Conference Service Mandl

abstract: The purpose of the 7th International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies (WEBIST) is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested in the technological advances and business applications of web-based information systems. The conference has four main tracks, covering different aspects of Web Information Systems, including Internet Technology, Web Interfaces and Applications, Society, e-Communities, e-Business and Web Intelligence.

abstract: The Special Session on Semantic Web Applications and Tools (SWAT) aims to assemble researchers and practitioners from diverse backgrounds together to present problems and solutions and to discuss the state-of-the-art in this area in order to try to identify a vision for future developments in the Semantic Web. Machine-readable metadata enabling automated agents and other software to access the Web more intelligently is growing exponentially every year. This is a rich interdisciplinary area that requires both innovative developments in the areas of knowledge representation including descriptive logics, using languages such as RDF or OWL, and web applications with a focus on interoperability, driven by the need to develop internet-based information systems with an explicit domain ontology. SWAT invites quality papers describing original research ideas and new findings on technological aspects of the semantic web, in particular papers describing methods, techniques, recent advances, applications and tools.

abstract: The Special Session on Web and Text Mining (WTM) is a forum for researchers and practitioners who are concerned with exploring large unstructured or semi-structured data repositories, such as webpages and emails, using intelligent tools that can be used to extract useful information, using technologies from diverse knowledge areas such as machine learning, pattern recognition, natural language processing or statistics, involving multi-dimensional document analysis.

abstract: The Special Session on Web Services Principles and Applications (WSPA) aims to become a forum for both researchers and practitioners to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of SOA in one of its preferred implementations, namely Web services, identifying emerging research topics, and defining the future of Web-based services. WSPA focus on issues of interoperability and enterprise application integration using web services and encourages authors to submit papers describing original work, including methods, techniques, recent advances, applications and tools.
