2nd CALL FOR PAPERS 
_______________________ 


Workshop on ONTOlogy-driven APPlications in distributed systems 
(ONTOAPP) -- http://ontoapp.istase.fr 


June 23-27, 2008, Lyon, France 


To be held in conjunction with 8th International Conference on New 
Technologies of Distributed Systems (NOTERE'08) -- 
http://liris.cnrs.fr/notere08/ 


Workshop Scope: 
_______________ 


Ontologies are becoming widespread in several and disconnected 
domains. 
Their usage lead to new software architectures, especially in the 
field 
of distributed systems. It is however difficult to measure the impact 
of 
their use in distributed environments. 


Obviously, feed backs from innovative software driven by ontologies 
are 
mandatory for a better comprehension on how ontologies are used in 
real 
use case (how does ontologies perform in practice ? What is the 
benefit/drawbacks for the software architect(s) using them ? What is 
the 
benefit for the user(s) ? What are their limitations ? etc.). 


OntoAPP is a unique chance to make people interested in knowledge- 
based 
systems meet, from theoretical aspects to applied research project. 


Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 
___________________________________________________ 


-        Knowledge based systems (KBS) 
-        Use cases and feed backs on the usage of ontologies in 
specific 
domains 
-        Evaluation of KBS 
-        Querying of KBS 
-        Ontologies integration 
-        Common mistakes in ontologies design 
-        Interoperability and ontologies 
-        Collaborative Work and ontologies 
-        Usability and ontologies 
-        Semantic web and ontologies deployments 
-        Edition tools for ontologies 
-        Verification tools for ontologies 
-        Knowledge Management in distributed systems 
-        Ontologies and computer supported collaborative work 
-        Ontologies in e-commerce, e-government 
-        Ontologies in e-learning and e-science 
-        Ontologies and security
