Workshop at WISE2012

Objectives

Two main trends have emerged in enterprise over the past few years. On  
the
one hand, Web 2.0 tools such as blogs for personal information  
management,
microblogs for real-time notifications and wikis for enterprise-scale
collaboration have become widely used for information management,
leading to a move towards what is termed "Enterprise 2.0". At the same  
time,
Semantic Web technologies have emerged, allowing enterprise users to
transparently provide structured and meaningful data in the enterprise
thanks to vocabularies representing social data and leading towards the
Corporate Semantic Web and the Semantic Enterprise. These technologies  
offer
new ways to enable data integration between heterogeneous components, to
enhance information management and improve sharing with an enterprise,
leading to a "Social Semantic Enterprise" where both Semantic Web
technologies and Social Web principles converge, resembling recent  
trends on
the Web with schema.org or the Facebook Open Graph protocol. The  
adoption
of the Semantic Web technologies is visible
major challenges remain:

- the volume of created content requires both new methods for the  
retrieval
of Semantic Web data available in the enterprise but also new  
approaches to
personalization to deliver appropriate information to knowledge  
workers at
the right time

- the distributed characteristic of enterprise data sources results in a
need for methodologies and designs that allow for close to real-time
integration of available data.

We aim to bring together Semantic Web experts, practitioners and users  
to
discuss the application of semantic technologies in enterprise. This
workshop is motivated by recent developments in the domain leading to  
many
enterprise applications that strengthen the connection between  
enterprise
and Web data and systems, while at the same time posing new technical  
and
methodological challenges.

The workshop will serve as a forum for the confluence of new ideas  
that will
help to drive research and applications in the area of the semantic
technologies deployed in an enterprise context.

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

Topics of Interest

We encourage the submission of research papers (full or short),
demonstrations and posters that deal with (but are not limited to)
the following topics of interest:

a) Semantic Web and the enterprise

- Enterprise architectures exploiting semantic technologies
- Linked Open Data in enterprise systems, and linked enterprise data
- Semantic Web standards in the enterprise
- Corporate Semantic Web
- Integration of enterprise and Web data
- Scalability of enterprise systems exploiting Semantic Web technologies
- Real-time integration of enterprise data and distributed systems

b) Social applications, personalization, and privacy in an enterprise
context

- Case studies of semantic technologies deployment in different  
enterprise
  applications
- Demonstrations of the use of social networking in the enterprise
- Methodologies and tools enabling a Social Semantic Enterprise
- Personalization techniques with applications in enterprise context
- User modeling in social semantic enterprise
- Recommender systems exploiting Semantic Web techniques
- Trust, privacy and security
- Human aspects of Semantic Enterprise: decision-making, usability,
  user interface design


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

Submissions

We seek the following kinds of submissions:

1. Full scientific papers: should present mature work - up to 12 pages
in LNCS format
2. Short scientific and position papers: up to 4 pages in LNCS
3. Demonstration papers: up to 4 pages in LNCS

Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality,
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition by
at least two members of the program committee.

All submitted papers MUST be formatted according to the author
guidelines provided by Springer LNCS format [1] and in PDF format.

Please submit papers in PDF format only via EasyChair at
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ese_2012)

The proceedings of the ESE 2012 workshop will be published by Springer
in its Lecturer Notes in Computer Science series as well as by CEUR [2].
