CALL FOR PAPERS -- deadline extension

NatuRes 2008

First International Workshop on
Nature Inspired Reasoning for the Semantic Web
(at ISWC 2008)

Extended submissions-deadline: August 1, 2008.
Website: http://natures.few.vu.nl

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from
the Semantic Web community with more Nature inspired communities,
such as the people interested in Computational Intelligence (CI),
Neural Networks and to discuss current trends in Semantic Web.

We encourage the submission of papers investigating the use of
nature inspired techniques to address knowledge representation
and reasoning problems. Those problems includes (but are not
restricted to) the following topics:

• Data storage and retrieval
• Data integration
• Complex reasoning

Some keywords :

• Neural Networks,
• Evolutionary computing (EA and others),
• Potential field methods,
• Simulated annealing,
• Artificial immune systems,
• Epidemic protocols (Gossiping),
• Swarm intelligence (Ants, PSO, flocking birds)
• Ontology alignment
• Reasoning
• Distributed Knowledge Management System
• Complex systems
• Data integration
• Semantic Web
• RDF
