Ontologies, DataBases, and Applications of Semantics (ODBASE 2012)
10-14 Sept 2012, Roma, Italy

**About ODBASE

The conference on Ontologies, DataBases, and Applications of Semantics 
for Large Scale Information Systems (ODBASE'12) provides a forum on the 
use of ontologies and data semantics in novel applications. Of 
particular relevance to ODBASE 2012 are papers that bridge traditional 
boundaries between disciplines such as databases, networking, mobile 
systems, artificial intelligence, information retrieval, and 
computational linguistics. We also encourage the submission of research 
and practical experience papers concerning scale issues in ontology 
management, information integration, and data mining, as well as papers 
that examine the information needs of various applications.

This year, in addition to its traditional focus on the management of 
semantically-rich information, ODBASE will have special themes on large 
scale information management and analysis. We encourage submissions in 
areas that connect semantics with the entire data flow cycle: data 
acquisition e.g. from sensors and mobile devices, data stream 
processing, e.g., filtering and event contextualization, to 
dissemination, e.g., publish/subscribe.

ODBASE'12 intends to draw a highly diverse body of researchers and 
practitioners by being part of the Federated conferences Event "On the 
Move to Meaningful Internet Systems 2012 (OnTheMove'12)" that co-locates 
three conferences: ODBASE'12, DOA-SVI'12 (International Symposium on 
Secure Virtual Infrastructures), and CoopIS'12 (International Conference 
on Cooperative Information Systems).

ODBASE 2012 will consider two categories of papers: research and 
experience. Research papers must contain novel, unpublished results. 
Experience papers must describe existing, real-world scale systems; 
preference will be given to papers that describe software products or 
systems that are in wide experimental use.

**SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Papers submitted to ODBASE'12 must not have been accepted for 
publication elsewhere or be under review for another workshop or conference.

All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, 
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. All papers 
will be refereed by at least three members of the program committee, and 
at least two will be experts from industry in the case of practice 
reports. All submissions must be in English.

Submissions must not exceed 18 pages in the final camera-ready paper 
style. Submissions must be laid out according to the final camera-ready 
formatting instructions and must be submitted in PDF format.
