Aim, Scope, Goals:
- ------------------
Semantic Web denotes a major international research effort with the goal
to make Web content available for intelligent knowledge processing. The
Semantic Web draws on standard and novel techniques from various
disciplines related to Computer Science, including Artificial
Intelligence, Databases, Internet Technology, Software Agents,
Ontologies, Knowledge Management and eCommerce. The developed and
integrated methods and tools – often called Semantic Technologies – are
generic and have a very large application potential outside the domain
of Semantic Web.

Applications of Semantic Technologies are currently being investigated
in various fields, including Ambient Intelligence, Software Engineering,
Cognitive Systems, Corporate Intranets, Knowledge Management and
Bioinformatics. In recent years, the amount of data published on the
Semantic Web as so-called Linked Data has exploded. We believe that the
methods and tools provided by Semantic Technologies will play a crucial
role in these and other application areas for the foreseeable future, in
particular for added-value services in organizations.

The AST2013 workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners
who work on applications of Semantic Technologies in order to foster
cross-fertilisation between application areas and aid technology
transfer from foundational research into practice. The workshop covers
diverse application areas of Semantic Technologies, including, but not
limited to, the following:

* Ambient Intelligence
* Cognitive Systems
* Information Integration
* Multimedia Data Management
* Software Engineering
* smartEnergy
* Machine Learning
* Service-Oriented Computing
* Digital Libraries
* Grid and Cloud Computing
* Peer-to-Peer Systems
* Technology-enhanced learning
* eScience
* eCommerce
* eGovernment
* Bioinformatics
* Social Software
* Automation

The event will be organised as a full-day workshop with a keynote
address and several contributed talks. There will be an additional slot
reserved for an OpenSpace session to creatively explore new application
areas. We believe that this will spark fruitful discussions among
participants and initiate future collaborations and exploitation areas
for Semantic Technologies.
