[Dbworld] The 6th International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems

== Web Reasoning and Rule Systems ==

The International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR), 
organised by the Web Reasoning and Rule Systems Association (RRA e. 
V., founded 2009), aims to be the major forum for discussion and 
dissemination of new results on all topics concerning Web Reasoning 
and Rule Systems. This joint conference is devoted to all aspects of 
Semantic Web Reasoning, with an emphasis on rule-based approaches and 
languages. It welcomes both theoretical and practical works on this 
wide subject.

The reasoning landscape features theoretical areas such as knowledge 
representation (KR) and algorithms; design aspects of rule markup; 
design of ontology languages; engineering of engines, translators, and 
other tools; standardization efforts, such as the Rules Interchange 
Format activity at W3C; and applications. Of particular interest is 
also the use of rules to facilitate ontology modeling, and the 
relationships and possible interactions between rules and ontology 
languages like RDF and OWL, as well as ontology reasoning related to 
RDF and OWL.

== RR 2012 ==

Following last event in Galway, Ireland, the 6th International 
Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule System will take place in Vienna, 
Austria, at the Vienna University of Technology, from September 10-12, 
2012. RR 2012 is co-located with a number of interesting events:

- 8th Reasoning Web Summer School
    4-8 September, http://reasoningweb.org/2012/

Software Intensive Systems (http://voyager.ce.fit.ac.jp/conf/cisis/2012/)

July 4 - 6, 2012
Palermo, Italy
http://www.aliceproject.eu   

SUPPORTED AND ORGANIZED by
The FP7-EU project ALICE (http://www.aliceproject.eu).

IMPORTANT DATES
**ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 20, 2012****
**FULL PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 29, 2012****
Notification of acceptance: March 15, 2012
Camera-Ready Submission: March 23, 2012
Registration: March 23, 2012
Workshop and CISIS main Conference: July 4 - 6, 2012

SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Despite a great potential and some initial successes, e-learning systems do not yet have the impact that
many believe is possible. Moreover, the gap seems to be increasing because of the greater expectations of
the current generation (Digital Natives) who have grown up with modern technology. There are also more
general problems. In particular, an over-emphasis on cost effectiveness has meant that content is often
not as strong as it needs to be and this deficiency has contributed to a lack of user engagement and some high
attrition rates. Studies have consistently highlighted the important relationship between

[Dbworld] AMCIS 2012: Data and Information Quality in Decision Making (CFP)



18th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) 
================================================================ 

 
Track: DATA AND INFORMATION QUALITY (SIGDQIQ) 

Minitrack: DATA AND INFORMATION QUALITY IN DECISION MAKING 

 
         August 9-12, 2012, Seattle, Washington 
         http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/ 

 
================================================================ 

--- DESCRIPTION --- 
Models of decision making, mainly normative models of decision making, point to 
the critical role of information in this process. This mini-track centers on the 
relationship between the quality of the information that is employed in the 
decision-making process on one hand, and, on the other hand, the product of the 
decision, other aspects of the decision process, the consequences of the 
decision, and/or its value.  The ultimate goal of this research is to produce 
solutions that bring under control and mitigate the negative effects of poor 
information quality, i.e., improve decisions both subjectively and objectively. 

Papers in this minitrack will aim to: 
-	Extend the existing understanding of the above relationships in a chosen 
setting

[Dbworld] AMCIS 2012: Data and Information Quality of Unstructured Data (CFP)



18th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) 
=========================================================== 

 
Track: DATA AND INFORMATION QUALITY (SIGDQIQ) 

Minitrack: DATA AND INFORMATION QUALITY OF UNSTRUCTURED DATA 

 
         August 9-12, 2012, Seattle, Washington 
         http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/ 

 
=========================================================== 

--- DESCRIPTION --- 
Unstructured data include free-form text such as found in word processing 
documents, e-mail, Web pages, spreadsheets, and text files, as well as 
nontextual data—images, sound, video, and graphics. Estimates of the proportion 
of unstructured data in organizations are staggering—analysts estimate that 80 
percent of the data are unstructured. Analysts have also observed that the major 
drivers for unstructured data growth are Microsoft Office, email attachments, 
and backup and archival, as well as the generation of multiple and distributed 
copies of data. In particular, the Web is a primary unstructured information 
source for nearly every knowledge worker.  Evidently, organizations that rely 
solely on structured, record-oriented data have incomplete information. 

In recent years, there is a growing interest in accessing unstructured data and

[Dbworld] CFP : IRI2012

Given the emerging global Information-centric IT landscape that has tremendous social and economic
implications, effectively processing and integrating very large volumes of information from diverse
sources to enable effective decision making and knowledge generation have become one of the most
significant challenges of current times. Information Reuse and Integration (IRI) seeks to maximize the
reuse of information by creating simple, rich, and reusable knowledge representations and
consequently explores strategies for integrating this knowledge into systems and applications. IRI
plays a pivotal role in the capture, representation, maintenance, integration, validation, and
extrapolation of information; and, applies both information and knowledge for enhancing
decision-making in various application domains. The conference includes, but is not limited to, the
areas listed below: 

¥ Large Scale Data and System Integration 
¥ Component-Based Design and Reuse 
¥ Unifying Data Models (UML, XML, etc.) and Ontologies 
¥ Database Integration 
¥ Structured/Semi-structured Data 
¥ Middleware & Web Services 
¥ Reuse in Software Engineering 
¥ Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery 
¥ Sensory and Information Fusion 
¥ Reuse in Modeling & Simulation 
¥ Automation, Integration and Reuse Across Applications 
¥ Information Security & Privacy 
¥ Survivable Systems & Infrastructures 
¥ AI & Decision Support Systems; Heuristic Optimization and Search 
¥ Knowledge Acquisition and Management 
¥ Fuzzy and Neural Systems 
¥ Soft/Evolutionary Computing 
¥ Case-Based Reasoning 
¥ Natural Language Understanding
