It will >> bring industry and research together to present and discuss the pros >> and cons of applying semantic technologies in business processes, not >> only to identify how industrial requirements can be met, but also >> important issues of technology maturity, accessibility, integration >> into existing enterprise IT structures and maintenance throughout the >> entire ontology and metadata lifecycle. >> >> Call for papers >> >> We seek concrete results from technology transfer from research to >> industry of Semantic Web technologies. In particular, we invite >> researchers to report on their experiences from the application and >> use of semantic technology within business processes. >> >> We want to focus on: >> >> · how semantic technology is being used TODAY in industry >> >> · what still needs to be done by researchers to ensure that it will >> still be getting used TOMORROW (i.e. open requirements that have been >> identified in the transfer) >> >> The workshop provides an opportunity to inform an industry audience of >> real applications of semantic technology for enterprises today and >> gain feedback on open issues and unmet industry requirements. >> >> We plan to have a small number of presentations, a larger number of >> posters/demos and a significant timeslot for discussion (with a short >> keynote). >> >> Posters/demos will be made by technology developers who want to >> showcase semantic solutions in a smaller event with a high potential >> of direct contacts. >> >> Topics of Interest >> >> We aim for a broad range of topics to be covered in terms of their >> industrial value and barriers to uptake, including (but not limited >> to): >> >> · Ontology Engineering, >> · Metadata Extraction, >> · Reasoning, >> · Mediation, >> · Data Integration, >> · Semantic Web Services, >> · Search and Personalization, >> · Ontology methodologies in business practice, >> · Ontologies and corporate knowledge, >> · Representation of knowledge and business processes, >> · Linguistic representation in organizational knowledge, >> · Enterprise modelling, >> · Ontology evaluation >> · Ontologies and electronic catalogs, >> · Ontologies and e-commerce, >> · Ontologies in the practice of engineering, >> · Ontologies in the practice of medical sciences, >> · Ontologies in finance, Ontologies and e-government. >> >> Important Dates >> >> 15 September 2008 - Paper Submission >> 30 September 2008 - Notification of Acceptance >> 15 October 2008 - Camera Ready >> >> Submission >> >> Workshop submissions will be electronic and should follow the ASWC >> 2008 guidelines. >> >> Both researchers and practitioners can submit papers in two forms: >> >> 1) papers which might be accepted as theoretical or case study >> presentations (up to 6 pages). These should come from industry >> scenarios, presenting examples of semantic technologies adoption, new >> theoretical (both organizational and computer science) open problems, >> industry requirements, or other business experiences. >> >> 2) poster-demos which might be accepted as application presentations >> (up to 2 pages). The content should come from European, American or >> Asian technology providers, presenting examples of industry-suitable >> semantic tools. It is required a short description of the tool, >> justifying its usefulness in industry and describing the demo that >> will be made. >> >> The workshop proceeding format is LNCS (ASWC) see the conference website. >> >> Papers and poster-demos will be submitted to the EasyChair conference >> system available soon on line . >> >> For further information, please feel free to send any request to both >> Lyndon Nixon (nixon[at]inf.fu-berlin.de) and Roberta Cuel >> (roberta.cuel[at]economia.unitn.it). >> >> Organizing Committee >> >> · Roberta Cuel (University of Trento, Italy), contact email: >> roberta.cuel[at]economia.unitn.it >> · Lyndon Nixon (Free University Berlin , Germany), contact email: >> nixon[at]inf.fu-berlin.de >> >> Program Committee >> >> Hans Akkermans, Free University Amsterdam, The Netherlands >> >> Norbert Baumgartner, Communication Technology Management Ltd., Vienna, >> Austria >> >> · Wernher Behrendt, Salzburg Research Forschungsgesellschaft, Austria >> >> · Francesco Bellomi, Creactive Consulting S.p.A, Italy >> >> · Richard Benjamin, ISOCO, Spain >> >> · Claudio Bergamini, Imola Group, Italy >> >> · Elmar Dorner, SAP AG, Germany >> >> · Alexandre Delteil, France Telecom, France >> >> · Christian Fillies, Semtation Gmbh, Germany >> >> · Tim Geisler, webXcerpt Software GmbH, Germany >> >> · Gilles Kassel, Universite de Picardie Jules Verne, France >> >> · Ruben Lara, Telefonica R&D, Spain >> >> · Paulo Leitao, Escola Superior de Tecnologia e de Gestao, Polytechnic >> Institute of Braganca, Portugal >> >> · Riichiro Mizoguchi, The Institute of Scientific and Industrial >> Research, Osaka University >> >> · Jeff Pan, University of Aberdeen, UK >> >> · Andreas Persidis, Biovista, Greece >> >> · Daniele Radicioni, University of Turin, Italy >> >> · Gerstner Ralf, Springer, Germany >> >> · Jean Rohmer, Thales group, France >> >> · Marialuisa Sanseverino, Centro Ricerche Fiat, Turin, Italy >> >> · Hans-Peter Schnurr, Ontoprise and Customer, Germany >> >> · Elena Simpler, University of Innsbruck, Austria >> >> · Christoph Tempich, Detecon International GmbH, Germany >> >> · Chris van Aart, Sogeti, The Netherlands >> >> · Paul Warren, British Telecom, UK >> >> · Matthew West, Shell International Petroleum Company Limited, UK >> >> · David Wood, Zepheira LLC, USA >> > > -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Lyndon Nixon Lecturer/researcher, AG NBI www.ag-nbi.de nixon@inf.fu-berlin.de Dept.
