<div dir="ltr">[Apologies for cross-posting]<br><br><br>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> 1st CALL FOR PAPERS & SYSTEMS<br>
2nd OWL Reasoner Evaluation Workshop (ORE 2013)<br> Collocated with DL 2013 Workshop<br> July 22nd in Ulm, Germany<br> <a href="http://ore2013.cs.manchester.ac.uk/">http://ore2013.cs.manchester.ac.uk/</a><br>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><br>OBJECTIVES<br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>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<br>
feedback from end-users and real uses-cases.<br><br><br>CALL FOR PAPERS<br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>We invite submission of papers describing:<br><br> * System descriptions describing the architecture, implementation, and expected performance of the reasoner.<br>
<br> * Reasoner implementation details, usage reports, implementation "tips and tricks".<br><br> * Challenging ontologies and/or benchmark proposals for OWL reasoners.<br><br>Papers should be formatted according to the Springer LNCS guidelines (<a href="http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html">http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html</a>) and should not be longer than 6 pages.<br>
<br>Submissions must be in PDF through the EasyChair conference system: <a href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ore2013">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ore2013</a>.<br><br>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 (<a href="http://ceur-ws.org/">http://ceur-ws.org/</a>).<br>
<br><br>CALL FOR SYSTEMS (CHALLENGE)<br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>We invite reasoner developers to submit their reasoners for participation in the OWL reasoner performance competition. The outline for the competition is as follows:<br>
* 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. <br> * The tested tasks will include consistency checking, classification, entailment checking, and query answering. <br>
* Developers should send a JAR file of their systems to the competition organizers who will then carry out the benchmarks.<br><br>We also strongly encourage challenge participants to submit a system description paper (see instructions above), describing:<br>
<br> * architecture<br> * implementation<br> * expected performance<br><br>More information about the competition can be found on the ORE 2013 website: <a href="http://ore2013.cs.manchester.ac.uk/competition/">http://ore2013.cs.manchester.ac.uk/competition/</a><br>
<br><br><br>IMPORTANT DATES<br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br> * Paper submission deadline: May 3rd, 2013<br><br> * Notification of acceptance: May 31st, 2013<br><br>
* System submission deadline for competition: June 27th, 2013<br><br> * Workshop: July 22nd, 2013<br><br> * Competitions: July 22-26, 2013<br><br><br><br>ORGANISATION<br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
