New Deadline for Paper Submissions: March 14, 2008 --------------------------------------------------------------------- [Apologies for cross-postings. Please forward this mail to anyone interested] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for papers =================================== International Workshop on Advancing Reasoning on the Web: Scalability and Commonsense(ARea 2008) https://logic.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/wiki/ARea2008 Hosted by the 5th European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC-08) http://www.eswc2008.org/ June 1, 2008, Tenerife, Spain Submission Deadline for full paper: 14th of March, 2008 (12.00 AM, GMT) =================================== Workshop Description -------------------- Semantic Web Technologies provide concepts, architectures, and tools for interconnected vocabularies and applications. One of the declared goals of Semantic Web research is to enable intelligent software agents to reason about information and knowledge which is pervaded on the Web. To realize this, Semantic Web reasoning research has to face two apparently contradictory challenges: On the one hand, scalability to web size is crucial. On the other hand, expressive knowledge representation capabilities are needed, as traditionally studied in the area of commonsense reasoning. Workshop Objectives and Topics of Interest ------------------------------------------ We therefore seek to bring together researchers interested in scalable reasoning solutions for the Semantic Web as well as researchers in commonsense reasoning. We invite technical contributions and short statements of interest concerning all aspects of scalable reasoning and commonsense reasoning on and for the semantic web. These include: * new forms of reasoning * heuristic and approximate reasoning * querying and searching * scalability of reasoning to web level * nonmonotonicity for ontology languages * computational models of argumentation * dynamics of ontologies * contextualisation * temporal and spatial reasoning * inconsistency handling * rules and ontologies * uncertainty handling * planning and reasoning about action and change on the semantic web Important Dates --------------- Submission Deadline: 14th of March 2008 Notification: 11th of April, 2008 Camera-ready version: 25th of April, 2008 Workshop day: 2th of June, 2008 Submissions ----------- We will accept full papers (up to 15 pages) as well as short statements of interest (2 pages) in LNCS format. Both of these will be reviewed by members of the programme committee. Proceedings will be published in CEUR Workshop Proceedings (bearing an ISSN number). Submissions should be sent to Guilin Qi, gqi@aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de, no later than 14th of March 2008.
