11th International Workshop on Web Semantics and Information Processing (WebS 2012)
in conjunction with DEXA 2012, 23rd International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications
03-07 September 2012, Vienna, Austria http://www.dexa.org/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Colleagues,
you are invited to submit your papers to the 11th International Workshop on Web Semantics and Information Processing (part of the 23rd International Workshop on Database and Expert Systems Applications DEXA), to be held on 03-07 September 2012, Vienna, Austria.
The objective of the international workshop Web Semantics and Information Processing (WebS) is to bring together researchers, developers and practitioners to discuss research issues and experience in developing and deploying Semantic Web concepts, applications, and solutions being an international forum for the presentation of both theoretical and applicative results.
This year's WebS builds on this tradition of facilitating cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas, experience and potential research directions. WebS 2012 seeks to introduce innovative methods, algorithms, and solutions to challenging problems in Semantic Web and Information Processing research and development initiatives.
Submissions presenting current research work on both theoretical and practical aspects of Semantic Web application experiences in information processing are encouraged. Particularly, we strongly welcome submissions dealing with information extraction and natural language processing.
TOPICS: ======= The relevant topics include the following (but are not limited to):
Semantic Web and Ontologies * Ontology modeling, reuse, extraction, and evolution * Ontology mapping, merging, and alignment * Ontology learning and metadata generation * Ontology evaluation (guidelines)
Semantic Web and Information Integration * Interoperability and data integration through semantic technology * Search, integration, and analysis on the Semantic Web * Semantic and context awareness * Semantic Web supporting business processes * Semantic Web for e-sciences * Semantic Web for e-business
Semantic Web and Information Quality * Reliability of ontologies * Ontology evaluation and reliability measurement * Ontological metrics * Ontology comparison * Ontology reuse methodologies and methods
Semantic Web and Information Extraction / Natural Language Processing * Structured data extraction from unstructured and semi-structured web text * Sentiment and opinion analysis * Analysis of user-generated context * Text summarization, topic identification, metadata extraction * Semantic Web content creation, annotation and extraction
Semantic Web and Knowledge Management * Knowledge management and sharing * Text mining on the web, Semantic Web mining in general * Clustering, classification and other (data mining) techniques for knowledge management * Personalization for knowledge management * Semantic Web inference schemes * Semantic Web data querying and reasoning
Semantic Web and its Applications * Database technologies for the Semantic Web * Intelligent user interfaces * Dynamic ontology generation and adaptation * Languages, tools and methodologies for semantic annotations of web data * Applications on mobile devices * Enhanced accessibility and multimodal interfaces * Reasoning
PAPER SUBMISSION DETAILS: ========================= Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research and application papers that are not being considered in another forum. Manuscripts will be limited to 5 two-column pages (IEEE Proceeding style) including figures and references. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines to prepare your papers. Authors of accepted papers are requested to sign the IEEE copyright form. The author guidelines can be found at IEEE Conference Publishing Services - Proceedings Author Forms.
Electronic submission of manuscripts (in PDF, postscript, or word format) is required and will be handled via the workshop Web site http://www.faw.jku.at/wwoess/webs/webs.html. For any questions please contact webs@faw.uni-linz.ac.at.
At least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend the conference and present the paper. Papers accepted for presentation will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press as proceedings of the DEXA 2012 workshops. Authors are requested to send their paper(s) to be received by March 02, 2012.
EVALUATION PROCESS: =================== All submissions will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and technical soundness. Each paper will be refereed by at least three researchers in the topical area.
IMPORTANT DATES: ================ Paper submission: March 02, 2012 Notification of acceptance: April 26, 2012 Webs 2012 Workshop: 03-07 September 2012
WEBS CHAIRS: ============ Christina Feilmayr (FAW, Johannes Kepler University of Linz, Austria) Wolfram Wöß (FAW, Johannes Kepler University of Linz, Austria)
