First International Workshop
on
Semantic Web Mining and Reasoning (SWMR
2004)
In conjunction with the
2004 IEEE/WCI/ACM International Conference
on Web Intelligence
Sept. 20-24, 2004, Beijing, China
Workshop
Objectives
The major goal of the workshop is to bring researchers,
scientists and practitioners from both industry and academics, and
representatives from different communities such as data mining, semantic web,
ontology together to study, understand, and explore the data mining methods and
techniques for the semantic web. In the workshop, we want to explore the
use of XML, RDF, ontologies, text mining, information
extraction and logics for the three web mining areas; and the support of web
mining techniques for building and annotating the semantic web. These technological advances can ultimately lead to a new
breed of Web-based data mining applications and web service.
We invite researchers and experts of semantic web, data
mining, ontology to submit original research papers as
well as reports on work in progress related to (Suggested topics include but are
not restricted to):
§
Ontology-based learning/knowledge extraction from
the web
§
Ontology-based Information Retrieval
§
Ontology-based Web Mining
§
Ontology construction/population from the web
§
Business Semantics and Ontologies
§
Ontology merge, Maintenance and mapping
§
Semantic Annotation of Web Services
§
Semantic Web Service Discovery
§
Information fusion/integration in the semantic
web
§
Metadata-based Text Mining
§
Text mining/Information extraction for ontology
construction
§
Applications of Semantic Web Mining
§
Machine Learning and Semantic Web
§
Data mining XML data
§
Information Extraction with data mining
§
Web Usage, Content, and Structure Mining for
Discovering Semantics
§
Applications of Semantic Web Mining
Paper
Submission and Review
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers
that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with proceedings. Papers submitted to the workshop will undergo a
peer-review process. The draft version of the workshop proceedings will be
distributed in the workshop and selected papers will be published as a book from
Springer after the workshop.
Research papers should not exceed 5000 words (approximately
10 pages In IEEE 2-column format). Short papers (up to 6 pages) describing early
research results are also welcome.
Papers should be submitted in electronic form (Standard Postscript, PDF,
doc) in IEEE 2-column format via E-mail to: thu-qoZ3OA7KXKrDmsx6X+MebQ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or tylin-Rlo7rBWYCz2Vc3sceRu5cw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
