Fwd: CFP: J.UCS New trends in Semantic Web-based applications
by Miguel Angel Rodriguez Garcia 27 Dec '17

27 Dec '17

Apologise for duplicated emails Journal of Universal Computer Science (J.UCS) Special Issue *New trends in Semantic Web-based applications* *Description and Scope:* Semantic Web technologies are becoming more relevant to the research community. Such interest has inspired many people to create innovative technologies and applications such as Semantic Searches, Information Integration, Information Interoperability, Bioinformatics, eHealth, eLearning, Software Engineering, eCommerce, eGovernment, Social Networks. In this sense, the application of semantic web has carried out an extensive use of ontologies in such diverse fields. The application of ontologies has supposed an incredible advance in developing techniques to manipulate, share, reuse and integrate information across heterogeneous data sources. In particular, in Big Data to preserve such homogeneous format has become one of the principal problems that these tremendous datasets are facing. To face this difficulty, research areas like Natural Language Processing, Ontology Matching, Ontology Alignment or Ontology population are providing efficient methodologies based on RDF and OWL language technologies to provide standard ways to convert such datasets into Linked Data uniform format. Nowadays, the usage of Linked Data format has been established as a de facto standard; everyone wants to publish their data in such format, Social Networks, Smart cities and Context-aware mobile applications. Thus, according to this demand, the development of certain techniques to enable users to publish, visualize and manipulate their data in an easy way is high-demanded. Also, the standardization of this linked format has completely revolutionized the way of representing and analyzing data demanding new graph-based machine learning and data mining techniques to explore such representation. On the other hand, with the arrival of ontologies, fundamental questions have emerged about which kind of elements should be defined in an ontology model to specify knowledge and how this knowledge should be represented. In response to these questions, Ontological Engineering, Knowledge Representation and Reasoning research areas are working intensively to develop generic models which enable systems to employ reasoning techniques to produce knowledge. Therefore, the main objective of this special issue is to collect and consolidate innovative and high-quality research contributions regarding to semantic Web-based applications applied to different disciplines such as Artificial Intelligence, Database Management, Knowledge Representation and Engineering, Natural Language and Processing, Cloud Computing, Social Web, Web Science, among others. This special issue aims to provide insights on the recent advances in these topics by soliciting original scientific contributions in the form of theoretical foundations, models, experimental research and case studies for developing semantic Web-based applications. *Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:* • Knowledge Representation and Reasoning • Knowledge Acquisition • Ontological Engineering • Ontology Sharing and Reuse • Ontology Matching and Alignment • Ontology Learning and Population • Semantic Web Semantic Integration of heterogeneous data sources • Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval using Semantic technologies • Social Semantic Web and Web science • Knowledge-based Decision Support Systems • Linked Data Applications Industrial Applications and Case-studies • Context-aware visualization and interaction technique • Visualizations and user interfaces for ontologies and Linked Data • Consumption and publication of Linked Data • Extraction, linking and integration of Linked Data • Social Networks and Graph Analysis • Web mining and Web search systems • Semantic Data Management technologies for Big Data • Mobile Web, Sensors and Semantic Streams • Services, APIs, Processes and Cloud Computing • Smart Cities, Urban and Geospatial Data • Machine Learning and Data Mining for Web of Data • Solutions for bridging the gap between Web of Data and the Web of Services *Instructions for authors* Authors should submit their paper via email: miguel.rodriguez(a)urjc.es, valencia(a)um.es and galor(a)itorizaba.edu.mx and the subject of the email should be: “J.UCS SI Submission: Semantic Web”.

Further details follow: *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** Call for contributions to the JSC Special Issue on Dynamic Geometry and Automated Reasoning https://sites.google.com/site/kovzol/jsc-si-dg-ar <https://sites.google.com/site/kovzol/jsc-si-dg-ar> JSC=Journal of Symbolic Computation* https://www.journals <https://www.journals/>. elsevier.com/journal-of-symbolic-computation <http://elsevier.com/journal-of-symbolic-computation> GUEST EDITORS: Francisco Botana, University of Vigo, Spain Zoltán Kovács, The Private University College of Education of the Diocese of Linz, Austria Tomas Recio, University of Cantabria, Spain IMPORTANT DATES submission deadline: February 1, 2018 notification of acceptance / rejection: July 1, 2018 final versions: September 15, 2018 SCOPE: Since the last half century, automated deduction in elementary geometry has become one of the most successful achievements in the field of automated reasoning. Along these decades various methods and techniques have been studied and developed for automated proving and discovering of elementary geometry statements. On the other hand, dynamic geometry software systems have emerged, such as Cabri Geometry, C.a.R., Cinderella, DrGeo, GeoGebra, The Geometer's Sketchpad, Geometry Expert, Geometry Expressions or Kig with an ever-increasing presence in mathematics education. Some of them possess a large number of users (over thirty million) all around the world. The merging of these two tools (automatic proving and dynamic geometry) is, thus, a very natural, challenging and promising issue, currently involving logic, symbolic computation, software development, algebraic geometry and mathematics education experts all from over the world. The Special Issue intends to be an opportunity for - presenting the current state of the art concerning the development of automatic proving features on dynamic geometry systems, - discussing the current and potential applications of such features in different contexts, such as CAGD or mathematics education. TOPICS (not restricted to): - Algorithmic aspects: formal, logic and algebraic geometry approaches, constraint solving, invariant and coordinate-free methods, real and complex geometry issues, probabilistic, synthetic approaches, techniques from discrete mathematics, combinatorics, and numerics. - Software aspects: Implementation of automated proving methods in dynamic geometry programs, design of packages and systems, data representation. Parallel and distributed computing, considerations for modern hardware and new devices. User-interface issues, use with systems for digital libraries, courseware, ... - Application aspects: applications to mechanics, geometric modeling, CAGD/CAD, computer vision, robotics and education. Papers must not duplicate work already published or submitted for publication elsewhere. All the papers will be refereed according to the JSC standards. Papers should follow the guidelines for JSC submissions (see https://www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-of-symbolic-computation/0747-7171… <https://www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-of-symbolic-computation/0747-7171…>), and should be submitted through Easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jscdgarsi2018 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jscdgarsi2018>). The introduction of the paper must explicitly address the following questions in succinct and informal manner: - What is the problem? - Why is the problem important? - What has been done so far on the problem? - What is the main contribution of the paper on the problem? - Why is the contribution original? (see below for clarification) - Why is the contribution non-trivial? Make the paper complete (since there is no page limit): - All the related works and issues must be completely and carefully discussed. - All the previous relevant JSC papers must be properly cited and discussed. - All the theorems must be rigorously proved (no sketch allowed). - All the important definitions/theorems/algorithms must be illustrated by well-chosen examples. * An international journal, the Journal of Symbolic Computation, founded by Bruno Buchberger in 1985, is directed to mathematicians and computer scientists who have a particular interest in symbolic computation. Automated theorem proving is one of the research areas of interest highlighted in the Journal’s description. The Journal of Symbolic Computation has a 1.274 Impact Factor, according to the last Thompson Reuters Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2017).

CFP: Third IEEE Workshop on Smart Service Systems (SmartSys), Sicily, June 18th/20th, 2018
by Sreenivasan Ramamurthy 21 Dec '17

21 Dec '17

[We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] *CALL FOR PAPERS - IEEE SmartSys 2018* Third IEEE Workshop on Smart Service Systems (SmartSys) Co-located with the IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP 2018) Sicily, June 18th/20th, 2018 http://mpsc.umbc.edu/smartsys/2018/ <http://mpsc.umbc.edu/smartsys18/> Technology succeeds when it provides benefits to the society either directly or indirectly. Understanding the societal and economic impact and human-centered aspects of a smart system or technology in advance and designing the system apriori with potential value-added services help spur the discoveries of new tools, methodologies, and innovative services. Smart service systems span across a variety of socio-technical facets comprising of devices, people, organizations, environments, and technologies to sense, actuate, control and assess the physical, cyber and societal artifacts of the human service systems. Besides the systems being self-adaptive and fault-tolerant, need to be designed in such a way that it can continuously increase the quality and productivity, the compliance and sustainability of the smart services it offers. While human-centered perspective and cognitive learning help create multi-facet value-added services and catalyze the sustained economic growth of smart service systems, understanding the multi-modal sensing, control, heterogeneity and interdependency between different physical, virtual and logical components of such a complex system will enable the realization of new transformative smarter service systems. If successful, this can help improve the quality-of-service of the customers, quality-of-life of the citizens and quality-of returns of the stakeholders and investors. Nurturing the development of smart service systems seeks for inter- and trans-disciplinary crosscutting research threads from system and operational engineering, computer science and information systems, social and behavioral science, computational modeling and industrial engineering etc. The goal of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the fundamental knowledge and principles of smart service systems that enable the value co-creation in sensing, actuating, data analytics, learning, cognition, and control of human-centric cyber-physical-social systems.
