FOCUS
---------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------

Computational science techniques require in many cases models and
representations of knowledge for the complex 
processes supporting research in the different fields , and complex models
are also required to capture the 
research context itself . This has resulted in the development of
ontologies, metadata schemas and other 
kinds of models that are shared, reused and enriched for computational
science tasks continuously. Relevant 
examples are scientific ontologies as the Gene Ontology or the Plant
Ontology and metadata schemas as the 
Ecological Metadata Language (EML), but many other models that are less used
are regularly used in 
computational science research.

AIMS, SCOPE AND TOPICS
---------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------

The KREAM workshop aims at gathering high quality research results about the
use of knowledge representations, 
schemas and models in computational science for concrete applications, or
papers dealing with the analysis, 
development or evaluation of the representations themselves. 

The workshop complements other workshops that are specific to some
discipline or technique providing an 
inter-disciplinary account that emphasizes the role of knowledge
representations and ontologies use in 
computational science contexts, providing opportunities for the transfer of
techniques from domains and 
exposing advanced practices using models that may be reused across different
disciplines.
The KREAM workshop has been successfully organized in the last three
editions of the ICCS conference. 
(http://www.iccs-meeting.org/)
This year's proposal is consolidating and opening the workshop to additional
organizers to bring a more 
inter-disciplinary orientation.
