July 10-11, 2008

Hotel Ramada Songdo
Incheon, Korea

Korean Intelligent Information Systems Society

The field of Semantic Computing (SC) brings together those disciplines concerned with connecting the (often vaguely formulated) intentions of humans with computational content. This connection can go both ways: retrieving, using and manipulating existing content according to users goals ("do what the user means"); and creating, rearranging, and managing content that matches the authors intentions ("do what the author means").

The content addressed in SC includes, but is not limited to, structured and semi-structured data, multimedia data, text, programs, services and, even, network behavior. This connection between content and the user is made via (1) Semantic Analysis, which analyzes content with the goal of converting it to meaning (semantics); (2) Semantic Integration, which integrates content and semantics from multiple sources; (3) Semantic Applications, which utilize content and semantics to solve problems; and (4) Semantic Interfaces, which attempt to interpret users intentions expressed in natural language or other communicative forms. Example areas of SC include (but, again, are not limited to) the following:

ANALYSIS AND UNDERSTANDING OF CONTENT
Natural-language processing
Image and video analysis
Audio and speech analysis
Analysis of structured and semi-structured data
Analysis of behavior of software, services, and networks

INTEGRATION OF MULTIPLE SEMANTIC REPRESENTATIONS
Database schema integration
Ontology integration
Interoperability and Service Integration

SEMANTIC INTERFACES
Natural-Language Interface
Multimodal Interfaces

APPLICATIONS
Semantic Web and other search technologies
Question answering
Semantic Web services
Multimedia databases
Engineering of software, services, and networks based on natural-language specifications
Context-aware networks of sensors, devices, and/or applications
Industrial Applications

The workshop consists of invited lectures, paper presentations and panel discussions on semantic computing especially on interdisciplinary research from natural language processing, multimedia, semantic web, data and knowledge engineering, software engineering, computer systems and networks, etc.

Paper Submissions

Authors are invited to submit full papers (in double column IEEE format; 6-8 pages) and short papers (in double column IEEE format; no more than 3 pages) in PDF form to the Publication Chair (j2jung@gmail.com). Distinguished full papers presented at the workshop will be recommended for publication in International Journal of Semantic Computing.

Important Dates

Submission of Papers: May 2, 2008
Notification of Acceptance: May 23, 2008
Camera Ready Papers: May 30, 2008
Registration: June 6, 2008
