[AISWorld] Call for Papers: Semantic WEb of EveryThing (SWEET 2016) International Workshop

[Floriano Scioscia]

SWEET 2016 - The first international Semantic WEb of EveryThing workshop
co-located with WI'16 (The 2016 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on
Web Intelligence)
October 13, 2016 - Omaha, Nebraska, USA


============
ABOUT SWEET
============

The Web of Things (WoT) is an extension of the World Wide Web to
physical devices, capable of interfacing with the real world and
exposing data and/or services as addressable resources.

The first edition of the International Workshop on Semantic WEb of
EveryThing (SWEET) will focus on integrating, optimizing and exploiting
artificial intelligence technologies in WoT and pervasive computing
scenarios. This will help pushing the Web Intelligence boundary toward a
Semantic Web of Smart Things, where information is endowed with
machine-understandable semantics and devices provide adaptive
capabilities for information discovery, reasoning, learning, planning
and coordination.

The workshop will provide opportunities for researchers and
practitioners alike to keep in touch with novel ideas and tools, as well
as to exchange experiences.


============
TOPICS
============

The SWEET Workshop invites researchers, engineers and developers to
present their works in the field of Artificial Intelligence in the Web
of Everything and pervasive computing scenarios.

Papers may deal with models, methods, technologies, case studies and
practical experiences. Topics of interest to this workshop include, but
are not limited to:

- Languages, methodologies and tools for representing and managing
semantic annotations in ubiquitous and pervasive scenarios
- AI-based information storage, management, discovery, integration and
exploitation in the WoT
- Reasoning and planning in pervasive and unpredictable scenarios
- Semantic-based Web of Things infrastructures, protocols, applications
and services
- Semantic-enhanced Web of physical objects and devices
- Wireless semantic sensor and actor networks
- Opportunistic paradigms and algorithms for matchmaking and negotiation
- Intelligent adaptive user interaction in pervasive computing
- Decentralized, adaptive and collaborative pervasive systems
- Managing pervasive data and sensor data streams
- Efficient, scalable, distributed machine learning in wireless sensor
networks and ad-hoc object networks
- Intelligent Big Data architectures and solutions for pervasive scenarios
- Prototypes and tools for the integration of AI technologies in the WoT
- Practical and user-oriented issues and experiences of developing
AI-based pervasive systems and applications

The main research issues related to the workshop topics can be
summarized referring to the following problems:

- How can we integrate the Web of Things with Semantic Web technologies
and tools?
- How can we use ontologies and semantic annotations to enhance real
world pervasive devices, applications and services?
- How can we exploit reasoning and planning in Web of Things scenarios?
- How can we integrate machine learning efficiently in pervasive
large-scale scenarios with high volumes of data?
- Are there mature IoT technologies able to support the Semantic Web of
Things evolution?

============
AUTHOR INSTRUCTIONS
============

- Papers must be written in English and formatted using the IEEE WI'16
workshop proceedings format (
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
). Paper length must not exceed 4 pages. Manuscripts not submitted in
the requested format or having more than 4 pages will not be reviewed
and thus automatically rejected.

- Submissions must be in PDF through the SWEET 2016 Web form:
https://wi-lab.com/cyberchair/2016/wi16/scripts/submit.php?subarea=S09&undisplay_detail=1&wh=/cyberchair/2016/wi16/scripts/ws_submit.php

- Accepted papers will be published in the Web Intelligence 2016
conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press and indexed by
EI. Attendance of at least one of the authors for each accepted paper is
required.
