Hi,
I hereby want to specify the research field i was asking papers,books, materials, .. for. I am looking for materials on the Human-Computer Interaction in the scope of the semantic web.
Thanks again,
Faraz
Hi,
I'm new to the list and very interested in learning more about the research field concerning the interaction of Users with Semantic Web systems, especially the interoperability.
I would love to hear your suggestion on reading materials in this scope. Are there books, journals or special papers that you can recommend, that would help me to get an entrance/introduction into this research field?
Thank you very much,
Faraz

CALL FOR PAPERS
==========================================================
Fourth International Workshop (SMR2):
Service Matchmaking and Resource Retrieval in the Semantic Web
Co-located with the 9th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2010)
November 8, 2010; Shanghai, China
http://www.dfki.de/~klusch/smr2-10/
==========================================================
Aims & Scope:
One central challenge of service coordination in the Semantic Web is how to best relate requests for services with the services that are available.
This functionality is usually provided by semantic service matchmaking capabilities (which may themselves be deployed as services by middle agents) that select the services that are closest to a requested service on the basis of a declarative characterization of the capabilities of both service requested and services provided.
More generally, resource retrieval extends the notion of service matchmaking to the process of discovering any kind of Web resources (ranging from services, data, information, knowledge to networked physical objects, persons and organizations) for given application settings and purposes. It is at the core of several scenarios in the Semantic Web area, spanning from Web services, Grid computing, and Peer-to-Peer computing, to applications such as e-commerce, human resource management, and social networking applications.
The primary objective of this workshop is to bring together academic and industry researchers and industry practitioners who tackle semantic service matchmaking and discovery from various points of view. In particular, we also intend to build bridges to the software engineering and model-driven development communities in order to share requirements, technologies, and experiences that might be helpful in advancing the state of the art in semantic service matchmaking and resource retrieval.
Going to Practice: The 4th International Semantic Service Selection (S3) Contest
The SMR2 workshop also integrates the fourth edition of the open international contest on semantic service selection (S3) which is in collaboration with the SEALS SWS tool evaluation campaign. The S3 contest series provides the means and a forum for evaluating the retrieval performance of Semantic Web service matchmakers in terms of recall, precision, F1, response time etc., over given test collections based on the prominent semantic service formats such as OWL-S, WSML and the standard SA-WSDL.
Publication:
The proceedings of SMR2 will be available as a CEUR volume online.
In addition, it is planned to publish selected and invited papers of the
SMR2 workshop in a special issue of the international Semantic Web journal (http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/).
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
• Semantic resource and service matchmaking and brokering • Semantic retrieval of resources and services in P2P, Grid networks and Cloud Computing • Model-driven semantic service engineering and matchmaking • Privacy-preserving and trusted semantic service discovery • Composition planning of semantic services and workflows • Formal description and handling of semantic services, queries, and resources • Prototypes and tools for semantic services engineering, discovery and composition • Negotiation of semantic services and resources • Interleaving of discovery, composition, and negotiation of semantic services and resources • Practical applications of semantic services • Evaluation of implemented semantic service retrieval tools • Middleware solutions for semantic service search and composition
Submissions:
Contributions to the workshop can be made as technical papers, addressing different issues of service / resource matching and retrieval.
The papers written in English should be not longer than 16 pages using the LNCS Style:
http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,5-164-2-72376-0,00.html

CALL FOR PAPERS
SIXTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON SCALABLE SEMANTIC WEB KNOWLEDGE BASE
SYSTEMS (SSWS2010)
http://www.cse.lehigh.edu/~yug2/ssws10/home.htm
At the 9th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2010), Shanghai,
China, November 7-11, 2010 http://iswc2010.semanticweb.org/
***************************************************************************
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
The series of SSWS workshops aim at creating a forum for discussing a
critical issue for the Semantic Web, that is, scalability. As the Semantic
Web evolves, scalability becomes increasingly important. This workshop will
focus on addressing the scalability issue with respect to the development
and deployment of knowledge base systems on the Semantic Web. Typically,
such systems deal with information described in Semantic Web languages like
OWL and RDF(S), and provide services such as storing, reasoning, querying
and debugging. There are two basic requirements for these systems. First,
they have to satisfy the application's semantic requirements by providing
sufficient reasoning support. Second, they must scale well in order to be
of practical use. Given the sheer size and distributed nature of the
Semantic Web, these requirements impose additional challenges beyond those
addressed by earlier knowledge base systems. This has been well recognized
by the community as demonstrated by the excitement around the billion
triples challenge.
We expect that the above issue is going to challenge the Semantic Web for a
long period of time and significant effort is needed in order to tackle the
problem. This half day workshop seeks to bring together researchers and
practitioners to share their recent ideas and progresses towards building
scalable knowledge base systems for the Semantic Web.
The workshop will be centered on the discussion of three major aspects: 1)
foundations, methods and technologies for pushing forward the
state-of-the-art; 2) performance evaluation and related principles,
methodologies and tools; 3) identification of important issues and future
research directions. Topics of interest for the workshop include, but are
not limited to:
* Semantic Web repositories
* Reasoning mechanisms, techniques and systems
* Query evaluation and optimization
* Performance evaluation and benchmarks
* Distributed knowledge base systems and P2P systems
* Large scale knowledge base management
* Semantic Web-based information integration
We expect that the outcome of the workshop will benefit not only Semantic
Web developers but also Semantic Web evaluators and end users. We also
welcome participants from related disciplines such as Artificial
Intelligence, Databases and Information Integration.
