International Workshop on Semantic Technologies for Information-Integrated
Collaboration
(STIIC 2011) (01)
CALL FOR PAPERS (02)
As part of
The 2011 International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Systems
(CTS 2011)
http://cts2011.cisedu.info/ (03)
May 23 27, 2011
The Sheraton University City Hotel
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA (04)
Submission Deadline: January 24, 2011 (05)
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Information-integrated collaboration networks have become an important part of
todays complex enterprise systems this becomes obvious if we consider, as a
prominent example, the high dynamics of network-centric systems, which need to
react to changes at the level of their information and communication space by
providing flexible mechanisms to manage a wide variety of information
resources, heterogeneous, decentralized, and constantly evolving. Semantic
technologies promise to deliver innovative and effective solutions to this
problem, facilitating the realization of information integration mechanisms
that allow collaboration systems to provide the added value they are expected
to. (06)
Two fundamental problems are inherent to the design of integrated collaboration
solutions: (i) semantic inaccessibility, caused by the failure to explicitly
specify the semantic content of the information contained within the subsystems
that must share information in order to collaborate effectively; and (ii)
logical disconnectedness: caused by the failure to explicitly represent
constraints between the information managed by the different collaborating
subsystems. (07)
Mainstream EAI technologies deal with information and information management
tasks at the syntactic level. Data protocols and standards that are used to
facilitate seamless information exchange and plug and play interoperability
do not take into account the meaning of the underlying information and the view
of the individual stakeholders on the information exchanged. What is lacking
are mechanisms that have the ability to capture, store, and manage the meaning
of the data and artifacts that need to be shared for collaborative problem
solving, decision support, planning, and execution. (08)
Semantic information sharing and integration technologies will provide an
important collaboration enabling mechanism for the emerging net-centric systems
and the information grid. Further, it is likely that advances in this area will
support multiple modes of collaboration with disparate and cross-cutting
technologies. This workshop, held as part of CTS 2011, will bring together
researchers and experts interested in bridging the gaps between the different
technologies, and between technologies and applications. We invite original
contributions on the technology practice and user experience for these emerging
and important areas from researchers in academia, industry, and research
institutions. (09)
The workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
Semantically-enabled Service Oriented Architectures (SOA)
Ontology-based methods for information integration
Semantics-based integration and interoperability
Semantic workflow orchestration
Semantic mediation methods
Semantic discovery and matchmaking services
Collaborative knowledge engineering and management
Using semantic wikis for collaborative applications
Agile development of semantic applications
Semantically-enabled integration solutions for the Sensor Web,
healthcare, life sciences, emergency management, energy management, e-Commerce,
finance, marketing, and advertising (010)
PAPER SUBMISSION
You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and
other topics related to semantic technologies and information-integrated
collaboration. Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously
submitted elsewhere. Submission should include a cover page with authors'
names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses.
Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author and include up to 6 keywords
from the above list of topics and an abstract of no more than 450 words. The
full manuscript should be at most 8 pages using the two-column IEEE format.
Additional pages will be charged additional fee. Please include page numbers
on all preliminary submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide
helpful comments. Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript via the Workshop
paper submission site athttps://www.eas
ychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=stiic2011. (011)
Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews. Papers will be selected
based on their originality, relevance, technical clarity and presentation.
Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register
and present the paper, if accepted. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee
that their papers will be registered and presented at the workshop. (012)
Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Instructions
for final manuscript format and requirements will be posted on the CTS 2011
Conference Web site. It is our intent to have the proceedings formally
published in hard and soft copies and be available at the time of the
conference. The proceedings are projected to be included in the IEEE Digital
Library and indexed accordingly. (013)
If you have any questions about paper submission or the workshop, please
contact the workshop organizers. (014)
