============================================================<br>
The First International Workshop on Advanced Reasoning Technology
(ART) for e-Science<br>
November 28, 2012, Paphos, Cyprus (<a
href="http://wasp.cs.vu.nl/art2012/%29">http://wasp.cs.vu.nl/art2012/)</a><br>
Collocated with the 13th International Conference on Web Information
System Engineering (WISE2012)<br>
============================================================<br>
<br>
Overview<br>
---------<br>
Reasoning and inference about semantically annotated data is a key
technology for any future application aiming at exploring digital
information. The ART2012 workshop is a reaction on the novel
challenges of the Semantic Web, which the modern information mining
and reasoning technology face with. Among those challenges are size,
completeness, closeness, trustworthiness, consistence, coherence,
and dynamic nature of the explored data. The workshop will elaborate
a strategy and a roadmap for the traditional reasoning approaches
such as complete and deductive reasoning to be advanced by the novel
techniques such as automated and streaming reasoning in order to get
a dominating position on the Intelligent Information Management
system market, leveraging the on-demand infrastructures such as high
performance computing and Cloud.<br>
<br>
ART2012 will continue the discussion forum started at the previous
workshops such as NeFoRS'07, NeFoRS'08, SR'09, and NeFoRS'10. <br>
<br>
The ART workshop invites submissions that address world-class
research and development and highlight innovative and emerging
systems, methods, and technologies in Semantic Web Reasoning. The
workshop explores the latest and most innovative work in the
following topics:<br>
<br>
-> scalable reasoning for the Web<br>
-> automated reasoning<br>
-> web scale querying and searching<br>
-> reasoning with inconsistent ontologies<br>
-> temporal and spatial reasoning in the Semantic Web<br>
-> abduction reasoning in the Semantic Web<br>
-> stream reasoning in the Semantic Web<br>
-> efficient storage of structured data that scale to a very
large size<br>
-> reasoning with large, expressive or distributed ontologies<br>
-> distribution and parallelization for semantic reasoning<br>
-> cognitively-inspired approaches to deal with large and dynamic
information<br>
-> implementation and evaluation of scalable and dynamic
reasoners<br>
-> applications of reasoning on large and dynamic datasets<br>
