CALL FOR PAPERS: iEMSs 2010 Session on Intelligent and collaborative
engineering of environmental knowledge: Software platforms, agents and semantics Part of the biannual meeting of the International Environmental Modelling and Software society (iEMSs) will take place in Ottawa, Canada on July 5 - 8 2010. The theme of the conference is "Modelling for Environment's Sake" http://www.iemss.org/iemss2010 The session is co-organized by i-SEEK Community, the International Workshop on "Intelligent Systems for Environmental (Knowledge) Engineering and EcoInformatics" Session description: Models, and to a lesser extent datasets, embody sophisticated statements of environmental knowledge. Yet, both models and datasets rarely encode this knowledge in forms that are self-contained enough to be understood and used - by humans or machines - without the modeller's mediation. Intelligent and collaborative systems that exploit semantic technologies, agent-based computing or modern software engineering principles can provide a remedy to the above situation. This session aims to bring together scientists reporting on recent advances on the field, especially on the following topics: • Knowledge representation and reasoning for environmental systems • Collaborative ontology engineering of environmental knowledge • Semantic annotation and tagging of environmental resources • Semantic modeling of environmental and ecological processes • Semantic technologies in environmental sensors networks • Intelligent agent systems or service oriented systems for environmental knowledge brokering • Agreement technologies for agents communication and ontology evolution in the environmental domain • Scientific workflows with rich semantics • Declarative modeling of environmental and ecological processes • Environmental markup languages and standards • Environmental ontologies (including epistemological and alignment issues) • Semantics for efficient environmental data management • Intelligent environmental services, tools, and applications Organizers: Ioannis N. Athanasiadis (Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence), Konstantinos Kotis (University of the Aegean), Andrea-Emilio Rizzoli (Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence), Ferdinando Villa (University of Vermont) Following peer-review, accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Important dates: Abstracts submission deadline: November 27, 2009 (Submit at http://www.iemss.org/iemss2010, Session id S21) Acceptance of abstracts December 31, 2009 Full paper submission for review March 19, 2010 |
