*****************************************************************************************
FQAS is the premier conference focusing on the key issue in the
information society of providing easy, flexible, and intuitive access to
information to everybody. In targeting this issue, the conference draws on
several research areas, such as information retrieval, database
management, data science, information filtering, knowledge representation,
knowledge discovery, analytics, soft computing, management of multimedia
information, and human-computer interaction. The guiding topic of the FQAS
conferences are innovative query systems aimed at providing easy, flexible
and human-friendly access to information. Such systems are becoming
increasingly important also due to the huge and always growing number of
users as well as the growing amount of available information. Thus, the
works related to the concepts of data science, data streams querying etc.
are very welcome
Since 1994, the conference has provided a unique and multidisciplinary
forum for researchers, developers and practitioners to explore and
exchange new ideas and approaches in all mentioned research areas.
We invite submission of original research contributions, and proposals for
invited sessions, panels, and tutorials. Topics of interest include, but
are not limited to, the following in the context of intelligent
information access and/or flexible query answering systems:
· Flexible question answering systems
· Context-awareness in query interpretation
· Multimodal, Spoken and Multimedia query answering
· Mobile information access systems
· Ambient information access systems
· Semantic Web
· Data science and big data
· Knowledge Discovery
· Multimedia information Management
· Business Analytics
· Information Retrieval, Extraction and Fusion
· Text and data mining
· Knowledge representation
· Ontologies
· Ontology based query answering
· Database management
· Cross language querying and retrieval
· Semantic query expansion
· Domain and User Context Modelling
· Privacy preserving Querying Answering
· Human-Computer Interaction
· User interfaces and data visualization
· Search engines
