ONTOBRAS - 6th Brazilian Conference on Ontologies

E-mail: ontobras at eci.ufmg.br

September 23 - 25, 2013 - Belo Horizonte / MG - Brasil

Further details: http://ontobras.eci.ufmg.br

Co-located event: 2nd Workshop on Semantic Web and Amazonian Biodiversity
Ontology


The Brazilian Conference on Ontologies foresees an opportunity and
scientific environment in which researchers and practitioners from
Information Sciences and Computer Science can exchange the theories,
methodologies, languages, tools and experience related to the ontology
development and application.

In particular, this Sixth Edition of the Conference is being held
simultaneously with the Second Workshop on Semantic Web and Amazonian
Biodiversity Ontology, putting forward the effort of the research community
in integrating the previous events about Ontologies that has happened in
Brazil in recent years, in order to create a unique highly scientifically
qualified international forum for presenting and discussing the subject.

Therefore, we provide a non-comprehensive list of areas and researchers’
communities from which we expect to receive submissions:

- Information Science, for instance working with ontologies, thesauri,
knowledge management among other applications,

- Databases, for instance working with semantic data integration, linked
open data, among other applications,

- Artificial Intelligence, for instance working with knowledge based
systems, agents, ontology reasoning, among other applications

- Software Engineering, for instance working with conceptual modeling,
Business Process Models, among other applications,

- Informatics in Education, for instance working with  Educational
Ontologies , Semantic Web-based Educational Standards, among other
applications,

- Linguistics and philosophy, working with natural language processing
using ontologies, theories of representation, among other applications.

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit theoretical, technical
and practical research contributions that directly or indirectly address
the issues above. Particularly welcome are e-science, life-sciences,
e-business and cultural applications.



CALL FOR PAPERS

We would like to invite you to participate in the 6th Brazilian Conference
on Ontologies, which will be held this year in Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil,
on September 23-24. ONTOBRAS is the Brazilian meeting for discussing
Ontologies and this year will be sponsored by Federal University of Minas
Gerais. We are interested in the various aspects of the field, from its
philosophical and theoretical foundations to the new technologies and
innovative applications. In this edition, the meeting is opened to
submissions in two categories:

- Full papers (maximum 12 pages) written in English and describing work
with clear demonstrated results. Accepted full paper will be invited for
oral presentation. The best full papers will be invited to be extended for
publication in an influential international journal.

- Short papers (maximum 6 pages) written in Portuguese, English, or Spanish
and describing ongoing work. Accepted short papers will be invited for
poster presentations.

All submissions must be in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) and must
follow the article formatting rules provided by the Brazilian Computing
Society (SBC). The models for Microsoft Office Word can be downloaded at
this link<http://www.inf.ufrgs.br/ontobras-most2011/sites/default/files/sbc_template.doc>;
models for OpenOffice and Latex can be found at this
link<http://www.inf.ufrgs.br/ontobras-most2011/sites/default/files/Template_SBC.zip>.


Submissions should be done via Easychair:

The conference proceedings will be published in the online journal CEUR-WS (
http://www.ceur-ws.org).
