Call for Papers
Introduction
The I-KNOW '06 Special Track on Advanced Semantic Technologies addresses the
emerging field of semantic technologies in knowledge management and
information retrieval. Original papers are solicited and will be reviewed by
a board of international experts.
Topics include but are not limited to:
* Retrieval based on knowledge organisation systems (KOS)
* Ontology powered information systems
* Ontologies and knowledge representation in applied knowledge management
* Probabilistics in knowledge representation
* Ontology learning and extraction
* Modeling and retrieval of semantic metadata
* Semantic analysis of structured and unstructured data
* Knowledge discovery in the Semantic Web
* Semantic agent technologies
Submissions might also address applications of semantic technologies in
areas such as knowledge management, competency management, workflow
management, search engines, decision support, e-learning, healthcare, mobile
and pervasive computing or bioinformatics.
Background
The area of semantic technologies combines a series of hot topics: The
Semantic Web, knowledge organization systems (KOS), agent technologies and
ontologies.
While the Semantic Web is based on a series of definitions and aims to build
a new way of sharing and searching for information in the Internet,
knowledge organization systems and ontologies allow the formal definition of
explicit knowledge. Agent technologies benefit from the explicit knowledge
provided in the semantic web through processing it for completing their
programmed tasks.
The areas of information retrieval and information systems find themselves
facing new requirements: In information retrieval knowledge has to be
integrated in the process of finding and ranking search results as well as
in the processes of clustering and classifying information. Information
systems aim to include ontologies for enhancing their results by using a
knowledge base.
Within the Special Track on Advanced Semantic Technologies we aim to bring
together researchers from different areas of semantic and knowledge based
systems research to exchange experiences, present and talk about the results
of their work and discuss hot topics.
Target Group
The topics mentioned above are addressed at researchers and developers as
well as at innovative practitioners and providers in the fields of semantic
technologies. The special track will be held in English.
Submission Instructions and Procedure
Submissions should be handed in as full papers and should not exceed 8
pages.
Please use the I-KNOW style guides and submit your contribution in PDF or MS
Word format. In case of problems or questions concerning the submission of
papers , please contact the track chairs at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Submissions, regardless of category, should include title, author(s),
abstract, keywords, body, and references. Submissions are to be made
electronically in PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format) or MS Word format.
Submissions are treated as confidential communications during the review
process, so submission does not constitute public disclosure of any ideas
therein. Submissions should contain no information or materials that will be
proprietary or confidential at the time of publication, and should cite no
publications that are proprietary or confidential at the time of
publication.
Important Dates
* 3rd April 2006 Submission of the full paper (8 pages)
* 22nd May 2006 Notification of acceptance
* 26th June 2006 Camera ready paper (8 pages)
* 6th September 2006 AST 2006 special track
Publication
Accepted papers will be published within the I-KNOW'06 conference
proceedings in cooperation with J.UKM and Springer Co. Pub. At least one
author of an accepted paper must register for the I-KNOW conference before
the deadline for
camera-
ready-copies of the papers (26 June 2006). Otherwise the paper will not be
published.
Conference Organization
The 6th International Conference on Knowledge Management (I-KNOW '06,
http://www.i-know.at) is organized by the Know-Center, Austria's Competence
Center for knowledge management.
