TRACK ON WEB COMPUTING AND APPLICATIONS (WeCA)
The 10th International Conference on
SIGNAL IMAGE TECHNOLOGY & INTERNET-BASED SYSTEMS (SITIS'14)
November 23 - 27, 2014
In cooperation with ACM SIGAPP French Chapter (pending ...)
and IEEE Technical Committee on Multimedia Computing (pending ...)

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

The focus of the track titled "Web Computing and Applications (WeCA)" is on emerging and novel concepts, architectures, technologies, and methodologies for information management related to the Web and cloud computing. In essence, the Web, with its different versions, has created an interconnected world in which information can be exchanged easily, tasks can be processed collaboratively, communities of users with similarly interests can beformed to achieve efficiency and improve performance, etc. Taking full advantage of these interconnected environments to meet the ever increasing needs of emerging applications requires solutions that address new issues and challenges.

The track calls for research papers and reports related, but not limited, to the following topics:

Data semantics

Ontologies

Conceptual Data Modeling

Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
