3rd OWL Reasoner Evaluation Workshop (ORE 2014)<br> Collocated with the Vienna Summer of Logic (VSL)<br> July 13, 2014 - 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 addition to the workshop we will run an OWL Reasoner Competition, which is part of the 1st FLoC Olympic Games (<a href="http://vsl2014.at/olympics/">http://vsl2014.at/olympics/</a>). The FLoC Olympic Games are intended as a new FLoC tradition and Games will bring together a multitude of established solver competitions by different research communities. The winners in the competition categories will be awarded Kurt Goedel medals at the FLoC Olympic Games award ceremonies.<br>
<br>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, and realisation. <br> * Developers will have to submit an executable wrapper script that triggers the reasoning system (see ORE 2014 Specification), and the system itself to the competition organizers, who will then carry out the benchmarks.<br>
<br>Further instructions and a testing framework is available at: <a href="https://bitbucket.org/andreas-steigmiller/ore-2014-testing-framework">https://bitbucket.org/andreas-steigmiller/ore-2014-testing-framework</a> <br>
Please note: The deadline for all system submissions is 16th May 2014.<br><br>In addition to the system submissions, both reasoner and ontology developers are invited to submit a short paper describing their system/ontology. See the above instructions for paper submissions.<br>
