CALL FOR PAPERS
Advances in Semantic Computing
IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing
Special Issue/Section
IEEE Transaction on Emerging Topics in Computing (TETC) seeks original
manuscripts for a Special Issue/Section on Advances in Semantic Computing
scheduled to appear in July, 2015.
Semantic Computing (SC) is an emerging field that addresses computing
technologies which allow users to search, create and manipulate
computational resources (including data, documents, tools, people,
devices, etc.) based on semantics (“meaning”, “intention”). Semantic
Computing includes the computing technologies (e.g., artificial
intelligence, natural language, software engineering, data and knowledge
engineering, computer systems, signal processing, etc.), and their
interactions, that may be used to extract or process computation
al content and descriptions. While some areas of Semantic Computing
have appeared as isolated pieces in individual disciplines, Semantic
Computing glues these pieces together into an integrated theme with
synergetic interactions. It addresses not only the analysis and
transformation of signals (e.g., pixels, words) into useful
information, but also how such information can be accessed and used
to synthesize new signals.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Semantic Analysis:
computational linguistics, natural language processing and
understanding, image and video analysis, audio and speech
analysis, big data, social media, data and web mining
Semantic Integration:
metadata and other description languages, ontology integration,
interoperability and service integration
Semantic Applications:
Semantic programming languages and software engineering, semantic
system design and synthesis, search engines and question answering,
semantic web services, content-based multimedia retrieval and
editing, context-aware networks of sensors, semantic design of
devices and applications, semantic communication networks, semantic
trusted computing, semantic GIS systems, semantic OS, semantic
biomedical informatics, semantic computing and education, semantic
computing and finance industry, semantic business intelligence
Semantic Interfaces:
Natural language interfaces, multimodal interfaces
