Call for Papers: JIST 2018 Special Session on Resource-aware Semantic
Technologies

INTRODUCTION

Joint International Semantic Technology Conference (JIST 2018) <
http://jist2018.knowledge-graph.jp/pages/calls/resource-aware_semantic_technologies.html
 >

As Semantic Technologies gain momentum, their impact on resources and
society increases. At the same time application developers would like to
employ semantic technologies on devices that are heavily resource
constrained such as mobile devices. So far the efficiency of semantic
technologies is still mainly assessed by running times. Its vertical
scalability (scale-up) has been investigated for a while now. So far
adaptive horizontal scalability (scale-out) of semantic technologies and
systems is hardly investigated. Here the challenge is to utilize
resources opportunistically and efficiently, based on availability and
the application requirements. This is significant and challenging in
semantic-enabled contexts -- especially in those with dynamic networks
of independent devices, such as multi-agent systems and IoT.

While computational and cognitive complexity of semantic technologies
are being investigated, work on their resource consumption, e.g. in
terms of energy or storage, is still in its infancy. However, assessing,
managing and predicting the resource consumption is a vital prerequisite
for the wider usefulness of semantic technologies.

The special session calls for contributions regarding, but not limited
to the following topics:

     resource-adaptive semantic technologies
     reasoning algorithms for resource-bound hardware
     measurement frameworks for energy-consumption of semantic technologies
     ontologies for energy management
     prediction methods for resource consumption
     application of semantic technologies for resource management
