Services - e-Science Process Management - Semantic Infrastructure and Architecture for e-Science - Semantic Grid Middleware - Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery Semantic Web Applications and Ontologies for: - Semantic Web for Health Care and Life Science - Semantic Web for Biomedical informatics - Semantic Web for System and Integrated Biology - Semantic Web for Translational Medicine - Semantic Web for Materials Informatics - Semantic Web for Geography, Environment and Climate - Semantic Web for Chemistry, Physics and Mechanics - Semantic Web and Digital Libraries and Scientific Publication Submission and Proceedings We invite academic/industrial researchers and practitioners to submit original research papers, well-written surveys, or papers describing deployed systems to the workshop. The papers must not exceed 8 pages in length including references and should be prepared using the AAAI formatting guidelines. The papers should be submitted by using the paper submission system at http://www.easychair.org/SeS2007AAAI2007/ no later than March 27,2007. Each paper will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the PC. Authors of accepted papers will be required to submit final camera-ready copy to the organizers on May 15,2007. The workshop proceeding will be published and distributed by AAAI. All accepted papers will be included in the AAAI Digital Library, as in the case of SeS2006, we are organizing journal special issues for extended versions of selected high-quality work.
