November 9, 2006 (Press Release) --
[Vienna, 9 Nov 2006] The annual international technology conference SEMANTICS 2006 will be held at TechGate Vienna, Austria from the 28th to 30th November, 2006. SEMANTICS 2006 is the first dedicated event in Europe focusing on emerging semantic web 2.0 technologies for the next generation internet. It aims to bring together researchers from academia and high level representatives of industry to create a dynamic forum for exchanging ideas.
Project DIP (FP6 - 507483) is proud to support SEMANTICS 2006, and to participate in its scientific and industrial program through a number of contributions.
Technical, industrial and scientific applications of intelligent semantic systems – for Web 2.0, business IT, new business models and the private user – are the main topics of this three-day conference.
Leading international experts in the field representing major players (e.g. British Telecom, IBM, Microsoft, Nokia, SAP, Siemens, Wikipedia, W3C) will take an in-depth look at the current state-of-the-art in research and development and will provide insight into the use of semantic technologies.
Semantic Web – the business case
The conference will include an industrial track for presentations on innovative commercial software related to the topics of the conference, which include novel applications, experiences in applying recent research advances to practical scenarios, and innovations.
Practical scenarios and showcases will also be presented at the “Industry Awareness Day”, a program highlight of SEMANTICS 2006 on 29th November. 10 companies currently deploying SW2.0 technology will present state-of-the-art commercial use of semantic web products and services in such fields as Automotive industry, Insurance & Banking, Energy & sustainable ecology, Media content industry, Multimedia semantics, Sales, Trading & Logistics.
Pioneers of the Semantic Web 2.0 as keynote speakers
Among the keynote speakers of SEMANTICS 2006 will be the pioneers and inventors of Semantic Web 2.0: Ora Lassila (leading researcher at the Nokia Research Center Cambridge, UK) and Professor James Hendler (University of Maryland, US), as well as Professor Frank Leymann (University of Stuttgart, Germany, former head of development at IBM Germany). Additionally a wide variety of experts from research and industry will speak about the applicability of semantic technologies in corporate settings.
SEMANTICS 2006 - turning scientific research into commercial opportunities
Workshops, lectures and panel discussions will deal with a variety of applications of the emerging new web-technology: reaching from new applications such as Enterprise Service Applications, Semantic Web Services and intelligent search engines to semantic content engineering, knowledge and competence management, Social Software and Web 2.0. “This conference will offer a unique forum of exchange of experiences to innovative enterprises and international research-institutions”, says Alexander Wahler of the HANIVAL Internet Services GmbH, Vienna. “Being one of the initiators of this conference series, I am looking forward to promoting a dialogue among the enterprises active in this field and the international research community as a whole.”
SEMANTICS 2006 Exhibition: showcasing applications
Visitors to the exhibition will have the opportunity to gain an overview of products and services for the semantic information and knowledge management. Among the enterprises exhibiting will be: HANIVAL Internet Services GmbH; intrafind AG; moresophy GmbH; ontoprise GmbH; Procom Strasser; Profactor Produktionsforschungs GmbH; punkt. netServices; Salzburg NewMedialLab; and uma information technology GmbH. Other exhibitors will include the Vienna Business Agency, the Platform Knowledge Management and Austria Pro, the technology-initiative of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber.
Additionally large EU-projects DIP and SUPER will also be present. DIP aims to create an industrial strength platform based on a combination of semantic web and web services technologies to fully automate the construction of web based applications from re-usable components. SUPER aims to enable business process experts to directly query and manage business processes which reside in corporate IT systems using their preferred tools and their own business oriented terminology and language.
The conference and its organisers
The second annual international SEMANTICS Conference is organized by a consortium of leading international institutions and companies in the field of Semantic Web: the Austrian Computer Society; the Digital Enterprise Research Institute DERI of the University of Innsbruck; the HANIVAL Internet Services GmbH in Vienna; Profactor Produktionsforschungs GmbH; the competence center Salzburg New Media Lab (SNML); and the Semantic Web School – Centre for knowledge transfer (SWS).
