Call for Papers
International Workshop on Evaluation of Semantic Technologies (IWEST 2010)
Full-day Workshop held at the 9th International Semantic Web
Conference (ISWC2010), Shanghai, China
http://oeg-lia3.dia.fi.upm.es/iwest2010/
***********************************************
The consistent evaluation of semantic technologies is critical not
only for future scientific progress but also for their widespread
industrial adoption. Such evaluation needs to address development
quality (correctness or robustness) as well as deployment qualities
(interoperability or scalability).
While the community is evolving towards a more thorough evaluation of
semantic technologies, the field's inherent dynamism makes the
evaluation of semantic technologies a difficult task: as previous
evaluation methods and techniques become obsolete, new ones have to be
developed as fast as semantic technologies evolve.
IWEST workshop aims are twofold: (1) to discuss the current trends and
future challenges of evaluating semantic technologies, and (2) to
support communication and collaboration with the goal of aligning the
various evaluation efforts within the community and accelerating
innovation in all the associated fields as has been the case with both
the TREC benchmarks in information retrieval and the TPC benchmarks in
database research.
In line with the goals of the workshop, we will also incorporate the
results of the 1st International Evaluation Campaign for Semantic
Technologies - a wide-ranging evaluation campaign which has been
organised by the Semantic Evaluation At Large Scale (SEALS) Initiative
(http://www.seals-project.eu).
Submissions
***********
High quality papers are invited from researchers interested in all
aspects of formal evaluation and benchmarking with reference to
semantic technologies ('Regular Papers'). In addition, we also invite
papers from participants of the 1st International Evaluation Campaign
for Semantic Technologies ('Evaluation Campaign Papers').
We invite contributions describing benchmarking approaches applied to
semantic technologies including, but not limited to:
* Ontology Engineering Tools
* Semantic Search Tools
* Semantic Web Services
* Ontology Matching
* Storage and Reasoning
We encourage full papers (max 12 pages), short papers (max 6 pages)
and short demo papers (max 2 pages) describing significant work in
progress, late breaking results or ideas / challenges for the domain.
Submissions must be in PDF. Submissions must be formatted in the style
of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS). For details on the LNCS style, see Springer’s Author
