2nd CALL FOR PAPERS & SYSTEMS
2nd OWL Reasoner Evaluation Workshop (ORE 2013)
Collocated with DL 2013 Workshop
July 22nd in Ulm, Germany
http://ore2013.cs.manchester.ac.uk/
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OBJECTIVES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The goal of this workshop is to bring together both the DEVELOPERS and END-USERS of reasoners for (subsets of) OWL, including systems focusing on both intensional (ontology) and extensional (data) query answering. The workshop will give developers a perfect
opportunity to promote their systems and get
feedback from end-users and real uses-cases.
CALL FOR PAPERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
We invite submission of papers describing:
* System descriptions describing the architecture, implementation, and expected performance of the reasoner.
* Reasoner implementation details, usage reports, implementation "tips and tricks".
* Challenging ontologies and/or benchmark proposals for OWL reasoners.
Papers should be formatted according to the Springer LNCS guidelines (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) and should not be longer than 6 pages.
Submissions must be in PDF through the EasyChair conference system:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ore2013.
All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the program committee. Selected papers will be presented during the workshop and published as a volume of CEUR workshop proceedings (http://ceur-ws.org/).
CALL FOR SYSTEMS (CHALLENGE)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
We invite reasoner developers to submit their reasoners for participation in the OWL reasoner performance competition. The outline for the competition is as follows:
* The test sets will include OWL ontologies from all OWL 2 profiles and of varying sizes, randomly sampled from the NCBO BioPortal, a web crawl, and user-submitted hard ontologies.
* The tested tasks will include consistency checking, classification, entailment checking, and query answering.
* Developers should send a JAR file of their systems to the competition organizers who will then carry out the benchmarks.
We also strongly encourage challenge participants to submit a system description paper (see instructions above), describing:
* architecture
* implementation
* expected performance
More information about the competition can be found on the ORE 2013 website:
