Description

=======

The aim of BLINK is to provide a forum where topics related to the 
evaluation (included, but not limited to new benchmarks; benchmarking 
results; new measures for the performance, accuracy, expressive power 
and usability) of Linked Data Technologies can be discussed and 
elaborated upon. This workshop aims to bring together a broad range of 
attendants interested in evaluation Linked Data and related technologies.


Topics of Interest

===============

We welcome contributions presenting technical contributions regarding 
the development of benchmarks for all aspects of the Linked Data/Big 
Data lifecycle as well as practical experiences with benchmarking Linked 
Data technologies. All domains (e.g., life science, social networks, 
smart cities, news, digital forensics, e-science and geo-spatial data 
management) are welcome.


Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Benchmarks for any aspect of Linked Data

* Benchmarking platforms

* Novel benchmarking results

* Analysis of existing benchmarks

* Novel measures for benchmarking Linked Data

* Linked Data benchmark evaluation

* Complex benchmarking pipelines

* Application of benchmarks in academic/industrial settings

* Tools and methodologies for the linked data generation and 
acquisition, analytics and processing, storage and curation, 
visualization and data access.


This series of workshops are supported by H2020 European Project HOBBIT 
(Holistic Benchmarking of Big Linked Data), see http://project-hobbit.eu/.


Paper Submission

===========

The workshop will accept two types of submissions: short papers (8 
pages) will be either position papers or describe early works in the 
area of benchmarking. Long papers (up to 16 pages) will describe 
benchmarks, benchmarking techniques or benchmarking results along the 
linked data lifecycle. Details on the submission process can be found at 
http://project-hobbit.eu/events/blink-2016/



Submission Details

============

The workshop is now accepting paper submissions. Long papers (up to 16 
pages) and short papers (up to 8 pages) describing approaches or ideas / 
challenges on the topics of the workshop are invited. Submissions must 
be in PDF, formatted in the style of the Springer Publications format 
for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). For details on the LNCS 
style, see Springer’s Author Instructions. Papers should be submitted 
through the EasyChair system 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=blink2016 no later than midnight 
Hawaii time July 15th, 2016. Submissions will be reviewed by members of 
the workshop program committee. Accepted papers will be included in the 
ISWC 2016 Workshop on Benchmarking Linked Data (BLINK) proceedings.


Best wishes,

Axel
