GOALS AND TOPICS<br>
----------------<br>
<br>
More and more applications require real-time processing of large,
dynamically generated, ordered data, where order captures
essential information about recency, proximity or relevance.
Recency is crucial for recognizing temporal events, as in complex
event processing; proximity and relevance are essential for
ranking query answers, as in top-k query answering. In some cases,
orders are a natural, even unavoidable, aspect of the data, which
may constrain the ways in which we can access it. In other cases,
orders need to be derived by additional computations, and then be
enforced on the (unordered) input. While each of these scenarios
represents some unique challenges, all of them involve streams of
data and require us to reason about sequences of events. The goal
of this workshop is to explore this joint concept of ordered data
processing.<br>
<br>
Semantic technologies can play a relevant role in this setting, as
they provide the expressive power to integrate highly dynamic
sources. This is also witnessed by a number of recent works on
order-related concepts, such as Stream Reasoning and top-k
ontological query answering. Stream and rank-aware data management
techniques are progressively providing reactive and reliable query
answering over massive datasets, while ontological process models
allow us to define meaningful patterns in event streams. Related
works range from applied topics, such as query optimization, to
foundational topics, such as temporal logics.<br>
<br>
This workshop (as its predecessors in 2011, 2013 and 2014) aims at
bringing together this growing and very active community
interested in integrating ordering with reasoning by using methods
inspired by stream and rank-aware data management. It thus aims to
stimulate and guide a paradigm shift in semantic technologies.<br>
<br>
Topics include, but are not limited to:<br>
<br>
* Streaming algorithms in query answering and reasoning<br>
* Ontology-based data access over data streams<br>
* Modelling complex events, processes, and patterns in ordered
data<br>
* Incremental maintenance of materialization of data streams<br>
* Continuous query answering<br>
* Ontological top-k query answering<br>
* Continuous and top-k query answering for fuzzy and
probabilistic logics<br>
* Order in knowledge representation, such as temporal or spatial
orders<br>
* Topologies for distributed processing of data streams<br>
* Data compression algorithms for data stream processing<br>
* Parallelization and distribution in order-aware semantic
technologies<br>
* Approximation approaches to inference with orderings<br>
* APIs for data stream exchange<br>
* Proposals for and applications of benchmarks<br>
* Applications of stream reasoning and top-k ontological query
answering<br>
* Implementation and evaluation experiences<br>
<br>
