Call For Papers - CFP

Papers describing Semantic Web application experiences are particularly encouraged.

The special topic "Reliability of ontologies" aims on detecting reusable ontologies and measuring the reliability of possible reusable ontology candidates. How can we measure the reliability and the usability of ontologies? Which adaptations of state-of-the-art ontology engineering methodologies are necessary to support modeling reusable ontologies? What measurements for defining and comparing ontologies can be used and how could ontology repositories use them?

These are some of the open research questions to be addressed by papers dedicated to this year's special topic.

TOPICS

The relevant topics include the following (but are not limited to):

Knowledge management and sharing

Interoperability and data integration through semantic technology

Ontology modeling, reuse, extraction, and evolution

Ontology mapping, merging, and alignment

Ontology learning and metadata generation

PAPER SUBMISSION DETAILS

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research and application papers that are not being considered in another forum.

Manuscripts will be limited to 5 two-column pages (IEEE Proceeding style) including figures and references. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines to prepare your papers. Authors of accepted papers are requested to sign the IEEE copyright form. The author guidelines can be found at IEEE Conference Publishing Services - Proceedings Author Forms.

Electronic submission of manuscripts (in PDF, postscript, or word format) is required. Paper submission. For any questions please contact websfaw.uni-linz.ac.at.

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend the conference and present the paper. Papers accepted for presentation will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press as proceedings of the DEXA 2011 workshops.

Authors are requested to send their paper(s) to be received by March 04, 2011.

EVALUATION PROCESS

All submissions will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and technical soundness. Each paper will be refereed by at least three researchers in the topical area.
