== OntologySummit2012: "Ontology for Big Systems" - Workshop/Symposium
Event Summary ==    (07)

This year's Ontology Summit is titled "Ontology for Big Systems" and
seeks to explore, identify and articulate how ontological methods can
bring value to the various disciplines required to engineer a "big
system." The term "big system" is intended to cover a large scope that
includes many of the terms encountered in the media such as big data,
complex techno-socio-economic systems, intelligent or smart systems,
cloud computing, netcentricity and collective intelligence.
Established disciplines that fall within the summit scope include (but
not limited to) systems engineering, software engineering, information
systems modelling, and data mining.    (08)

The principal goal of the summit is to bring together and foster
collaboration between the ontology community, systems community, and
stakeholders of some of the "big systems." Together, the summit
participants will exchange ideas on how ontological analysis and
ontology engineering might make a difference, when applied in these
"big systems." We will aim towards producing a series of
recommendations describing how ontologies can create an impact; as
well as providing illustrations where these techniques have been, or
could be, applied in domains such as bioinformatics, electronic health
records, intelligence, the smart electrical grid, manufacturing and
supply chains, earth and environmental, e-science, cyberphysical
systems and e-government. As is traditional with the Ontology Summit
series, the results will be captured in the form of a communique, with
expanded supporting material provided on the web.    (09)

During these two days, we will hear from the Track Champions, the
syntheses and summary report of the discourse that have been taking
place over the last 3 months. We will also have a panel discussion on
"Ontology for Big Systems - Promises and Challenges",  a series of
demos and a presentation on the "NITRD Big Data Challenge." In
particular, the participants will be reviewing and put the finishing
touches on the "Ontology Summit 2012 Communique" before it gets
adopted, and open it up to the wider community for endorsement.    (010)


Onsite registration has closed, but registration for remote
participation is still open!
