4th International Workshop on Advances in Semantic Information Retrieval 
(ASIR’14)

Warsaw, Poland, September 7-10, 2014

E-mail: asir2014@fedcsis.org

We would like to cordially invite you to consider contributing a paper 
to ASIR 2014 - held as a part of the Federated Conference on Computer 
Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS 2014).

FedCSIS is a yearly international multi-conference organized by the 
Polish Information Processing Society (PTI) in technical cooperation 
with the IEEE Region 8, IEEE Poland Section Computer Society Chapter, 
IEEE Poland (Gdansk) Section Computer Society Chapter, ACM Special 
Interest Group on Applied Computing, International Federation for 
Information Processing, European Alliance for Innovation, IEEE-CIS 
Poland Section Chapter, Informatics Europe, Asociación de Técnicos de 
Informática, Committee of Computer Science of the Polish Academy of 
Sciences, Polish Society for Business Informatics, Polish Chamber of 
Information Technology and Telecommunications, Polish Chamber of 
Commerce for High Technology and Eastern Cluster ICT Poland.

Recent advances in semantic technologies form a solid basis for a 
variety of methods and instruments that support multimedia information 
retrieval, knowledge representation, discovery and analysis. They 
influence the way and form of representing documents in the memory of 
computers, approaches to analyze documents, techniques to mine and 
retrieve knowledge. The abundance of video, voice and speech data also 
raises new challenging problems to multimedia information retrieval systems.
We believe that our workshop will facilitate discussions of new research 
results in this area, and will serve as a meeting place for researchers 
from all over the world. Our aim is to create an atmosphere of 
friendship and cooperation for everyone, interested in computational 
linguistics and semantic information retrieval. The ASIR’14 workshop 
will continue to maintain high standards of quality and organization, 
set in the previous years. We welcome all the researchers, interested in 
semantic information retrieval, to join our event.

TOPICS
=======================================

The workshop addresses semantic information retrieval theory and 
important matters, related to practical Web tools. The topics and areas 
include but not limited to:
- Domain-specific semantic applications.
- Evaluation methodologies for semantic search and retrieval.
- Models for document representation.
- Natural language semantic processing.
- Ontology for semantic information retrieval.
- Ontology alignment, mapping and merging.
- Query interfaces.
- Searching and ranking.
- Semantic multimedia retrieval.
- Visualization of retrieved results.

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
=======================================

Papers should be submitted by April 11, 2014. Preprints will be 
published on a USB memory stick provided to the FedCSIS participants. 
Only papers presented during the conference will be submitted to the 
IEEE for inclusion in the Xplore Digital Library. Furthermore, 
proceedings, published in a volume with ISBN and ISSN numbers will 
posted at the conference WWW site.  Since 2012, Proceedings of the 
FedCSIS conference are indexed in the Thomson Reuters Web of Science. 
Moreover, extended versions of selected papers presented during the 
conference will be published as Special Issue(s).
