INTRODUCTION:

The Software Engineering community has developed different tools, 
methodologies, standards and technologies to support the specification, 
development, and maintenance of software. Conversely, Semantic Web 
technologies provide a common framework that allows data to be shared 
and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries. 
Despite the different origin these research areas, the overlap between 
them is becoming a fact as demonstrated by the number of works applying 
research advances from one area into the other. For example, the 
application of Semantic Web Technologies in Software Engineering 
improves the reusability, sharing and extensibility of software models. 
On the other hand, Semantic Web Technologies can benefit from the more 
mature methods and standards developed by the Software Engineering 
community.

OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL COLLECTION:

The purpose of this special collection is to collect innovative and 
high-quality research contributions regarding the role played by the 
Semantic Technologies in Software Engineering and the use of methods and 
techniques of Software Engineering in the scope of the development of 
Semantic Web-based software applications. This special collection aims 
to explore the synergies between these technologies and give insights on 
the recent advances in these topics by soliciting original scientific 
contributions in the form of theoretical and experimental research and 
case studies.


SCOPE

The topics of this special issue include but are not limited to:
• Knowledge Representation in Software Engineering
• Knowledge Acquisition in Software Engineering
• Ontology Sharing and Reuse in Software Engineering
• Ontology Matching and Alignment in Software Engineering
• Semantic Interoperability
• Semantic Data Models
• Semantic Service Oriented Architectures
• Semantic Web Services and Cloud Computing
• Natural Language Processing applied to Software Engineering
• Software Engineering methods and standards applied to Semantic Web 
technologies
• Applications and Case-studies
