SCOPE
=====
The development of ontologies, metadata schemas and other
kinds of models that are shared, reused and enriched for
computational science tasks is continuously growing.
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.
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. These artifacts call for specific methods, techniques
and scientific infrastructure support that deserve separate
attention.
The present issue aims at gathering high quality research results
about the use of knowledge representations, schemas and
models in computational science for concrete applications, the
design of e-science infrastructure support or papers dealing
with the analysis, development or evaluation of the
representations themselves.

Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:

€ Knowledge Representation & Reasoning Techniques
€ Knowledge Acquisition Techniques
€ Knowledge Engineering Technologies & Applications
€ Autonomic Knowledge Processing & Applications
€ Intelligent Data Mining & Applications
€ Semantic Networks & Applications

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
======================
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished research as
papers. All submitted papers will be subject to rigorous peerreview
by at least 3 reviewersfor originality, significance, clarity
and quality.

A selection of papers presented at the KREAM¹12 workshop will
be invited to prepare extended versions for the special issue.
The extended version of papers must contain at least 30-50%
new material and the title of the extended version must clearly
and unmistakably differ from the title of the article presented at
the conference.

All manuscripts must be formatted according to the guidelines
of the Journal of Universal Computer Science (JUCS),available at
http://www.jucs.org/ujs/jucs/info/submissions, and submitted
by email to msicilia[at]uah.es.


IMPORTANT DATES
===============

€ Submissions due (including extended versions of KREAM papers): 30 July
2012
€ Notification of acceptance/rejection: 15 September 2012
€ Final versions due: 15 November 2012
