The
explosion in information exchange fostered by the success of the Web has led to
the identification of semantics as a critical issue in the development of
services providing data and information to users and applications worldwide.
This newly designated conference series on "Semantics for the Networked
World" unifies into a single framework the previous series on
"Database Semantics" and "Visual Database Systems" that the
IFIP WG 2.6 has been offering since 1985. The series intends to continue the
exploration of novel emerging trends that raise challenging research issues
related to the understanding and management of semantics. Each conference
edition, in addition to soliciting contributions of generic relevance in the
semantics domain, will focus on a specific theme that conveys exciting promises
of innovation.
The theme
for the 2006 edition is Semantics of
sequence and time dependent data Sequence and time dependent data are distinguished
by the important role played by order, in modelling and querying the data. For
example, monitoring dynamic phenomena produces data that arrives as a stream of
temporal observations, whose querying and analysis make essential use of its
temporal or sequential nature. Data warehouses give considerable prominence to
the temporal dimension for decision support. Applications in the biological and financial domains
naturally model their data using sequences, and the mining of such data make
critical use of this property.
The purpose
of the Conference, as its predecessors, is to provide an active forum for
researchers and practitioners for presentation and exchange of research results
and discuss practical issues in the management of data, this time applied to sequence and time dependent data.
By organizing this conference, we want to encourage researchers and
practitioners to submit original contributions and case studies that elucidate
semantic issues.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOPICS:
Topics of
interest for the special theme include (but are not restricted to):
1. Role of time in data stream management
2. Sequence mining and data analysis
3. Sequence data in biological applications
4. Sequence data in financial applications
5. Temporal data warehousing and decision support
6. Uncertainty and imprecision in temporal data
7. XML, text and sequence data·
Topics of
interest for the conference also include (but are not restricted to) semantic issues
related to the following:
1. Data modelling and query languages
