CALL FOR PAPERS
ODBASE 2017 - The 16th International Conference on Ontologies, DataBases,
and Applications of Semantics
24-25 October 2017, Rhodes, Greece
http://www.otmconferences.org/index.php/conferences/odbase-2017
The conference on Ontologies, DataBases, and Applications of Semantics for
Large Scale Information Systems (ODBASE'17) provides a forum on the use of
ontologies, rules and data semantics in novel applications. Of particular
relevance to ODBASE are papers that bridge traditional boundaries between
disciplines such as artificial intelligence and Semantic Web, databases,
data analytics and machine learning, social networks, distributed and mobile
systems, information retrieval, knowledge discovery, and computational
linguistics.
This year, we emphasis the special topics of smart data analytics, Corporate
Semantic Web, and Pragmatic Web. The Corporate Semantic Web focuses on the
application of semantic methods and technologies in corporate environments
and enterprise information systems. The Pragmatic Web consists of the tools,
practices and theories describing why and how people use information. In
contrast to the Syntactic Web and Semantic Web the Pragmatic Web is not only
about form or meaning of information, but also about interaction which
brings about e.g. understanding or commitments. Under the Pragmatic Web
label we subsume both the pragmatics of ontologies (e.g. ontology
development in communities) and the ontology of pragmatics (e.g. semantics
of communicative action and context). Pragmatic Web technologies include
e.g., distributed ontology- and rule-based systems, tools for knowledge
interchange and social interaction, semantic agent technologies with
communication (e.g. speech acts), coordination, and negotiation protocols.
We also encourage the submission of research and practical experience papers
concerning software (e.g. scalability) and knowledge engineering issues in
semantic ontology and rule management, information/knowledge integration,
and extraction, as well as papers that examine the information and knowledge
needs of various applications.
ODBASE'17 intends to draw a highly diverse body of researchers and
practitioners by being part of the Federated conferences Event "On the Move
to Meaningful Internet Systems 2017 (OnTheMove'17)" that co-locates three
conferences: ODBASE'17, C&TC'17 (International Symposium on Secure Virtual
Infrastructures), and CoopIS'17 (International Conference on Cooperative
Information Systems).
ODBASE 2017 will consider two categories of papers: research and experience.
Research papers must contain novel, unpublished research results. Experience
papers must describe performance or usability of existing real-world
systems, empirical studies, business / industry cases with (proven)
solutions / systems for applied technological challenges, and concrete
results demonstrating real-world importance and impact; preference will be
given to papers that describe software products or systems that are in use
in the community and/or the industry.
