INTRODUCTION<br>
<br>
Ontologies and semantics have emerged as a fundamental research
topic in the information systems area to knowledge representation,
making explicit the meaning of information, to share information and
to achieve interoperability between. Thus, ontologies and semantics
are being used in different fields such as Semantic Web, e-Business,
information integration, data mining, database design, etc. But its
use can be extended beyond information systems and can be applied in
networked systems. In these systems ontologies can provide the basis
for the automation of information exchanges, dynamic configuration
of systems, detecting attacks into the systems, reasoning on
behaviour and context that allow dynamic and context-aware
applications, etc.<br>
<br>
The purpose of this special collection is to collect innovative and
high-quality research contributions regarding the role played by
ontologies and semantics in networked systems. This special
collection aims to explore the synergies between these technologies
and give insights on the recent advances in these topics by
soliciting original scientific contributions in the form of
theoretical and experimental research and case studies.<br>
<br>
TOPICS<br>
<br>
In this special collection we welcome contributions on the following
topics (but are not limited to):<br>
<br>
* Design and modeling of ontologies for different kind of networked
systems:<br>
- Web services<br>
-(Secure) computer networks and distributed systems<br>
- Context-aware applications<br>
- Architectures of networked services<br>
- Online communities<br>
- Grid services<br>
- E-government/e-business/e-commerce systems<br>
- Recommender systems for networked applications<br>
* Ontologies for networked system interoperability<br>
* Ontology for semantic Web services composition<br>
* Applications, evaluations, and experiences with ontologies and
semantics in the following kind of networked systems:<br>
- E-business systems<br>
- E-governement systems<br>
- Collaborative systems<br>
- Multimedia communications<br>
- Secure and private communications<br>
- Context-aware systems<br>
* Ontological and semantic evaluation of networked systems<br>
* Editing tools for ontologies for networked systems<br>
* Usability and user interaction with semantic technologies in
networked applications<br>
<br>
IMPORTANT DATES<br>
<br>
Deadline for submission of papers: 15 November 2012 [Extended!]<br>
Authors to receive a 1st decision by: 30 January 2013<br>
Final notification of acceptance: 31 March 2013<br>
On-line and print publication: (subject to JRPIT Schedule)<br>
<br>
SUBMISSIONS<br>
<br>
Papers will be evaluated based on their originality, presentation,
relevance and contribution to the field of ontologies and semantics
in networked systems, as well as their suitability to the special
collection, and for their overall quality. Contributions are
accepted for review on the understanding that the same work has not
been published and that it is not being considered for publication
elsewhere. Substantially revised (minimum 30% of new content)
versions of papers published in conference proceedings can also be
submitted. In this case, the original paper should also be enclosed.<br>
The Journal of Research and Practice in Information Technology is an
international quality, peer reviewed journal covering innovative
research and practice in Information Technology. For additional
