Call For Papers:

First International Workshop: "New forms of reasoning for the Semantic Web: scaleable, tolerant and dynamic", Busan, Korea, November 2007,
co-located with the 6th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2007) and 2nd Asian Semantic Web Conference (ASWC 2007)

Topics of Interest

We welcome all research contributions that address one or more of the following topics:

  • Reasoning for the Web
  • Querying and searching
  • Scalability to the Web level
  • Efficient storage of structured data that scale to a very large size

We also aim to attract participants from scientific fields not typically seen at Semantic Web events:s:

  • Economics can tell us about cost-benefit trade-off models, sunk-cost theory and the role of negotiation in obtaining near-optimal results under bounded resources
  • Cognitive Science can tell us about strategies of human memory and human reasoning which is so succesful in reaching good enough conclusion in limited time-spans, using methods such as priming, attention scoping, recency-based self-optimising memory, etc.
  • Computational Learning Theory has contributions to make with their notions of Probably Approximately Correct (PAC) computing, and strategies for abstraction and compression of information.
  • Combinatorial Search has made recent breakthroughs in handling massive search-spaces with heuristics based on Monte Carlo simulations.

Event Information

The workshop will take place during the 6th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2007) and 2nd Asian Semantic Web Conference (ASWC2007). For every accepted paper at least one of the authors must attend the workshop and must register for the workshop and the main conference.

Submission Information

We will accept full papers (up to 10pgs) as well as short statements of interest (2pgs). Both of these will be reviewed by members of the programme committee. We see in particular the short statements of innovative ideas as key contributions to the succes of a lively and thought provoking workshop.

Submissions should be formatted in Springer LNCS format and submitted as PDF documents. Papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference submission site.

Papers will be published in accompanying online proceedings (CEUR) as well as in hardcopy which will be available to all workshop attendees.
