ONTOBRAS - MOST
5th Research Seminar of Ontologies in Brazil
7th International Workshop on Metamodels, Ontologies, Semantic Technologies
September 17 - 19, 2012 – Recife/PE - Brasil
Co-located event: 1st Workshop on Semantic Web and Amazonian Biodiversity Ontology
Ontology is a cross-disciplinary field concerning with the study of concepts and theories that support the building of shared conceptualizations of specific domains. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the application of ontologies to solve modeling and classification problems in diverse areas such as Computer Science, Information Science, Philosophy, Artificial Intelligence, Linguistic, Knowledge Management and many others. The Ontology Research Seminar in Brazil foresees an opportunity and scientific environment in which researchers and practitioners from Information Sciences and Computer Science can exchange the theories, methodologies, languages, tools and experience related to the ontology development and application. In particular, this Fifth Edition of the Ontology Research Seminar is being held simultaneously with the Seventh Edition of International Workshop on Metamodels, Ontologies, Semantic Technologies and the First Workshop on Semantic Web and Amazonian Biodiversity Ontology, putting forward the effort of the research community in integrating the previous events about Ontologies that has happened in Brazil in recent years, in order to create a unique highly scientifically qualified international forum for presenting and discussing the subject.
Therefore, we provide a non-comprehensive list of areas and researchers' communities from which we expect to receive submissions:
- Information Science, for instance working with ontologies, thesauri, knowledge management among other applications,
- Databases, for instance working with semantic data integration, linked open data, among other applications,
- Artificial Intelligence, for instance working with knowledge based systems, agents, ontology reasoning, among other applications
- Software Engineering, for instance working with conceptual modeling, Business Process Models, among other applications,
- Informatics in Education, for instance working with Educational Ontologies , Semantic Web-based Educational Standards, among other applications,
- Linguistics and philosophy, working with natural language processing using ontologies, theories of representation, among other applications.
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit theoretical, technical and practical research contributions that directly or indirectly address the issues above. Particularly welcome are e-science, life-sciences, e-business and cultural applications.
CALL FOR PAPERS
We would like to invite you to participate in the 5th Research Seminar of Ontologies in Brazil and International Workshop on Metamodels, Ontologies, Semantic Technologies, which will be held this year in Recife, PE, Brazil, on September 17-19. ONTOBRAS-MOST is the Brazilian meeting for discussing Ontologies and this year will be sponsored by Federal University of Pernambuco. We are interested in the various aspects of the field, from its philosophical and theoretical foundations to the new technologies and innovative applications. In this edition, the meeting is opened to submissions in two categories:
- Full papers (maximum 12 pages) written in English and describing work with clear demonstrated results. Accepted full paper will be invited for oral presentation. The best full papers will be invited to be extended for publication in an influential international journal.
- Short papers (maximum 6 pages) written in Portuguese, English, or Spanish and describing ongoing work. Accepted short papers will be invited for poster presentations.
Electronic submission: https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/ontobras_most2012
The conference proceedings will be published in the online journal CEUR-WS (http://www.ceur-ws.org).
