(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) 1st CALL FOR PAPERS =================================== International Workshop on Advancing Reasoning on the Web: Scalability and Commonsense (ARea 2008) located at the 5th European Semantic Web Conference ESWC2008 https://logic.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/wiki/ARea2008 Submission Deadline for full paper: 7th 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 are 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: 7th of March 2008 Notification: 4th of April, 2008 Camera-ready version: 18th of April, 2008 Workshop day: to be decided (between 1st and 5th 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 7th of March 2008.
