<div dir="ltr">[Apologies for cross-posting]<br><br>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> CALL FOR PAPERS, SYSTEMS & ONTOLOGIES<br>
3rd OWL Reasoner Evaluation Workshop (ORE 2014)<br> Collocated with the Vienna Summer of Logic (VSL)<br> July 13, 2014 (TBC) - Vienna, Austria<br> <a href="http://vsl2014.at/pages/ORE-index.html">http://vsl2014.at/pages/ORE-index.html</a><br>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<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.<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 (excluding references).<br>
<br>Submissions must be in PDF through the EasyChair conference system: <a href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ore2014">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ore2014</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><br>CALL FOR SYSTEMS AND ONTOLOGIES(COMPETITION)<br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>In parallel with the workshop we will run an OWL Reasoner Competition. We invite both reasoner developers and developers of challenging ontologies to submit their systems/ontologies for participation in the OWL reasoner competition. The preliminary outline for the competition is as follows:<br>
<br> * The test sets will include OWL ontologies from all OWL 2 profiles and of varying sizes, from a large corpus of ontologies (including ontologies from the NCBO BioPortal, a web crawl, and user-submitted ontologies).<br>
* The tested tasks will include consistency checking, classification, entailment checking, and query answering. <br> * Developers will send a JAR file of their systems to the competition organizers who will then carry out the benchmarks.<br>
<br>More details will be published soon. Information about last year's 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>In addition to the system submissions, both reasoner and ontology developers are invited to submit a short paper describing their system. See the above instructions for paper submissions.<br><br><br>IMPORTANT DATES<br>
