[CFP] Web Stream Processing workshop @ ISWC 2017

Web Stream Processing workshop 2017 (WSP2017)
=======================================
Co-located with the 16th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2017),
October 22nd, 2017 Vienna, Austria
http://streamreasoning.org/events/wsp2017

Abstract
--------
More and more applications require real-time processing of massive, 
dynamically generated, ordered data, where order is often an essential 
factor reflecting recency. Data stream management techniques provide 
reactive and reliable processing mechanisms over such data. Key to their 
success is the use of streaming algorithms that harness the natural or 
enforceable orders in the data.

This trend started to be visible also in the Web, where an increasing 
number of streaming sources and datasets are becoming available. They 
originate from social networks, sensor networks, Internet of Things 
(IoT) and many other technologies that find in the Web a platform for 
sharing data. This is resulting in new Web-centric efforts such as the 
Web of Things, which studies how to expose and describe IoT using the 
Web, or the Social Web, which investigates protocols, vocabularies, and 
APIs to facilitate access to social functionality as part of the Web. In 
the Semantic Web context emerged efforts like Stream Reasoning and RDF 
Stream Processing. Stream Reasoning aims at combing data stream 
management and semantic technologies to perform reasoning over massive, 
heterogeneous and dynamic data;, while RDF Stream Processing studies the 
continuous query answering process over data streams modelled 
accordingly to the RDF model.

The workshop aims at putting together such sub-communities and to 
discuss and investigate holistic processing models for streams over the 
Web, which consider the issues about publishing data streams on the Web 
as well as processing them with queries and inference processes. The 
event will contribute in the creation of an active community interested 
in integrating stream processing and reasoning by using methods inspired 
by data and knowledge management.

Submissions
-----------
We will welcome submissions describing ideas, experiments, and 
application visions related to data streams on the Web. We will 
encourage short position and short demo papers not exceeding 8 pages as 
well as longer technical papers not exceeding 16 pages.

Submissions should be formatted according to the Lecture Notes in 
Computer Science guidelines for proceedings available at 
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0. Papers 
should be submitted in PDF format, but other formats are welcome upon 
agreement (please contact the chairs in case). All submissions will be 
done electronically via the EasyChair Web submission system 
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wsp2017).

At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the 
workshop. Information about registration will appear soon on the ISWC 
2017 Web page.
