Call for Papers: Engineering the Semantic Enterprise (ESE2012) Workshop at WISE2012
=========================================
16 November, 2012 Paphos, Cyprus
=========================================
Objectives
Two main trends have emerged in enterprise over the past few years. On the one hand, Web 2.0 tools such as blogs for personal information management, microblogs for real-time notifications and wikis for enterprise-scale collaboration have become widely used for information management, leading to a move towards what is termed "Enterprise 2.0". At the same time, Semantic Web technologies have emerged, allowing enterprise users to transparently provide structured and meaningful data in the enterprise thanks to vocabularies representing social data and leading towards the Corporate Semantic Web and the Semantic Enterprise. These technologies offer new ways to enable data integration between heterogeneous components, to enhance information management and improve sharing with an enterprise, leading to a "Social Semantic Enterprise" where both Semantic Web technologies and Social Web principles converge, resembling recent trends on the Web with schema.org or the Facebook Open Graph protocol. The adoption of the Semantic Web technologies is visible major challenges remain:
- the volume of created content requires both new methods for the retrieval of Semantic Web data available in the enterprise but also new approaches to personalization to deliver appropriate information to knowledge workers at the right time
- the distributed characteristic of enterprise data sources results in a need for methodologies and designs that allow for close to real-time integration of available data.
We aim to bring together Semantic Web experts, practitioners and users to discuss the application of semantic technologies in enterprise. This workshop is motivated by recent developments in the domain leading to many enterprise applications that strengthen the connection between enterprise and Web data and systems, while at the same time posing new technical and methodological challenges.
The workshop will serve as a forum for the confluence of new ideas that will help to drive research and applications in the area of the semantic technologies deployed in an enterprise context.
=========================================
Topics of Interest
We encourage the submission of research papers (full or short), demonstrations and posters that deal with (but are not limited to) the following topics of interest:
a) Semantic Web and the enterprise
- Enterprise architectures exploiting semantic technologies - Linked Open Data in enterprise systems, and linked enterprise data - Semantic Web standards in the enterprise - Corporate Semantic Web - Integration of enterprise and Web data - Scalability of enterprise systems exploiting Semantic Web technologies - Real-time integration of enterprise data and distributed systems
b) Social applications, personalization, and privacy in an enterprise context
- Case studies of semantic technologies deployment in different enterprise applications - Demonstrations of the use of social networking in the enterprise - Methodologies and tools enabling a Social Semantic Enterprise - Personalization techniques with applications in enterprise context - User modeling in social semantic enterprise - Recommender systems exploiting Semantic Web techniques - Trust, privacy and security - Human aspects of Semantic Enterprise: decision-making, usability, user interface design
=========================================
Submissions
We seek the following kinds of submissions:
1. Full scientific papers: should present mature work - up to 12 pages in LNCS format 2. Short scientific and position papers: up to 4 pages in LNCS 3. Demonstration papers: up to 4 pages in LNCS
Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition by at least two members of the program committee.
All submitted papers MUST be formatted according to the author guidelines provided by Springer LNCS format [1] and in PDF format.
Please submit papers in PDF format only via EasyChair at (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ese_2012)
The proceedings of the ESE 2012 workshop will be published by Springer in its Lecturer Notes in Computer Science series as well as by CEUR [2].
