Apologies for multiple copies due to cross-postings. First Call for Submissions: ======================================= Third International Contest on Semantic Service Selection (S3) October 25, 2009 @ 3rd International Workshop SMR2 of the 8th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) Washington D.C., USA Contest website: http://www.dfki.de/~klusch/s3/html/2009 ========================================= The international S3 contest on semantic service selection provides means and forum for the joint and comparative evaluation of the retrieval performance (recall/precision, F1, AQRT, etc) of publicly available Semantic Web service matchmakers over given public test collections. This year, the S3 Contest features three tracks: Track 1: OWL-S matchmaker evaluation Track 2: SAWSDL matchmaker evaluation Track 3: Service selection cross-evaluation Preliminary Program ******************* http://www-ags.dfki.uni-sb.de/~klusch/s3/html/program1.html How to Participate in the S3 Contest? ************************************* The first two tracks of the contest are based on readily available semantic service retrieval test collections OWLS-TC3 and SAWSDL-TC2 for OWL-S, respectively, SAWSDL service selection approaches (matchmakers). Participation requires you only to make your individual service matchmaker available for its evaluation by the semantic service retrieval evaluation environment SME2. OWLS-TC3: http://projects.semwebcentral.org/projects/owls-tc/ SAWSDL-TC2: http://projects.semwebcentral.org/projects/sawsdl-tc/ SME2: http://projects.semwebcentral.org/projects/sme2/ The third track is open for any service matchmaker: To participate in this special track on service selection cross-evaluation, you need to provide your own semantic annotations of services in the given special collection JGD (Jena Geographical Dataset) of geographical services in the formalism of your choice (OWL-S, SAWSDL, WSML, Text/Tagging, etc), and possibly your special matchmaker for this format. The special JGD collection will be included in the test collections OWLS-TC3 and SAWSDL-TC2. Results of all three tracks will be presented and discussed at the SMR2 Workshop at ISWC 2009. For detailed information on how to participate with your matchmaker, pls visit http://www.dfki.de/~klusch/s3/html/participation2.html Please let us know whether you are planning to participate in the S3 Contest, especially what track, and if so when we may expect your entry. Please do not hesitate to contact us in case you encounter any problems with using the SME2 for your matchmaker which we could help you to easily solve. Thanks! Deadline for Submissions of Entries *********************************** Deadline for submissions to the S3 Contest in 2009: October 6, 2009 If your entry could be ready before this deadline PLEASE do not hesitate to do and submit it to us as soon as possible for testing it, thus making sure everything runs smoothly in the final presentation round! PLEASE NOTE: Submissions of entries to the S3 contest that reach us after this year's deadline will be automatically taken for the 2010 edition of the S3 contest - unless you tell us differently. In addition, you may also consider submitting a paper that describes your semantic service matchmaking approach to the SMR2 workshop which is hosting the S3 contest this year: http://www.dfki.de/~klusch/smr2-09/html/submission.html The submission deadline for this workshop is Ausgust 11, 2009. Submission of a paper to SMR2 is NOT a requirement for participating in the S3 contest though. Thanks a lot for your efforts and support of this contest in advance!! Registration ************ Participation in the S3 contest is entirely free of charge. However, we strongly encourage you to also attend the final presentation of the results of the S3 contest 2009 at the hosting workshop SMR2 (http://www.dfki.de/~klusch/smr2-09/) which, in this case, requires your registration to both the ISWC 2009 conference (http://iswc2009.semanticweb.org/) and the SMR2 workshop.
