Special Collection on Software Engineering and Semantic Web Technologies

Journal of Research and Practice in Information Technology (JRPIT) (JCR, IMPACT FACTOR 2009: 0.500)

Guest Editors: Rafael Valencia-García, Universidad de Murcia, Spain Francisco García-Sánchez, Universidad de Murcia, Spain

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

IMPORTANT DATES · Submission Deadline: April. 15, 2011
