Call for Participation 3rd International Summer School on Semantic Computing August 8-12, 2011 at the University of California, Berkeley Sponsored by IEEE and STI International Supported by PlanetData, Franz Inc. and videolectures.net Brought to you by the Institute of Semantic Computing and semsphere Semantic Computing is a rapidly-evolving research field that integrates representation, methods, and techniques from areas as diverse as multimedia, computational linguistics, semantic web, knowledge engineering and software engineering, with the goal of creating novel technologies and applications that connect intuitively formulated user intentions with the content and meaning of machine-represented data. In its third edition, the Summer School on Semantic Computing 2011 will provide an introduction to this interdisciplinary field, aimed at professionals, PhD candidates / graduate students and senior undergraduates. A mix of young and well-established researchers and educators will give tutorials on cutting-edge results in these areas, complemented by keynote talks by renowned experts and hands-on exercises that showcase the application of the most important technologies in real-world situations. The 5-day event will take place just off the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, August 8th-12th, 2011. The curriculum will include the following topics: - Multimedia Analysis, Annotation and Search - Natural Language Processing - Representation and Reasoning with Semantic Technologies - Linked Data and Services - Ontologies and Social Semantics We are thrilled to again announce an exciting programme of keynote speakers. This includes first two distinguished Berkeley emeritus professors: Lotfi Zadeh, widely credited as the creator of Fuzzy Logic, and Charles Fillmore, noted linguist and creator of Frame Semantics. Also from California, we welcome Craig Knoblock, director of the Information Integration Research Group at the Information Sciences Institute, USC, and Jans Aasman, President and CEO of Franz Inc. Finally from Graz University of Technology, we keenly anticipate the final keynote from Markus Strohmaier, Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Computer Science. Important Dates: * February 1, 2011: Registration opens * July 1, 2011: Registration closes * August 8, 2011: School starts For instruction on how to apply and other information, please visit the following website: http://sssc2011.sti2.org/
