AAAI2007's Workshop on Semantic e-Science (SeS07)

23 July, 2007, Vancouver, Canada, co-located with AAAI’07
http://neuroweb.med.yale.edu/ses2007 

*******************************************************

As semantic technology has been gaining momentum in various e-Science areas
(for 

example, W3C’s new interest group for semantic web health care and life 

science), it is important to offer semantic-based methodologies, tools, 

middleware to facilitate scientific knowledge modeling, logical-based
hypothesis 

checking, semantic data integration and application composition, integrated 

knowledge discovery and data analyzing for different e-Science applications.

 

Partially influenced by the Artificial Intelligence community, the Semantic
Web 

researchers have largely focused on formal aspects of semantic
representation 

languages or general-purpose semantic application development, with
inadequate 

consideration of requirements from specific science areas. On the other
hand, 

general science researchers are growing ever more dependent on the web, but
they 

have no coherent agenda for exploring the emerging trends on the semantic
web 

technologies. It urgently requires the development of a multi-disciplinary
field 

to foster the growth and development of e-Science applications based on the 

semantic technologies and related knowledge-based approaches. 

 

Following the success of SeS2006
(http://km.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/ws/SeS2006/ ), 

SeS2007 aims to provide an inter-disciplinary forum for researchers from
both 

the Semantic Web community, and general science communities including the
life 

science community.

 

Semantic e-Science Foundations:

  Knowledge Representation for e-Science 

  Ontology Engineering for e-Science 

  Knowledge Integration for e-Science 

  Knowledge Management for e-Science 

  Semantic Data Integration 

  Semantic Web Services 

  e-Science Process Management 

  Semantic Infrastructure and Architecture for e-Science 

  Semantic Grid Middleware 

  Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery 

 

Semantic Web Applications and Ontologies for:

  Semantic Web for Health Care and Life Science 

  Semantic Web for Bio-Med-informatics 

  Semantic Web for System and Integrated Biology 

  Semantic Web for Translational Medicine 

  Biological Semantic Network 

  Semantic Web for Geography, Environment and Climate 

  Semantic Web for Chemistry, Physics and Mechanics 

  Semantic Web and Digital Libraries and Scientific Publication 

 

Submission and Proceedings

 

 

We invite academic/industrial researchers and practitioners to submit
original 

research papers, well-written surveys, or papers describing deployed systems
to 

the workshop. The papers must not exceed 8 pages in length including
references 

and should be prepared using the AAAI formatting guidelines. The papers
should 

be submitted by using the paper submission system at 

http://www.easychair.org/SeS2007AAAI2007/ no later than March 27,2007. Each 

paper will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the PC. Authors of accepted 

papers will be required to submit final camera-ready copy to the organizers
on 

May 15,2007.

 

The workshop proceeding will be published as AAAI technical report. All
accepted 

papers will be included in the AAAI Digital Library, and distributed by
AAAI. 

Besides, as SeS2006, we are planning to organize journal special issues for 

extended version of selected high-quality work.
