SWEET 2016 - The first international Semantic WEb of EveryThing workshop <br>
co-located with WI'16 (The 2016 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence)
<br>
October 13, 2016 - Omaha, Nebraska, USA <br>
<br>

============ <br>
ABOUT SWEET <br>
============ <br>
<br>
The Web of Things (WoT) is an extension of the World Wide Web to physical devices, capable of interfacing with the real world and exposing data and/or services as addressable resources.
<br>
<br>
The first edition of the International Workshop on Semantic WEb of EveryThing (SWEET) will focus on integrating, optimizing and exploiting artificial intelligence technologies in WoT and pervasive computing scenarios. This will help pushing the Web Intelligence
boundary toward a Semantic Web of Smart Things, where information is endowed with machine-understandable semantics and devices provide adaptive capabilities for information discovery, reasoning, learning, planning and coordination.
<br>
<br>
The workshop will provide opportunities for researchers and practitioners alike to keep in touch with novel ideas and tools, as well as to exchange experiences.
<br>
<br>
<br>

TOPICS <br>
============ <br>
<br>
The SWEET Workshop invites researchers, engineers and developers to present their works in the field of Artificial Intelligence in the Web of Everything and pervasive computing scenarios.
<br>
<br>
Papers may deal with models, methods, technologies, case studies and practical experiences. Topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not limited to:
<br>
<br>
- Languages, methodologies and tools for representing and managing semantic annotations in ubiquitous and pervasive scenarios
<br>
- AI-based information storage, management, discovery, integration and exploitation in the WoT
<br>
- Reasoning and planning in pervasive and unpredictable scenarios <br>
- Semantic-based Web of Things infrastructures, protocols, applications and services
<br>
- Semantic-enhanced Web of physical objects and devices <br>
- Wireless semantic sensor and actor networks <br>
- Opportunistic paradigms and algorithms for matchmaking and negotiation <br>
- Intelligent adaptive user interaction in pervasive computing <br>
- Decentralized, adaptive and collaborative pervasive systems <br>
- Managing pervasive data and sensor data streams <br>
- Efficient, scalable, distributed machine learning in wireless sensor networks and ad-hoc object networks
<br>
- Intelligent Big Data architectures and solutions for pervasive scenarios <br>
- Prototypes and tools for the integration of AI technologies in the WoT <br>
- Practical and user-oriented issues and experiences of developing AI-based pervasive systems and applications
<br>
<br>
The main research issues related to the workshop topics can be summarized referring to the following problems:
<br>
<br>
- How can we integrate the Web of Things with Semantic Web technologies and tools?
<br>
- How can we use ontologies and semantic annotations to enhance real world pervasive devices, applications and services?
<br>
- How can we exploit reasoning and planning in Web of Things scenarios? <br>
- How can we integrate machine learning efficiently in pervasive large-scale scenarios with high volumes of data?
<br>
- Are there mature IoT technologies able to support the Semantic Web of Things evolution?

AUTHOR INSTRUCTIONS <br>
============ <br>
<br>
- Papers must be written in English and formatted using the IEEE WI'16 workshop proceedings format (
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html">
</a><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html">http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html</a> ). Paper length must not exceed 4 pages. Manuscripts not
submitted in the requested format or having more than 4 pages will not be reviewed and thus automatically rejected.
