Deadline Approaching: IJSWIS Special Issue on Mining Associations and Patterns from the Semantic Data Web

Special Issue on Mining Associations and Patterns from the Semantic Data Web

Guest editors: Kemafor Anyanwu, Ying Ding, Jie Tang, and Philip Yu

Large amounts of Semantic Data is being generated through semantic
extractions from and annotation of traditional Web, social and sensor
data. Linked Open Data has provided excellent vehicle for representation
and sharing of such data. Primary vehicle to get semantics useful for
better integration, search and decision making is to find interesting
relationships or associations, expressed as meaningful paths, subgraphs
and patterns. This special issue seeks theories, algorithms and
applications of extracting such semantic relationships from large amount
of semantic data. Example topics include:

    * Theories to ground associations and patterns with social,
socioeconomic, biological semantics
    * Representation (e.g. language extensions) to express meaningful
relationships and patterns
    * Algorithms to efficiently compute and mine semantic associations
and patterns
    * Techniques for filtering, ranking and/or visualization of
semantic associations and patterns
    * Application of semantic associations and patterns in a domain
with significant social or society impact

IJSWIS is included in most major indices including CSI, with Thomson
Scientific impact factor 2.345. We seek high quality manuscripts
suitable for an archival journal based on original research. If the
manuscript is based on a prior workshop or conference submission,
submissions should reflect significant novel contribution/extension in
conceptual terms and/or scale of implementation and evaluation (authors
are highly encouraged to clarify new contributions in a cover letter or
within the submission).
