From a practical perspective, the cost and effort required for introducing Semantic Web and Linked Data technology is significant. A key step towards abolishing the barriers to the adoption and deployment of this technology is to provide open benchmarking reports that allow users to assess the fitness of existing solutions for their purposes. In this special issue, we hence welcome articles (1) proposing benchmarks and related platforms, and/or (2) performing a throughout evaluation of Semantic Web solutions. A focus of the special issue will be scalability and reproducibility. The target topics of the benchmark/evaluation include (but are not limited to): Knowledge extraction Named entity recognition Disambiguation Relation extraction Open and closed knowledge extraction Link discovery and prediction Linking at scale Linking for dedicated data types (e.g., geospatial data) Knowledge curation and fact checking Ontology alignment Alignment discovery Alignment repair Complex ontology alignment Tabular data to knowledge graph matching Cell to KG entity matching Column to KG semantic type Relation discovery among table columns KG population OWL reasoning Classification Entailment checking Class satisfiability Ontology satisfiability Query answering Knowledge graph completion Semantic embeddings Quality of embeddings Ontology Based Data Access Performance Relational schema to ontology alignment Visualization Browsing ** Important Dates ** Intention to submit: 31st July 2019, 23:59 PM Hawaii-Time (please fill the form http://tiny.cc/jws-si-bench-interest) Submission deadline: 31st August 2019 Author notification (1st round): 15th October 2019 Revisions due: 15th November 2019 Publication: Q1 2020 ** Instructions for submission ** The submission website for this journal is located at https://ees.elsevier.com/jws/default.asp Authors have to select Benchmarking_Sem_Web when reaching the "Article Type" step in the submission process. ** Guest Editors ** - Axel Ngonga, Paderborn University (Germany) (axel.ngonga at uni-paderborn.de) - Cassia Trojahn dos Santos, Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse (France) (cassia.trojahn at irit.fr) - Ernesto Jimenez-Ruiz, The Alan Turing Institute (UK) and University of Oslo (Norway) (ernesto.jimenez.ruiz at gmail.com) - Main contact point - Valentina Tamma, University of Liverpool (UK) (V.Tamma at liverpool.ac.uk) From wortmann at se-rwth.de Mon Jul 15 12:30:55 2019 From: wortmann at se-rwth.de (Andreas Wortmann) Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2019 12:30:55 +0200 Subject: [fg-arc] EAPLS PhD Award 2018: Call for Nominations Message-ID: ============================================= EAPLS PhD Award 2018: Call for Nominations ============================================= URL: http://eapls.org/pages/phd_award/ The European Association for Programming Languages and Systems (EAPLS) has established a Best Dissertation Award in the international research area of programming languages and systems.

Questions can be directed to the Ph.D. award chairs, at ep18 at easychair.org. Procedure -------------------------------- The nominations will be evaluated and compared by an international committee of experts. The procedure to be followed is analogous to the review phase of a conference. The justification by the supervisor and the external report will play an important role in the evaluation. The final decision is made by the EAPLS board, based on the recommendation of the expert committee. Members of the expert committee and the EAPLS board are barred from nominating their own Ph.D. students for the award. The award consists of a certificate announcing the winner to have received the EAPLS Ph.D. award 2018 and the supervisor will receive a copy of this certificate. If possible, the certificate will be handed out ceremonially at a suitable occasion, as for instance the ETAPS conference. Apart from the winner, no further ranking of nominees will be published. The decision of the expert committee is final and binding, and will not be subject to discussion.

A technical solution paper must include a preliminary validation of the proposed solution, and results must be stated clearly enough so that it is possible to validate them in follow-up research. Evaluation papers (max 16 pages Springer) evaluate existing problem situations or validate proposed solutions through scientific means, i.e., by empirical studies, experiments, case studies, simulations, mathematical proofs, etc. The research method must be sound and appropriate. Industrial practice and experience papers (max 16 pages Springer) thoroughly present problems or challenges encountered in practice, elaborate on success or failure with existing approaches, or report on industrial practice (e.g., methods and tools). A paper in this category shall provide a clear context, detail the problem or the industrial practice, and explain the lessons learned. Work in progress papers (max 8 pages Springer) present relevant preliminary results across the spectrum of information science.
