Special Issue on Systems development by means of semantic technologies
in Science of Computer Programming journal (impact factor 2011: 0.622)
http://nadir.uc3m.es/alejandro/pubs/siscp.html
Semantic technologies are gaining momentum and they are currently
achieving a certain degree of maturity. They provide a consistent and
reliable basis to face the challenges for organization, manipulation and
visualization of the data and knowledge, playing a crucial role as the
technological basis of the development of a large number of
Computational Intelligence systems. These technologies draw on standard
and novel techniques from various disciplines within Computer Science,
including Knowledge Engineering, Natural Language Processing, Artificial
Intelligence, Databases, Software Agents, etc. The methods and tools
developed and integrated for this purpose are generic and have a very
large application potential in a large amounts of fields like
Information Retrieval, Semantic Searches, Information Integration,
Information Interoperability, Bioinformatics, eHealth, eLearning,
Software Engineering, eCommerce, eGovernment, Social Networks, etc.
The aim of this special issue is to collect innovative and high-quality
research contributions regarding the role played by the Semantic
Technologies in computational systems, paying special attention to
programming techniques and tools. This special issue aims at exploring
the recent advances insemantic technologies and its application in
computational systems soliciting original scientific contributions in
the form of theoretical and experimental research and case studies.
The topics of this special issue include but are not limited to the
application of semantic technologies in the development of software
systems with foundations on:
• Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
• Knowledge Acquisition
• Ontological Engineering
• Ontology Sharing and Reuse
• Ontology Matching and Alignment
• Ontology Learning and Population
• Decision Support Systems
• Human-machine Interfaces
• Intelligent Multi-agent Systems
• Applications and Case-studies
• Application Programming Interfaces for Semantic Web
Application domains of interest include finance, open innovation,
healthcare, digital libraries, organizational learning, knowledge
management, e-government, eLearning, decision support, and multimedia
systems.
