CFP: 1st International Workshop on Advanced Reasoning Technology (ART2012) for e-Science (second call, deadline extended)

============================================================
The First International Workshop on Advanced Reasoning Technology (ART) for
e-Science
         November 28, 2012, Paphos, Cyprus (http://wasp.cs.vu.nl/art2012/)
Collocated with the 13th International Conference on Web Information System
Engineering (WISE2012)
============================================================

Overview
---------
Reasoning and inference about semantically annotated data is a key
technology for any future application aiming at exploring digital
information. The ART2012 workshop is a reaction on the novel challenges of
the Semantic Web, which the modern information mining and reasoning
technology face with. Among those challenges are size, completeness,
closeness, trustworthiness, consistence, coherence, and dynamic nature of
the explored data. The workshop will elaborate a strategy and a roadmap for
the traditional reasoning approaches such as complete and deductive
reasoning to be advanced by the novel techniques such as automated and
streaming reasoning in order to get a dominating position on the
Intelligent Information Management system market, leveraging the on-demand
infrastructures such as high performance computing and Cloud.

ART2012 will continue the discussion forum started at the previous
workshops such as NeFoRS'07, NeFoRS'08, SR'09, and NeFoRS'10.

The ART workshop invites submissions that address world-class research and
development and highlight innovative and emerging systems, methods, and
technologies in Semantic Web Reasoning. The workshop explores the latest
and most innovative work in the following topics:

-> scalable reasoning for the Web
-> automated reasoning
-> web scale querying and searching
-> reasoning with inconsistent ontologies
-> temporal and spatial reasoning in the Semantic Web
-> abduction reasoning in the Semantic Web
-> stream reasoning in the Semantic Web
-> efficient storage of structured data that scale to a very large size
-> reasoning with large, expressive or distributed ontologies
-> distribution and parallelization for semantic reasoning
-> cognitively-inspired approaches to deal with large and dynamic
information
-> implementation and evaluation of scalable and dynamic reasoners
-> applications of reasoning on large and dynamic datasets
