International Workshop on
Architectures, Models and Infrastructures to Generate Semantics in Peer to Peer and Hypermedia Systems
Call for Papers
Aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers that build hypermedia systems and infrastructures that generate and handle semantics in order to discuss and exchange ideas on how exactly technology-wise they achieve the level of semantics they need. In the past years, researchers have created a number of hypermedia environments to represent, generate and process semantics. These environments still use completely different approaches in achieving their goals ranging from monolithic systems to sophisticated component based approaches, from simple graph based to elaborate multidimensional models. Although so different and manifold they all succeed in achieving their goal: generate hypermedia semantics. One of the main goals of the workshop will be to compare all these different approaches and see what exactly lies beneath the various implementations and find common aspects that might be useful for future hypermedia system research. With respect to the latter, this workshop is an attempt to address the call towards a "synchronization point" within the hypermedia community [Wiil, 2005]. Furthermore, the workshop aims to broaden its focus in order to include current research developments concerning the Semantic hypermedia technology especially in terms of P2P and Services. The vision of Semantic Hypermedia, "in which information is given a well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation" already stresses the importance of efficient end user support for accessing and working with hypermedia information. Previous work in the field has appeared repeatedly in the HyperText Conferences over the years (Collier (1987), Mehler (1999), Acedo, Pimentel, Camacho-Guerrero (2002), Marshall, Shipman (2003), Pandis, Karousos, Tiropanis (2005), Millard, Gibbins, Michaelidis, Weal (2005)).
Expected Topics include but are not limited to:
This workshop will be open to all aspects and applications of architectures, models and infrastructures to generate semantics in Peer to Peer and Hypermedia Systems Suggested topics include but are not limited to the following:
Who is this for?
In this workshop, the key concept and aim is at giving the opportunity to researchers and practitioners interested in building hypermedia infrastructures, and in the envision of “intelligent” mechanisms and efficient techniques that provide novel approaches for semantically enhancing, modelling, indexing, searching, retrieving and engineering methods for Peer to Peer and Service Oriented Hypermedia environments.
