	AAAI2007&#39;s Workshop on Semantic e-Science (SeS07)<br>
	<font size="2">23 July, 2007, Vancouver, Canada, co-located with AAAI'07<br><br></font><div class="paragraph Heading_1" style="line-height: 25px; padding-top: 0pt; font-weight: bold;">Call

<p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p></div>

<div class="paragraph Body" style="line-height: 20px;">
	<p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p></div>

	<p style="text-align: justify;">Following the success of SeS2006 (<a href="http://km.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/ws/SeS2006/">http://km.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/ws/SeS2006/</a>), 
	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:</p></div>

<div class="paragraph Body" style="line-height: 20px;">
	<p style="text-align: justify;"><span>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 </span><a href="http://www.easychair.org/SeS2007AAAI2007/" title="http://www.easychair.org/SeS2007AAAI2007/" style="line-height: 20px; opacity: 1;">http://www.easychair.org/SeS2007AAAI2007/</a><span>

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.<br>
&nbsp;</span></p></div>
<div class="paragraph Body" style="line-height: 20px;">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.<br>
