CFP: iEMSs 2010 Session on Intelligent and collaborative engineering of environmental knowledge: Software platforms, agents and semantics

[Ioannis Athanasiadis]

Dear all,
we organize a special session on environmental knowledge engineering
at the iEMSs 2010 Conference, to be held in Ottawa, July 5 - 8, 2010.
Abstracts are due to Nov 27, 2009.
See below the cfp.

Best regards,
Ioannis

CALL FOR PAPERS: iEMSs 2010 Session on Intelligent and collaborative
engineering of environmental knowledge: Software platforms, agents and
semantics

Part of the biannual meeting of the International Environmental
Modelling and Software society (iEMSs) will take place in Ottawa,
Canada, on July 5 - 8, 2010. The theme of the conference is "Modelling
for Environment's Sake" http://www.iemss.org/iemss2010

The session on agent-based is organized by i-SEEK Community, the
International Workshop on "Intelligent Systems for Environmental
(Knowledge) Engineering and EcoInformatics"


Session description: Models, and to a lesser extent datasets, embody
sophisticated statements of environmental knowledge. Yet, both models
and datasets rarely encode this knowledge in forms that are self-
contained enough to be understood and used - by humans or machines -
without the modeller's mediation. Intelligent and collaborative
systems that exploit semantic technologies, agent-based computing or
modern software engineering principles can provide a remedy to the
above situation. This session aims to bring together scientists
reporting on recent advances on the field, especially on the following
topics:
• Knowledge representation and reasoning for environmental systems
• Collaborative ontology engineering of environmental knowledge
• Semantic annotation and tagging of environmental resources
• Semantic modeling of environmental and ecological processes
• Semantic technologies in environmental sensors networks
• Intelligent agent systems or service oriented systems for
environmental knowledge brokering
• Agreement technologies for agents communication and ontology
evolution in the environmental domain
• Scientific workflows with rich semantics
• Declarative modeling of environmental and ecological processes
• Environmental markup languages and standards
• Environmental ontologies (including epistemological and alignment
issues)
• Semantics for efficient environmental data management
• Intelligent environmental services, tools, and applications


Organizers: Ioannis N. Athanasiadis (Dalle Molle Institute for
Artificial Intelligence), Konstantinos Kotis (University of the
Aegean), Andrea-Emilio Rizzoli (Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial
Intelligence), and Ferdinando Villa (University of Vermont)

Following peer-review, accepted papers will be published in the
workshop proceedings.

Important dates:
Abstracts submission deadline: November 27, 2009 (Submit at
http://www.iemss.org/iemss2010 session id s21)
Acceptance of abstracts December 31, 2009
Full paper submission for review March 19, 2010
