SAOA 2015 Call for Papers
44 JAIIO – 44 Jornadas Argentinas de Informática

31st August - 4th September, 2015

Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Ingeniería y Agrimensura, UNR, Rosario, 
  Argentina

Ontological Engineering is a multidisciplinary field that deals with the 
study of the theories, concepts, methodologies and tools supporting the 
construction of conceptual models shared among a community in specific 
domains. In the last years there has been a new interest in ontology 
application to solve modeling problems in several areas of computer 
science and information system fields, such as Artificial Intelligence, 
Linguistic, Big Data, Knowledge Management, Semantic Web, Heterogeneous 
Database Integration, etc.

Worldwide, researchers in all these areas recognize the need for a 
serious commitment with ontologies to provide a basis for their work, 
were ontologies are seen as a general theory of the types of entities 
and relations that exists in their research fields. Moreover, in recent 
years many enterprises related to the application of ontologies and 
semantic technologies have emerged.
The Argentine Symposium on Ontologies and their Applications aims at 
providing a meeting point among researchers from different  fields as 
well as professionals from industries having interest on ontologies. 
SAOA encourages the submission of original contributions ranging from 
academic research to industrial and business applications having a 
significant impact as well as lessons learned and best practices in 
ontology development.

TOPICS OF INTEREST include, but are not limited to:

* FOUNDATIONAL ISSUES
- Entity ontological classification
- Formal Relations
- Time and space representation
- Ontological analysis

* METHODOLOGICAL ISSUES
- Reference ontologies and their role
- Upper level vs. domain ontologies
- Ontology integration and alignment
- Ontology development process
- Ontology representation languages
- Ontology Reasoning

* DOMAIN ONTOLOGIES
- Ontologies in Physics (material, space, time, movement, etc)
- Ontologies in Biology (genes, proteins, cells, etc)
- Ontology for representing belief, intentions, emotions, perceptions, etc
- Ontology of artifacts, functions and roles
- Ontology for the representation of institutions, organizations, norms, 
social relations, arts, idioms, etc.)
- Ontology in Engineering
- Ontology in Software Engineering

* APPLICATIONS OF ONTOLOGIES
- Ontological foundations in conceptual modeling
- Ontology driven information system design
- Knowledge management
- Computational linguistic
- Information retrieval
- Semantic Web, Semantic Web Services
- Ontology applications in scientific fields like biology, chemistry, 
geography, physic, linguistic, etc)
- Use of ontologies for engineer: shape, functions, artifacts, 
manufacturing, design, etc
- Ontologies in human science
- Ontologies in conceptual modeling
- Ontologies in database design.

SUBMISSION CATEGORIES
Authors are invited to submit papers under the following categories:

Expertise reports and tool presentations: 6 pages maximum

PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

SAOA 2015  seeks original contributions, ranging from state-of-the-art 
academic research to industrial and business applications having a 
significant impact. The symposium will consist of invited talks and 
regular paper sessions presenting both mature work and new ideas in 
theoretical research and applications.  All papers will be peer-reviewed 
by at least two reviewers. The submission of manuscripts must follow the 
format available at:

-> http://44jaiio.sadio.org.ar/?q=formatos

All contributions should be submitted in PDF format. The page limit for 
a research paper is 10 pages , in A4 format. For diffusion reasons, 
papers in English are strongly recommended although Spanish and 
Portuguese are also acceptable. Each accepted paper should be presented 
in the symposium, and the presenter must be registered in the 
conference. Papers that do not fulfill this requirement will not be 
included in the Symposium Proceedings.

All the symposia at 44 JAIIO use SADIO's conference management 
(http://sgc.sadio.org.ar/sgc/index.php) system to handle submissions. To 
upload your contribution you first need to register and sign in. If you 
have any problems, check the detailed instructions about registration 
and submission (http://44jaiio.sadio.org.ar/?q=envio-trabajos )
