WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

SSWS 2018  is the twelfth edition  of the successful Scalable  Semantic Web
Knowledge Base Systems workshop series.  This workshop provides a forum for
discussing application-oriented  issues of Semantic Technologies,  with the
focus on the development and deployment  of systems that turn large volumes
of real-world  data into  actionable knowledge  at industry  domains.  This
imposes  significant scalability  requirements  on  storage and  processing
systems and demands for reliable workflows to curate and validate data from
various  sources. SSWS  furthermore  invites  contributions that  integrate
methods and  results from research  on Property Graphs and  Graph Databases
for  instance as  well as  approaches  that combine  Knowledge Graphs  with
machine learning.

SSWS welcomes submissions that address relevant research results, report on
real-world deployments as well as describe benchmarks and capable back ends
or system architectures.

As in previous years the SSWS workshop is co-located with the International
Semantic  Web  Conference (ISWC  2018).  This  year,  it  will be  held  in
Monterey, California, USA.

The workshop day is October 9, 2018

The workshop will be centered on the discussion of the following aspects:
* recent  ideas  and  advances  towards building  scalable  knowledge  base
   systems
* parallelization or optimization of  RDF/OWL storage, reasoning and SPARQL
   querying
* use-cases presenting Semantic Technologies  at industry scale performance
* evaluations and related principles, methodologies or tools
* tools and workflows  supporting validation and curation  of semantic data
   from various sources
* approaches  to  integrate  symbolic  with sub-symbolic  methods  such  as
   machine learning
* combining technology  and methods from  Property Graphs, RDF  Graphs, and
   OWL reasoning
* identification of  important issues  and future research  directions with
   respect to the topics above
