[Fwd: [isworld] 2nd Call for Chapter - Ontology Learning and Knowledge Discovery Using the Web: Challenges and Recent Advances]
by Gustaf Neumann 18 Nov '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] 2nd Call for Chapter - Ontology Learning and Knowledge Discovery Using the Web: Challenges and Recent Advances Datum: Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:34:23 -0500 Von: Wilson Wong <wilson(a)csse.uwa.edu.au> Antwort an: Wilson Wong <wilson(a)csse.uwa.edu.au> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> SECOND CALL FOR CHAPTERS (Proposals Submission Deadline: 15 DECEMBER 2009) Ontology Learning and Knowledge Discovery Using the Web: Challenges and Recent Advances A book edited by Wilson Wong, Wei Liu and Mohammed Bennamoun University of Western Australia, Australia http://explorer.csse.uwa.edu.au/editedbook Introduction ======================================================================================== Ontologies provide formal specifications of what might exist in a domain to ensure reusability and interoperability of multiple heterogeneous systems. Ontologies form an indispensable part of the Semantic Web standard stack. While the Semantic Web is still our vision into the future, ontologies have already found a myriad of applications such as document retrieval, question answering, image retrieval, agent interoperability and document annotation. In recent years, automatic ontology learning from text has provided support and relief for knowledge engineers from the labourious task of manually engineering of ontologies. Ontology learning research, an area integrating advances from information retrieval, text mining, data mining, machine learning and natural language processing, has attracted increasing interests from a wide spectrum of application domains (e.g. bioinformatics, manufacturing). Being a rapidly growing area, it is crucial to collect the recent advances in tools and technologies in ontology learning and related areas. Objective Of The Book ======================================================================================== The main objective of this book is to provide relevant theoretical foundations, and disseminate new research findings and expert views on the remaining challenges in ontology learning. In particular, the book focuses on the following questions: # Can ontology learning continue to rely on techniques borrowed from related areas that were conceived for other purposes? Has the time arrived for us to look at certain peculiar requirements of ontology learning and develop specific techniques to meet these requirements? # Lightweight ontologies are the most common type of ontologies in a variety of existing Semantic Web applications (e.g. knowledge management, document retrieval, communities of practice, data integration). Can these lightweight ontologies be easily extended to formal ones? If so, how? # The poor coverage, rarity and maintenance cost related to manually-created resources such as semantic lexicons (e.g. WordNet, UMLS) and text corpora (e.g. BNC, GENIA corpus) have prompted an increasing number of researchers to turn to dynamic Web data for ontology learning. There is currently a lack of study concentrating on the systematic use of Web data as background knowledge for all phases of ontology learning. How do we know if we have the necessary background knowledge to carry out all our ontology learning tasks? Where do we look for more background knowledge if we know that what we have is inadequate? # More and more practitioners in the domain of biology, health care, chemistry, manufacturing, etc are looking up to ontology learning techniques for solutions to their knowledge sharing and reusability needs. How much more difficult is it to automatically learn ontologies from news articles, as compared to clinical notes or biomedical literature? To what extent can the current techniques meet the requirements of learning from texts across different domains? Is the field of automatic ontology learning from text ready for the industry? Target Audience ======================================================================================== This proposed book will be an invaluable resource as a library or personal reference for a wide range of audience, including, graduate students, researchers and industrial practitioners. Postgraduate students who are in the process of looking for future research directions, and carving out their own niche area will find this book particularly useful. Due to the detailed scope and wide coverage of the book, it also has the potential of being an upper-level course supplement for senior undergraduate students in Artificial Intelligence, and a resource for lecturers in Knowledge Acquisition, Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Text Mining, Information Extraction, and Ontology Learning. Recommended Topics Include, But Are Not Limited To ======================================================================================== Area 1: Text Processing # Web data pre-processing # Noisy text analytics # Text annotation/Sentence parsing # Textual content extraction/Boilerplates removal # Automatic corpus construction Area 2: Taxonomy Construction/Concept Formation # Named entity recognition/noun phrase chunking # Feature-based/featureless similarity and distance measures # Term recognition/term extraction/terminology mining # Cluster analysis/term clustering # Entity disambiguation # Relevance/contrastive analysis # Latent semantic analysis # Other machine learning-based techniques # Other corpus-based techniques Area 3: Relation and Axiom Discovery/Ontology Languages # Lexico-syntactic patterns # Use of dynamic Web data (e.g. Wikipedia mining, online dictionaries) # Sub-categorisation frames # Association rules mining # Inductive logic programming # Other corpus-based techniques # Logic-based/frame-based/markup ontology languages Area 4: Applications of Ontologies # Bioinformatics # Risk management # Manufacturing # Health care # Other relevant application areas Submission Procedure ======================================================================================== Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before 15 DECEMBER 2009, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns together with a tentative organisation (i.e. section titles with section summaries) of their proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by 15 JANUARY 2010 about the status of their proposals. Authors of accepted proposals will be sent guidelines and templates to prepare the full chapter of 8,000 - 10,000 words. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by 15 MARCH 2010.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call For Paper : Workshop Composition & Variability at AOSD'2010 Datum: Tue, 17 Nov 2009 10:54:03 +0100 Von: Philippe.LAHIRE(a)unice.fr Antwort an: Philippe.LAHIRE(a)unice.fr Organisation: Laboratoire I3S (UNSA/CNRS) - UFR Sciences An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Apologies for cross posting ==================================================================================== COMPOSITION & VARIABILITY 2010 First International Workshop on Composition: Objects, Aspects, Components, Services and Product Lines To be held in conjunction with AOSD.10 9th International Conference on Aspect-Oriented Software Development Rennes & Saint Malo, France, 15-19 March 2010 http://www.i3s.unice.fr/Composition&Variability ==================================================================================== Call For Papers * Objectives Separation of concerns is an interesting design concept which is more or less addressed in various paradigms objects, aspects, components and, services in order to achieve software reusability and adaptability. Composition of these concerns is a key issue in software development. The goal of the workshop is to bring the researchers to discuss on software composition according the paradigm which is used, the degree of dynamicity, the stage in the software life cycle, the application domain and the software variability. More generally, the unique contribution of this workshop is to view composition as it is impacted by several points of variation associated for example to the context of reuse, the time of composition or the business domain. * Topics Composition can be applied in particular on Objects, Aspects, SOA, Component-Based architectures and may address various phases of the development process such as: GUI, design, programming, deployment, and maintenance. We are particularly interested in having contributions dealing with any combination of a topic taken in “ Composition and paradigms ” and “ Composition and product lines ” in order to get a view of the composition process coloured with variability issues. Composition and paradigms: * Orchestration and choreography of services, * Hierarchical composition of components, * Composition of functional properties of components, * Autonomic composition, * Compatibility and consistency of composition, * Influence of extra-functional properties on the composition process/results, * Influence of the expression of genericity, * Subject-Oriented Programming, * Aspect-oriented programming, * Component based programming, * Control of the composition process, * Composition in the framework of autonomic computing, * Composition in Object-Oriented approaches, * Composition in the framework of software architecture, * Dynamic or static composition, * Invasive vs non-invasive Composition, * Composition and reliability, adaptability, evolutivity and portability, * … Composition and Product lines: * Software product lines for describing artefact composition, * Composition of aspect product lines, * DSL for describing the composition process, * Checking composition configurations, * Ontology for the composition, * … * Workshop Format This full-day workshop will consist of an introduction by the organisers, an invited talk (TBC), presentations of accepted papers, an in-depth discussion of a set of topics that are identified by the attendees, and a concluding session presenting the results of the discussion groups. * Submissions Attendees are invited to submit papers (5-8 pages) in PDF format. Submissions must conform to the standard ACM SIG Proceedings formatting guidelines (it is the same format of the Conference, see conference website for more information). Papers must be submitted online at www.easychair.org. The authors will be notified about acceptance before the AOSD 2010 early registration deadline. All accepted papers will be published in the Workshop Proceedings, which will be distributed electronically via CEUR-WS.org, and potentially in hardcopy form. The conference organizers are preserving an option to include all workshop papers in both the electronic conference proceedings and in the ACM Digital Library. For this option to be feasible, final summary versions of each workshop paper will have to be prepared for publication (using ACM formatting and granting ACM copyright) and will have to be limited in length to five pages. * Important Dates * Submission of papers: December 21, 2009 * Notification of acceptance: January 15, 2010 * Camera-ready copies: February 15, 2010 * Workshop day: March 15, 2010 * Organization Committee * Geri Georg (Colorado State University) * Philippe Lahire (I3S University of Nice / CNRS) * Mourad Oussalah (LINA University of Nantes) * Jon Whittle (Lancaster University) * Program Committee * Olivier Barais (IRISA - Univ. of Rennes, France) * Djamel Benslimane (LIRIS - Univ. of Lyon, France) * Betty Cheng (Michigan State University , USA) * Christophe Dony (LIRMM – Univ. of Montpellier, France) * Jeff Gray (Univ. of Alabama at Birmingham , USA) * Oystein Haugen (SINTEF, Norway) * Patrick Heymans (FUNDP Namur, Belgium) * Joerg Kienzle ( McGill University, Canada) * Gunter Kniesel ( Univ. of Bonn, Germany) * Manuel Oriol ( Univ. of York, United Kingdom) * Markku Sakkinen (Univ of Jyväskylä, Finland) * Lionel Seinturier (LIFL – Univ. of Lille, France) * Stefan Van Baelen (K.U Leuven , Belgium) * Gilles Vanwormhoudt (LIFL – Univ. of Lille, France) The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfP: IJSSOE Special on Service Oriented KM & BI Datum: Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:09:51 -0500 Von: Dickson K.W. Chiu <kwchiu(a)cse.cuhk.edu.hk> Antwort an: Dickson K.W. Chiu <kwchiu(a)cse.cuhk.edu.hk> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Paper International Journal of Systems and Service-Oriented Engineering (IJSSOE) http://www.igi-global.com/journals/details.asp?id=34268 Special Issue on Service-Oriented Knowledge Management and Business Intelligence (SOKMBI) (Apologies for multiple copies of this CfP) Knowledge management (KM) has been proven to be a key to service excellence and success in traditional service industries. The global economy and enterprises are evolving to become service-oriented, and many new e-services are emerging. To address the growing complexity of the service sector at the Age of Information and Communication, traditional KM research and practices have to be extended and adapted, particularly aiming at effective learning, application, and management of new knowledge. On the other hand, the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) provides new opportunities and challenges for knowledge and learning processes, such as integration and outsourcing. One key source of knowledge comes from Business intelligence (BI) while knowledge provides the basis of further analysis for intelligence. BI is evolving: from the traditional data-and-analysis exercise for supporting management decisions to an integral part of business processes, providing analytics for a wide range of users across organizations. In this end, we merge SOKM with the International Workshop on Business Intelligence Methodologies and Applications (BIMA), in order to form a stronger forum with more participation and cross-disciplinary work. Today the creation, operation, and evolution of such research and practice raise concerns that range from high-level requirements and policy modeling through to the deployment of specific implementation technologies and paradigms, and involve a wide (and ever-growing) range of methodologies, tools, and technologies. They also cover a broad spectrum of vertical domains, industry segments, government and public services, from electronic and mobile commerce to real-time applications for extended enterprises and virtual communities. SOKM intentionally seeks scientists, engineers, educators, solution developers, policy makers, management, analysts, and others who have insight, vision, and understanding of the big challenges in Service Oriented Knowledge Management. This special issue also aims at helping in communicating and disseminating relevant recent research across disciplines, cultures, and communities. Topic include but not limited to: * Principles, theories, and challenges of SOKMBI * Strategies, modeling, and requirements engineering for SOKMBI * Architectures, implementations, and deployment of SOKMBI * Cultural and economic issues in SOKMBI * Knowledge and learning for emerging services and service innovations * Inter- and Intra enterprise knowledge integration and engineering * Processes management and service outsourcing issues * Knowledge-based decision models and decision support systems for service provision * Web services and semantic support for knowledge, learning, and BI * Agent based technologies and logic for service knowledge and learning * Virtual organizations and communities for SOKMBI * Trust, reputation, security, risk, and privacy issues * Service marketing, data mining, and relationship management * Machine learning and cybernetics for service provision and management * Automatic and semi-automatic services contract generation and management * Platforms for on-demand and mobile SOKMBI * Cloud computing and utility computing for SOKMBI * Solutions for small-to-medium enterprises (e.g., SaaS) * Customer behavior analysis and collaborative filtering * Collaborative notion of intelligence * Market/collective intelligence from social media * Social and collaborative tools * Organizational BI and collaborative business * Adoption and diffusion issues * Intangible / intellectural vs tangible assets management * Digital business ecosystems Schedule . Deadline for submission: November 30, 2009. . Notification of acceptance: Dec 15, 2009. . Deadline for revised paper: Jan 10, 2009. . Publication: 2010 Submission Instructions Manuscripts must be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word format, using APA citation styles.

Februar Überarbeitete Version der Beiträge 23.Februar Workshop ===================================================================== Inhalt und Ziele des Workshops: ===================================================================== Im Bereich des Grid-Computing stehen Workflows im Fokus zahlreicher Projekte, die sich mit der Entwicklung von geeigneten Werkzeugen, Sprachen und Laufzeitumgebungen für Workflows im Grid-Computing beschäftigen. Oftmals liegt der Schwerpunkt auf wissenschaftliche Workflows, die traditionell zur Koordinierung der Verarbeitung großer Datenmengen und zur Lösung stark unterschiedlicher wissenschaftlicher Fragestellungen eingesetzt werden. Hierbei wird häufig das Ziel verfolgt, den Fachanwendern einfache Methoden zur Verfügung zu stellen, mit denen komplexe Anwendungen erstellt und transparent auf den verfügbaren Ressourcen ausgeführt werden können. Neuerdings werden in der Grid-Domäne auch betriebliche Workflows verstärkt adressiert. Hierbei steht die Lösung von Integrationsproblemen in heterogenen Umgebungen im Vordergrund - ein Aspekt, der Grid- Technologien und der Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) gemeinsam ist. Seitdem moderne Grid-Middlewares wie z. B. UNICORE 6 und Globus Toolkit 4 auf dem sog. Web Service Resource Framework (WSRF) aufbauen, sind die Grundlagen vorhanden, Service-orientierte Architekturen mit Grid-Technologien zu realisieren.

[Fwd: [isworld] Call for Papers: JAIS Special Issue on Team Collaboration in Virtual Worlds]
by Gustaf Neumann 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call for Papers: JAIS Special Issue on Team Collaboration in Virtual Worlds Datum: Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:16:07 -0600 Von: Moez Limayem <MLimayem(a)walton.uark.edu> Antwort an: Moez Limayem <MLimayem(a)walton.uark.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CC: Gerardus J De Vreede <gdevreede(a)mail.unomaha.edu>, Imed Boughzala <imed.boughzala(a)it-sudparis.eu> Call for Papers Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) Special Issue on Team Collaboration in Virtual Worlds INTRODUCTION In his famous science-fiction novel Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson envisioned the evolution of the Internet into what he called a "Metaverse", a three dimensional (3D) virtual reality-based space where people interacted with each other through their avatars (i.e. graphical representation of themselves) and manipulated virtual artifacts. Since the last few years, Metaverses have become a reality with the development of virtual/mixed reality applications, called 3D virtual worlds. A growing and strong interest has emerged in the field of information systems (IS) around the characteristics and possibilities of these virtual worlds. Virtual worlds have now evolved into sophisticated social systems, such as Massively-Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs), where millions of people chat, collaborate and compete with each other through their avatars. According to Gartner Group, 80% of active Internet users will use a virtual world by the end of 2011. Beyond the entertainment and game play features, virtual worlds are evolving towards business needs, where social, organizational and economic interactions are the main drivers. In fact, today's virtual worlds bring a variety of opportunities to organizations with respect to team collaboration. Several companies such as IBM, Intel, Cisco, Microsoft, e-Bay, Accenture, and others are already using virtual worlds for their team collaborations - meetings, seminars (internal or with partners), training/certification, recruitment, or simply for socialization (virtual events). As collaboration has become the predominant modus in which organizations accomplish work, recent surveys show that collaboration is a key driver in organizational performance and may contribute more to organizational performance than strategic orientation. Therefore it is important to understand how virtual worlds can best be used as an environment for organizational teams to collaborate. Successful performance is by no means a guarantee for teams that employ collaboration techniques and technology. Teams have to align their work processes and procedures, their personalities and motivations, their leadership styles and approaches, their information and knowledge resources, and their technology support to create value. In this mix, virtual worlds present challenges and opportunities for organizational teams at the same time: challenges as team using virtual worlds may have to overcome limitations originating from not sharing the same physical space and opportunities as virtual worlds offer teams possibilities that are impossible in the real world. Virtual worlds provide a visual window to a persistent and synthetic world inhabited by avatars that are deeply involved in social interactions, along with economic and commercial activities. More specifically, the vivid and interactive features of virtual worlds lead users to experience flow states that may influence their subsequent behavior. Moreover, these virtual worlds enhance the user perceptions of presence and co-presence. They are immersive by nature and reinvent the notions of "being together" and awareness for distributed teams. Finally, these virtual worlds provide a tangible 'physical' environment with geographical boundaries, composed of homes, furniture, streets, trees, ground and sky that inhabitants can use to situate their social interactions and behaviors. To study issues of team collaboration in virtual worlds, different disciplines and theoretical perspectives are required. Existing theories from IS/IT, Communication, Psychology, Education and other fields may help explain and predict relevant phenomena related to team collaboration in virtual worlds. Yet, new theories and theoretical perspectives are required as our existing body of knowledge regarding collaboration in physical "face-to-face" worlds is insufficient to address all relevant issues and perspectives. Thus, team collaboration in virtual worlds presents an area of new theoretical interest. THE CALL We are pleased to invite scholars from any discipline to contribute papers that advance our theoretical understanding of team collaboration in virtual worlds (from small team to large groups and communities). The special issue aims to publish theoretical and empirical research that will investigate how individuals and teams within and between organizations use this type of environment to coordinate tasks, share information, simulate processes, solve problems, make decisions, create and manipulate objects, innovate, and create value. Suggested topics include but are not limited to: . What relevant theoretical perspectives help researchers better understand team collaborations in virtual worlds? . How do virtual world collaborations influence team processes and outcomes? . What is the impact of virtual world collaborations on individual's or team's behaviors? . What is the impact of virtual world collaborations on organizational performance? . What are the effects of management and leadership styles and behavior on virtual world team performance? . What embedded technologies do teams require to effectively use virtual worlds? . How can teams in virtual worlds access, process, and disseminate information relevant to their work? . In what way is team collaboration in virtual worlds different from other well-known computer-mediated communications? . How do personality characteristics of team members influence the progress of work in virtual worlds? . What is the effect of team size in virtual world collaboration? . How can collaboration processes for virtual world teams be purposefully designed? . How are individuals and teams motivated to perform in virtual worlds? . How do organizational strategies and models have to be adapted or rethought in the context of virtual world collaborations? . What are the impacts of team collaboration in virtual worlds on creativity and innovation? . How can virtual worlds support collaboration process simulation? . How can teams be effectively trained to collaborate in virtual worlds? . What abilities should individuals and teams develop in order to collaborate successfully in virtual worlds? . What role does culture play in virtual world team collaboration? . Which tasks and task types are more conducive to be executed in virtual world environments? Team Collaboration in Virtual Worlds is a nascent field of study whose boundaries have yet to be demarcated. We seek contributions from all epistemological perspectives, including: . Critical Perspective: The value and social significance of the collaboration in virtual worlds and the tasks to which virtual worlds could be applied from a critical perspective. . Logical Positivist Perspective: Theoretical, experimental studies of possible causes of the phenomena of interest, and their applications to design and deploy collaborative work practices in virtual worlds. . Interpretivist Perspective: The inferences people draw from and the meanings they ascribe to the actions of actors in the context of collaboration in virtual worlds. REVIEW PROCESS All prospective authors are encouraged to send a brief, preliminary abstract to the Special Issue editors at their earliest convenience. The editors will provide informal, constructive, developmental feedback about how to position the paper for the best fit to the Special Issue.

[Fwd: [isworld] CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS]
by Gustaf Neumann 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS Datum: Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:27:49 -0500 Von: Sandra Gonzalez Cisaro <sagonci(a)exa.unicen.edu.ar> Antwort an: Sandra Gonzalez Cisaro <sagonci(a)exa.unicen.edu.ar> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS 2nd Proposal Submission Deadline: December 14, 2009 Ontologies-Driven Web Mining: Concepts and Techniques A book edited by Hector Oscar Nigro and Sandra Elizabeth Gonzalez Císaro Universidad Nacional del Centro de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA To be published by IGI Global: http://www.igi-global.com/requests/details.asp?ID=732 Introduction Semantic Web mining aims to combine the development of two research areas, namely Semantic Web and Web mining. Web mining extracts information from the content of the pages, its structure of relationships (links), and the users� browsing records. Both areas are collaborating in different ways: a) Mining Web techniques can help create a Semantic Web. A very important portion of Semantic Web is the ontologies. The ontology is represented as a set of concepts and their relevant interrelations for certain domains of knowledge. The challenge is to learn ontologies and/or their concepts, in order to make a scalable solution for a wide range of Semantic Web technologies. b) Knowledge in the form of ontologies, or other forms of representation of knowledge, can be used to improve the process and the results of mining Web. Knowledge provided by the ontology is useful in defining the structure and the scope for Web content mining. In the interaction between ontologies and Web mining, we can mention the following applications: * Sentiment analysis, also called opinion mining, is responsible for classifying words, texts or documents of opinion, and emotions or feelings that express agreement. It works in tagging texts and their components, which indicate if the expression is positive, negative, or neutral, and in the field of the subjectivity of texts, as well. The area is called affective computing, that is, the development of means to enable machines to detect and to respond in an appropriate manner to the emotions of users. * Optimization in search engines is criteria that must be taken into account in order to plan a campaign of positioning a Web page, its life cycle, and a selection of tools to help analyze the positioning of a site, as well as give keys to improve it. The study of the various basic attributes of an individual Web resource is not sufficient to infer the different strategies of positioning of a search engine. The fundamental problem is that the relationship between the different elements of the page and weight that each one brings to the final positioning. The application of various techniques of inductive learning can be a starting point for the optimization of the Web positioning. * Web intelligence (WI) is a research paradigm aimed at exploration of the fundamental interactions between artificial intelligence (AI), advanced engineering, and advanced information technology (AIT). Engineering, here, is a general term referring to, (a) a new area, for example, informatics of the brain, IA human level, intelligent agents, and intelligence social networks; (b) classics, such as engineering knowledge, representation, planning, discovery, and data extraction. The ontologies will give semantic richness to Web mining process, thus they will facilitate the understanding of the results obtained and the whole process performance. Objective of the Book This book aims at publishing original academic or industrial work in the form of high quality, scientific papers. The key objective is to provide Web mining students, practitioners, professionals, professors, and researchers an integral vision of the topic, specifically focusing on those areas that explore new methodologies or examine real study case�all of them ontologies-based. This publication should describe the state-of-the-art, innovative theoretical supports, advanced and successful implementations, as well as the latest empirical research findings in the area of ontologies-driven Web mining. Target Audience The target audience of this book will be composed of readers who wish to learn how to apply ontologies-driven Web mining to real world problems. The purpose is to show users how to go from theory and algorithms to real applications. The book will present to students, practitioners, professionals, professors, and researchers basic notions in data mining or Web mining. Information technology researchers and practitioners can increase their knowledge and skills with these new techniques. This book can be used as a library reference, upper-level course supplement, or for postgraduate courses. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: · Theoretic foundations on Web mining ontologies-based approach · Ontologies in Web mining process · Ontology-based interpretation and validation of mined knowledge · Intelligent assistants for Web mining with ontologies · Interaction from ontologies to Web mining · Knowledge grids and Web mining ontology · Ontology-based optimization in search engines · Opinion mining with ontologies · Real study cases, implementing Web mining based on ontologies Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before December 14, 2009, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by December 29, 2009 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by March 14, 2010. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project.
