ALPSWS 2008 Third International Workshop on Applications of Logic Programming to the (Semantic) Web and Web Services http://www.kr.tuwien.ac.at/events/alpsws2008/ Udine, Italy in conjunction with the 24th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP 2008) December 9-13 2008 http://iclp08.dimi.uniud.it/ ********************************************************************* One of the key challenges in making the static Web and dynamic applications such as Web services more intelligent is to introduce some form of automated reasoning. For example, the Semantic Web promises machine-readable semantics and a machine-processable Web through ontology-based annotation of static data on the Web and Web-based dynamic applications and services. Such annotation facilitates querying and aggregating data sources on the Web in a unified manner, as well as automating discovery, selection and composition of services. Reasoning technologies for services and data on the Web have typically focused on Description Logic (e.g., OWL DL) and Rule-based (RIF, RuleML) approaches and languages. In this workshop we focus on the latter with a particular focus on Logic Programming as a viable candidate paradigm for enabling intelligent and declarative Web applications. Many workshops and conferences that are dedicated to the Web arena deal mostly with generic topics and bring together people from a variety of research fields with different understandings of the topic. The plethora of these workshops and conferences make it hard to keep track of the various approaches of a particular technology such as Logic Programming in our case. We deliberately take a narrower focus to advance the application of LP as a paradigm for declarative knowledge representation and reasoning to the Web and Web services. Towards this aim we bring together researchers working on applications of LP to (Semantic) Web and Web services, as well as LP-based foundations for Semantic Web and Web service languages. ALPSWS 2008 is the 3rd workshop in its series, still following its original goals: - Bringing together people from different sub-disciplines of LP and focus on technological solutions and applications from LP to the problems of the Web. - Promoting further research in this interesting application field. Topics: ------- Possible topics include (but are not limited to): * Logic Programming based approaches for reasoning about Semantic Web languages such as RDF, RDFS, WSML, OWL, OWL-S, RuleML, SA-WSDL, SPARQL, RIF * Ontology Modeling and Mediation using Logic Programming * Deductive query answering in a Semantic Web context * Reasoning over large-scale ontologies * Reasoning with large instance data in the presence of ontologies * Logic-Programming based mashups for Linked Open Data * Combinations of Logic Programming and Description Logics * Modeling of and reasoning about Web services * Applications of Reasoning about actions and dynamics in the context of Web service discovery and composition * Interaction of Logic Programming and other technologies such as agents, constraint programming, etc. in a (Semantic) Web context * Applications, use cases, experimental results and benchmarks * Extensions of Logic Programming engines for Semantic Web (service) applications * Extensions of Logic Programming paradigms to tackle Web challenges, e.g., fuzzy logic programming to deal with uncertainty on the Web * Logic Programming and the application of Semantic Web technologies to Semantic content Sumbission Details: ------------------- We invite two forms of submission to this workshop: full papers and short papers. Full papers shall be up to 14 pages length, short papers 6 pages which could include position papers, system descriptions or preliminary work. The workshop content will be made available in separate workshop proceedings. Please use the Springer LNCS format for the papers. Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least two members of the program committee. Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format.
