Objectives
----------
Semantic Web is a major international research effort with the goal to
make web content available for intelligent knowledge processing. The
Semantic Web draws on standard and novel techniques from various
disciplines related to Computer Science, including Artificial
Intelligence, Databases, Internet Technology, Software Agents, Ontologies,
Knowledge Management and eCommerce. The developed and integrated methods
and tools ? often called Semantic Technologies ? are generic and have a
very large application potential outside the domain of Semantic Web.
Applications of Semantic Technologies are currently being investigated in
various fields, including Ambient Intelligence, Software Engineering,
Cognitive Systems, Corporate Intranets, Knowledge Management and
Bioinformatics. In recent years the amount of data published on the
Semantic Web as so-called Linked Data has exploded. We believe that the
methods and tools provided by Semantic Technologies will play a crucial
role in these and other application areas for the foreseeable future, in
particular for community-based information platforms.

Topics of Interest
------------------
This workshop shall bring together researchers and practitioners who work
on applications of Semantic Technologies. It shall further the
cross-fertilization between application areas and aid the technology
transfer from foundational research into practice. The workshop shall
cover diverse application areas of Semantic Technologies, including, but
not limited to, the following.
* Ambient Intelligence
* Bioinformatics, eHealth and Life Sciences
* Business Process Management
* Cognitive Systems
* Digital Libraries
* eCommerce
* eGovernment
* eScience
* Grid and Cloud Computing
* Information Integration
* Internet of Things
* Machine Learning
* Mobile Computing
* Multimedia Data Management
* Social Sciences
* Software Engineering
* Service-Oriented Computing
* Service Innovation and Management
* Text Mining and Information Extraction
* and any other application area of Semantic Technologies
Along the spotlight topic "Service Science" of Informatik 2011, we
specifically encourage submissions that cover applications of Semantic
Technologies in the aforementioned areas of Service-Oriented Computing,
Service Innovation and Management, Business Process Management and other
areas relevant for our increasingly services-led economy. We plan to
cluster these topics in a spotlight session of the AST 2011 workshop.
