CALL FOR PAPERS

NatuReS 2008

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

Submissions-deadline: July 25, 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

Submitted paper should not exceed 15 pages (LNCS style) and must be 
written in English.
