[AISWorld] CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS - SECOND ROUND

[Sandra Gonzalez Cisaro]

*CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS*

*Proposal Submission Deadline: December 5, 2010*

*Ontologies-Driven Web Mining: Concepts and Techniques*

A book edited by Hector Oscar Nigro and Sandra Elizabeth Gonzalez Císaro

Universidad Nacional del Centro de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina





*The bulk of this manuscript is already complete, but we are seeking a few
additional chapters. The book will be published by IGI Global in 2011.*



*Introduction*

Semantic Web mining is a rapidly advancing field, combining recent advances
in Semantic Web and Web mining. Use of ontologies is important for Semantic
Web technologies and methods, since knowledge produced by ontologies helps
define the structure and scope for Web content mining and can be used to
improve the process and the results of mining. Learning ontologies and/or
their concepts is both challenging and necessary when creating scalable
solutions for a wide range of Semantic Web technologies.



Recent applications which exploit the interactions between ontologies and
Web mining are being developed for sentiment analysis, opinion mining, and
affective computing; search engine optimization and Web positioning; and Web
intelligence (WI), the interactions between advanced engineering, advanced
information technology (IT), and artificial intelligence (AI).

* *

*Objective of the Book*

This publication should describe state-of-the-art approaches, innovative
theoretical supports, advanced and successful implementations, as well as
the latest empirical research findings in ontologies-driven Web mining. The
book will contain original academic or industrial work in the form of high
quality, scientific papers. The key objective is to provide Web mining
students, practitioners, professionals, professors, and researchers with an
integral vision of the topic, specifically focusing on those areas that
explore new methodologies or examine real case studies—all of them
ontologies-based.



*Target Audience*

The target audience of this book will be composed of readers who wish to
learn how to apply ontologies-driven Web mining to real world problems. The
purpose is to show users how to go from theory and algorithms to real
applications.



The book will present to students, practitioners, professionals, professors,
and researchers basic concepts in data mining and Web mining. Information
technology researchers and practitioners can increase their knowledge and
skills with these new techniques. This book can be used as a library
reference, upper-level course supplement, or for postgraduate courses.



*Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:*

* *

·        Theoretical foundations of Web mining using an ontologies-based
approach

·        Ontologies in Web mining processes

·        Ontology-based interpretation and validation of mined knowledge

·        Intelligent assistants for Web mining with ontologies

·        Interaction from ontologies to Web mining

·        Knowledge grids and Web mining ontology

·        Search engine optimization using ontologies

·        Web positioning and inductive learning

·        Opinion mining with ontologies

·        Ontologies and Web intelligence (WI)

·        Sentiment analysis

·        Affective computing

·        Ontologies and intelligent social networks

·        Engineering knowledge, representation, planning, discovery, and
data extraction for ontology-driving Web mining

·        Real case studies which implement ontologies-based Web mining

* *

For example, already accepted chapters discuss topics including ontologies
in tourism, socially-constructed knowledge in Web optimization, and an
application for identifying polarized Wikipedia articles.

*Submission Procedure*

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit *on or before December
5, 2010, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and
concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will
be notified by December 20, 2010* about the status of their proposals and
sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by
*February
15, 2011*. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review
basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this
project.
