SAOA 2017
3er. Simposio Argentino de Ontologías y sus Aplicaciones
3rd Argentinean Symposium on Ontologies and their Applications

 

This year SAOA is held in the framework of Latin American Conference for Informatics jointly organized by CLEI and SADIO, that gathers the Latin American community of Informatics and proposes a multidisciplinary approach to problems and practices resulting of the advance of information and communication technologies. Ontological Engineering is a multidisciplinary field that deals with the study of the theories, concepts, methodologies and tools supporting the construction of conceptual models shared among a community in specific domains. In the last years there has been a new interest in ontology application to solve modeling problems in several areas of computer science and information system fields, such as Artificial Intelligence, Linguistics, Big Data, Knowledge Management, Semantic Web, Heterogeneous Database Integration, etc.

Worldwide, researchers in all these areas recognize the need for a serious commitment with ontologies in order to provide a basis for their work, where ontologies are seen as a general theory of the types of entities and relations that exist in their research fields. Moreover, in recent years many enterprises related to the application of ontologies and semantic technologies have emerged.

The Argentine Symposium on Ontologies and their Applications aims at providing a meeting point for researchers from different fields as well as professionals from industry having interest on ontologies. SAOA encourages the submission of original contributions ranging from academic research to industrial and business applications having a significant impact as well as lessons learned and best practices in ontology development.

Important Dates

Submission deadline: april 14, 2017 Extended to 04/30/2017
Notification of acceptance or rejection: June 20, 2017
Camera-ready paper and author registration deadline: July 25, 2017
Conference: September 4-8, 2017

 

Submission Categories

Authors are invited to submit papers under the following categories:

  • Full Paper: Original contributions, ranging from state of the art academic research to industrial and business applications, or experience reports, having a significant impact (maximum 14 pages).
  • Short Paper: Original contributions, ranging from state of the art academic research to industrial and business applications, or tool demonstrations, having a significant impact (maximum 6 pages).
  • Oral Communications: Short presentations aimed at giving researchers the opportunity to further disseminate research results already published in top journals and conferences published during 2015-2016 (maximum 1 page).

Paper Submission Guidelines

SAOA 2017 looks for original contributions, ranging from state of the art academic research to industrial and business applications having a significant impact. The symposium will consist of invited talks and regular paper sessions presenting both mature work and new ideas in theoretical research and applications. All papers will be peer reviewed by at least two reviewers.

The submission of manuscripts must follow the format available at: http://www.clei2017-46jaiio.sadio.org.ar/formatos

All contributions should be submitted in PDF format. The page limit for a full paper is 14 pages, in A4 format. In case of short papers the limit is 6 pages. For diffusion reasons, papers in English are strongly recommended although Spanish and Portuguese are also acceptable. Each accepted paper should be presented in the symposium, and the presenter must be registered in the conference before the deadline for camera-ready submissions.

Papers that do not fulfill this requirement will not be included in the Symposium Proceedings. The accepted paper will be published in the 46th JAIIO Proceedings and in a volume of CEUR Workshop Proceedings. Best papers will be invited for publication in the Electronic Journal of SADIO (http://www.sadio.org.ar/ejs/ )

For oral communications, we look for presentations discussing solid, recently published research results. We ask prospective contributors to submit an abstract (maximum 1 page) explaining the problem statement, motivation, research hypothesis and validation, and publication information (venue, date, link).

All the symposia at 46 JAIIO use SADIO's conference management (http://sgc.sadio.org.ar/sgc/index.php) system to handle submissions. To upload your contribution you first need to register and sign in. If you have any problems, check the detailed instructions about registration and submission.
