ODBASE 2016 - The 15th International Conference on Ontologies, DataBases, and Applications of Semantics
25-26 October 2016, Rhodes, Greece
Proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag
 
CALL FOR PAPERS

The conference on Ontologies, DataBases, and Applications of Semantics for Large Scale Information Systems (ODBASE’16) provides a forum on the use of ontologies and data semantics in novel applications. Of particular relevance to ODBASE are papers that bridge traditional boundaries between disciplines such as databases, social networks, mobile systems, artificial intelligence, information retrieval, and computational linguistics. We also encourage the submission of research and practical experience papers concerning scalability issues in ontology management, information integration, and information extraction, as well as papers that examine the information needs of various applications.

Given the 20th anniversary of CooPIS, ODBASE’16 also invites submissions on the application of semantics and semantic modelling to enable co-operation between information systems. This year, we would also welcome additional submissions on the challenge of achieving autonomic integration.

ODBASE’16 intends to draw a highly diverse body of researchers and practitioners by being part of the Federated conferences Event "On the Move to Meaningful Internet Systems 2016 (OnTheMove'16)" that co-locates three conferences: ODBASE'16, C&TC'16 (International Symposium on Secure Virtual Infrastructures), and CoopIS'16 (International Conference on Cooperative Information Systems).    
 
ODBASE 2016 will consider two categories of papers: research and experience. Research papers must contain novel, unpublished research results. Experience papers must describe performance of existing and real-world scalable systems; preference will be given to papers that describe software products or systems that are in use in the community and/or the industry.
