INBAST 2014 - Third Workshop on Industrial and Business Applications of Semantic Technologies and Knowledge-based information systems (INBAST 2014)

Semantic and knowledge-based technologies are gaining momentum and they are currently achieving a certain degree of maturity. They provide a consistent and reliable basis to face the challenges for organization, manipulation and visualization of the data and knowledge, playing a crucial role as the technological basis of the development of a large number of Computational Intelligence systems. These technologies draw on standard and novel techniques from various disciplines within Computer Science, including Knowledge Engineering, Natural Language Processing, Artificial Intelligence, Databases, Software Agents, etc. The methods and tools developed and integrated for this purpose are generic and have a very large application potential in a large amounts of fields like Information Retrieval, Semantic Searches, Information Integration, Information Interoperability, Bioinformatics, eHealth, eLearning, Software Engineering, eCommerce, eGovernment, Social Networks, etc.
The goal of the workshop is the feasibility investigation of advanced Semantic and Knowledge-based methods and techniques and their application in different domains such as in the run time of safety-critical live systems or in design time engineering disciplines like software and systems engineering.
Topics of interest in this workshop include, but are not restricted to:
? Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
? Knowledge Acquisition
? Ontological Engineering
? Ontology Sharing and Reuse
? Ontology Matching and Alignment
? Ontology Learning and Population
? Semantic Web Semantic Integration of heterogeneous data sources
? Natural Language Processing using Semantic technologies
? Social Semantic Web
? Knowledge-based Decision Support Systems
? Linked Data Applications
? Industrial applications and Case-studies
