Dear All,
The registrations for the 2nd IAOA Interdisciplinary Summer School on Ontological Analysis are now open. http://iaoa.org/isc2014/pmwiki.php/Main/Registration It is important to highlight that the number of participants is LIMITED. For a teaser about Vitoria in Brazil where the event will be held, please take a look at: http://vimeo.com/96134559 Best regards, Giancarlo Guizzardi ------ The International Association for Ontology and its Applications (IAOA) and The Ontology and Conceptual Modeling Research Group (NEMO/UFES) are proud to announce the Second IAOA Interdisciplinary Summer School on Ontological Analysis September 15-19, 2014 -- Vitória, Brazil http://iaoa.org/isc2014 Description ----------- Four world-class experts in different disciplines (Philosophy, Knowledge Representation, Logics, Conceptual Modeling and Ontology Engineering) will meet for a week with students, researchers and practitioners and present courses in complementary aspects of Applied Ontology. The summer school will be a full immersion experience in ontology, and these experts will engage in open discussions with each other as well as interact with the participants. The school will take place in Vitória, a beautiful city in the southeast of Brazil just a 50-min flight from Rio de Janeiro. LIMITED Registration and Grants -------------------------------- Registrations are open, on a first-come first-served basis. We would like to highlight that the event will have a LIMITED NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS to ensure the quality of the interactions and the immersion experience. Check the registration page for further information: http://goo.gl/rw6Kq5 A limited number of grants will be provided by IAOA to cover the registration fee on behalf of students. Applications for student grants should be sent exclusively by e-mail to vitorsouza@xxxxxxxxxxx by 3rd June 2014 (hard deadline) with subject "ISC 2014 - Application for Student Grant". Applications consist of (1) a 200-word statement of interest in the topic, describing how it relates to your areas of interest and study (in English); (2) a resumé or curriculum vitae; (3) proof of student status (undergraduate or graduate). The organization will select and notify applicants by 10th June 2014. Program ------- The following courses are confirmed: * APPLIED ONTOLOGY AND CONCEPTUAL MODELING: Nicola Guarino (Laboratory for Applied Ontology, Italy) * ONTOLOGY ENGINEERING IN ORGANIZATIONS: Michael Uschold (Semantic Arts, Inc., USA) * FORMAL ONTOLOGY: Kit Fine (New York University, USA) * LOGICS AND KNOWLEDGE REPRESENTATION: Renata Wasserman (IME, USP, Brazil) In addition to the courses, a number of shorter invited talks are expected, including: * ONTOLOGIES AND LINGUISTICS: Nicholas Asher (CNRS, Laboratoire IRIT, France) * PROCESS ONTOLOGIES: Michael Grüninger (University of Toronto, Canada) * AN INTRODUCTION TO APPLIED ONTOLOGY: Giancarlo Guizzardi (Federal University of Espírito Santo, Brazil) Short Bios of the Speakers -------------------------- NICOLA GUARINO is Research Director at the Institute for Cognitive Sciences and Technologies of the Italian National Research Council (ISTC-CNR), where he leads the Laboratory for Applied Ontology (LOA), a section of the Institute located in Trento. Since 1991 he has been playing a leading role in the ontology field, developing a strongly interdisciplinary approach that combines together Computer Science, Philosophy, and Linguistics, and relies on logic as a unifying paradigm. Results of his lab include the OntoClean methodology and the DOLCE foundational ontology. Current research interests include ontology-driven conceptual modelling, socio-technical systems, and service science. He is founder and editor-in-chief (with Mark Musen from Stanford University) of the international journal Applied Ontology, and is the founder and was first president of the International Association for Ontology and its Applications, IAOA. He is editorial board member of the International Journal of Semantic Web and Information Systems, the Journal of Data Semantics, and editor of the IOS Press book series Frontiers in AI and Applications. He has been recently nominated ECCAI fellow. MICHAEL USCHOLD, is an internationally-recognized expert with 25 years experience in developing and transitioning semantic technology from academia to industry. Michael pioneered the field of ontology engineering, co-authoring the first paper and giving the first tutorial on the topic in 1995. This leveraged the work he did in creating the influential ³Enterprise Ontology.² He spent 11 years at Boeing defining, leading and participating in numerous projects applying semantic technology to enterprise challenges. Michael is a regular invited speaker and panelist at national and international events, and has given numerous tutorials and training classes. He received his PhD in Artificial Intelligence from The University of Edinburgh in 1991. KIT FINE is University Professor and Silver Professor of Philosophy and Mathematics at New York University and Distinguished Research Professor at University of Birmingham. He specialises in metaphysics, logic, and philosophy of language. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a corresponding fellow of the British Academy. Professor Fine has served as an editor or as a member of the editorial board for Journal of Symbolic Logic, Synthese, Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic, Journal of Applied Non-Classical Logics, Reports on Logic, and Philosophers' Imprint. RENATA WASSERMAN is Associate Professor at the Computer Science Department of the University of São Paulo, (PhD, Institute of Logic, Language and Computation of the University of Amsterdam, 2000). Working on Knowledge Representation and Belief Revision, specially on non-classical logics, got involved with ontologies from the description logics side. Current interests include merging of ontologies and ontology evolution. NICOLAS ASHER studied Philosophy and Linguistics at Yale University and Oxford University. He is Directeur de Recherche at CNRS, Laboratoire IRIT in Toulouse, France, and previously was a Professor for Philosophy at the University of Texas in Austin, USA. His main research interests span over formal semantics, logic of discourse, and computational linguistics. He is particularly known for having created the Segmented Discourse Representation Theory, a theory of discourse extending DRT with discourse relations and a logic of the semantics-pragmatics interface. His later work focuses on the logic of complex types to account for lexical semantics within a compositional framework. MICHAEL GRÜNINGER is an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto. He returned to Canada after spending five years as an Assistant Research Scientist in the Institute for Systems Research at the University of Maryland College Park and also a Guest Researcher at the National Institute or Standards and Technology (NIST). Before that, Michael was a Senior Research Scientist in the Entreprise Integration Laboratory of the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Toronto. Michael received his Ph.D. and M.Sc. in Computer Science at the University of Toronto and his B.Sc. in Computer science at the University of Alberta. His current research focuses on the design and formal characterization of theories in mathematical logic and their application to problems in manufacturing and enterprise engineering. His most recent work on the Process Specification Language has been published as an International Standard (ISO 18629). GIANCARLO GUIZZARDI is Associate Professor and research lead in the Ontology and Conceptual Modeling Research Group (NEMO), Federal University of Espirito Santo, in Brazil, a visiting professor at the University of Trento, Italy, and and associate researcher at the Laboratory for Applied Ontology (LOA), at the ISTC-CNR, Italy. He has been working since 1997 in the development of Domain and Foundational Ontologies and their application in computer science and, primarily, in the area of Conceptual Modeling. He is a former member of the Executive Council and currently a member of the Advisory Board of the International Association for Ontologies and its Applications (IAOA). He is also an editorial board member of the following journals: Applied Ontology, Semantic Web, Requirements Engineering and International Journal of Information Systems Modeling and Design. His experience in the aforementioned areas has also been acquired in a number of industrial projects in domains such as Off-Shore Software Development, Petroleum and Gas, Digital Journalism, E-Government, Telecommunications and Complex Media Management.
