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.
