Advanced Programming with Frame-based Logic Languages Tutorial

January 5, 2004 - January 7, 2004
University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria

Michael Kifer from the Stony Brook University of New York, involved in the development of both F-Logic and HiLog and currently co-chair of the SWSI Language committee, will be coming to Innsbruck from 5 until 7 Januari 2004 to give a tutorial on Programming with Frame-based logic languages.
The tutorial will consist of two parts: a theoretical part, with an intensive tutorial on Frame-based logic languages and a practical part, consisting of a hands-on training of Advanced Programming with Frame-based Logic Languages using the F-Logic based tool FLORA2.
The tutorial will take place at the Institute for Computer Science, University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck Austria. Please check the location page for more details.

Description Logic Tutorial

November 25, 2003 - November 25, 2003
University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria

Ian Horrocks and Sean Bechhofer from the University of Manchester, both involved in the field of Description Logics and the development of the Web Ontology Language OWL, will be coming to Innsbruck on 25 November to give a tutorial on Description Logic reasoning.
The tutorial will consist of two parts: a theoretical part, with an intensive tutorial on Description Logic and a practical part, consisting of a hands-on training of Description Logic reasoning using OilEd and FaCT.
The tutorial will take place at the Institute for Computer Science, University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck Austria.
 

International Semantic Web Conference 2003 (ISWC 2003)

October 20, 2003 - October 23, 2003
Sundial Beach Resort, Sanibel Island, USA
http://iswc2003.semanticweb.org/

ISWC2003 will include three days of technical sessions related to all aspects of the Semantic Web. The program includes both technical and survey/overview papers, as well as descriptions of working Semantic Web systems, position statements, and reports on work in progress.

Semantic Web Workshop at SIGIR 2003

July 28, 2003 - August 1, 2003
Hilton Toronto, Toronto, Canada

 
The emergence of the Internet has brewed the revolution of information storage and retrieval. The web was initially designed for direct human processing. With its current structure, machine-based approaches to web applications are not possible unless its content is transformed into a machine-readable format encoding semantic information. Ontologies are the backbone technology for the Semantic Web by providing machine-processable semantics of data and information sources that can be communicated between different agents.
 
 
The Semantic Web goes beyond the simple bag-of-words approach currently used by search engines and get closer to the meaning of the texts. Semantic Web initiatives have met with growing enthusiasm of researchers and developers world-wide, both in academia and in, which encourages the integration of efforts that have been ongoing from different disciplines, involving specialists in Information Retrieval, Natural Language Processing, Information Extraction, Knowledge Representation, Artificial Intelligence and database. These efforts are aimed at capturing the semantics of digital content of all sorts and origins, and making current Web to be easily accessed and precisely retrieved.
 

Interactive Tutorial on Recent Developments in the Web Services Area

March 27, 2003 - March 27, 2003
University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria

Web services technology is all about distributed computing. There is no fundamentally new basic concept behind this and related technologies. What is really new is the reach of Web services and its ubiquitous support by literally all major vendors. Chances are high that heterogeneity will at the end no longer be a major obstruction for distributed applications. This will have impact on application architectures, middleware, as well as the way in which people will think about computing and businesses will use computing resources. We sketch relevant standards and standard proposals from this area, and sketch related middleware aspects.
