02 Oct '07

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] ESWC2008 Call for Tutorials Datum: Tue, 2 Oct 2007 12:24:22 +0300 Von: ga(a)csd.uoc.gr Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> Call for Tutorials 5th European Semantic Web Conference 01 - 05 June 2008 Tenerife (Spain) http://www.eswc2008.org/ The vision of the Semantic Web is to enhance today�s Web via the exploitation of machine-processable metadata. This metadata, enriched with domain theories (Ontologies) and knowledge-based tools to process metadata and semantics, will enable a Web that provides a qualitatively new level of service. It will weave together a large network of human knowledge and make this knowledge machine-accessible. Various automated services will help the users to achieve their goals by accessing and processing information in machine- processable form. This network of knowledge systems will ultimately lead to truly intelligent systems, which will be employed for various specialized reasoning to accomplish complex tasks. Many technologies and methodologies are being developed within Artificial Intelligence, Database Systems, Multimedia Systems, Distributed Systems, Software Engineering and Information Systems that can contribute towards the realization of this vision. The 5th annual European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2008) will present the latest results in research and application of Semantic Web technologies. More details can be found on the ESWC 2008 homepage (http://www.eswc2008.org/). In addition to the regular research and workshop programme, ESWC 2008 invites tutorials on relevant topics of interest (see below). A tutorial should present the state of the art of a Semantic Web area, enabling attendees to fully appreciate the current issues, main schools of thought and possible application areas. Tutorial Proposals ------------------ ESWC 2008 tutorials may be either for a full day or for a half day. Unless there is a clear rationale we will give preference to half day tutorials over full day tutorials. Tutorials proposed for the ESWC 2008 should cover one topic in appropriate depth and present it in a appropriate manner which enables attendees to fully comprehend and apply emerging Semantic Web technologies. Although tutorials may focus entirely on theoretical aspects, we strongly encourage hands-on sessions where appropriate. Tutorial proposals should not exceed 5 pages in DIN A4 format and should contain the following information: - abstract (200 words maximum, for inclusion in the ESWC 2008 website) - tutorial description (aims, target audience, presentation method, technical requirements) - justification for the tutorial, including timeliness and relevance to ESWC 2008 - outline of the tutorial content and schedule - information on presenters (name, affiliation, expertise, experiences in teaching and in tutorial presentation) Tutorial proposals are to be submitted as single pdf files to Grigoris Antoniou, email: antoniou(a)ics.forth.gr. Submitted proposals that follow the above guidelines will be reviewed by the ESWC 2008 organizing committee with respect to relevance of the topic, content and presentation method, and presenters� expertise. Important Dates --------------- Tutorial Submissions Due: January 7, 2008 Tutorial Acceptance: January 21, 2008 Tutorial Hands Out Due: March 31, 2008 Tutorial Presentation Data: June 1, 2008 For accepted tutorials, the presenters will need to submit the material for hand-outs (the slide sets and / or additional information; software installation and usage guides for practical hands-on sessions) to the organization committee for preprinting and placement on the ESWC 2008 website. For each accepted tutorial, we offer one 50% discount of the Early-Bird registration fee. Conference Topics of Interest and Area Keywords ----------------------------------------------- Topics of interest for ESWC 2008 tutorials include, but are not limited to the following: Management of Semantic Web Data and Knowledge - Languages, tools and methodologies for representing and managing Semantic Web data - Database technologies for the Semantic Web - Search, query, and visualization of the Semantic Web - Robust and scalable reasoning on the Web - Logics for the Semantic Web - Machine learning and human language technologies for the Semantic Web - Semantic Web content creation, annotation, and extraction Ontologies - Ontology creation, extraction, and evolution - Ontology mapping, merging, and alignment - Evaluation and tanking of ontologies - Conceptual modelling Semantic Web Architecture - Semantic Web middleware - Semantic Web services - Agents on the Semantic Web - Semantics in P2P systems and grids Social Semantic Web - Social networks and processes on the Semantic Web - Semantic web technology for collaboration and cooperation - Representing and reasoning about trust, privacy, and security Applications of the Semantic Web - Evaluation of Semantic Web technologies - Semantic Web for e-business, e-science, e-government, e-learning, and other application domains - Semantic Web for ubiquitous computing and ambient intelligence - Semantic Web technologies for multimedia content - Personal information management ----- Τέλος προωθούμενου μηνύματος ----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: computational.science-unsubscribe(a)lists.optimanumerics.com For additional commands, e-mail: computational.science-help(a)lists.optimanumerics.com Computational Science mailing list hosting is provided by OptimaNumerics (http://www.OptimaNumerics.com) ---------------------------------------------------------------------
