[SIPTA] CWI World Cup Competition

by Erik Quaeghebeur

Dear colleagues, You are invited to (anonymously) participate in the ongoing CWI World Cup Competition, a betting game with low, voluntary stakes. The game interface uses the imprecise probabilistic model type of sets of acceptable gambles as a primitive. To start, go to http://worldcup.project.cwi.nl Remarks: * The big and small final will be added to the match list once the semifinals are over. * You have to donate not just your net, but all your losses to the Red Cross/Crescent! * If the website is down temporarily, please try again later. * Feel free to provide comments in the feedback box. Have fun, Erik Quaeghebeur -- http://ac.erikquaeghebeur.name

[SIPTA] CFP URSW 2014: 10th International Workshop on Uncertainty Reasoning for the Semantic Web

by Thomas Lukasiewicz

[Apologies for cross-posting] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 10th International Workshop on Uncertainty Reasoning for the Semantic Web http://c4i.gmu.edu/ursw/2014 In conjunction with the 13th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2014) Riva del Garda, Italy October 19-20, 2014 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You are invited to participate in the upcoming workshop on Uncertainty Reasoning for the Semantic Web (URSW), to be held as part of the 13th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) in October 2014 at Fierecongressi SpA, Riva del Garda, Italy. ISWC is a major international forum for presenting visionary research on all aspects of the Semantic Web. The Uncertainty Reasoning workshop is an exciting opportunity for collaboration and cross-fertilization between the uncertainty reasoning community and the Semantic Web / Linked Data community. Effective methods for reasoning under uncertainty are vital for realizing many aspects of the Semantic Web vision, but the ability of current-generation web technology to handle uncertainty remains extremely limited. Thus, there is a continuing demand for uncertainty reasoning technology among Semantic Web researchers and developers, and the URSW workshop creates a unique opening to bring together two communities with a clear commonality of interest but limited history of interaction. By capitalizing on this opportunity, URSW could spark dramatic progress toward realizing the Semantic Web vision. IMPORTANT DATES July 7, 2014: Paper submissions due July 30: Paper acceptance notification August 20: Camera-ready papers due October 19-20: 10th Workshop on Uncertainty Reasoning for the Semantic Web SUBMISSION DETAILS http://c4i.gmu.edu/ursw/2014/submission/index.html PRESENTATION AND PUBLICATION URSW 2014 will be a half-day workshop. All papers accepted to the URSW will be presented during the workshop and published in the workshop proceedings. Authors of accepted technical papers will have 20 minutes to present their work, while authors of accepted position papers will have a 10-minute slot to share their ideas. After each presentation, 5 minutes will be allocated to questions from the audience. Both technical and position papers will be published in the URSW workshop proceedings, to be available after the ISWC 2014 conference. In addition, extended and revised versions of selected technical papers accepted for presentation at the URSW 2014 will be eligible for participating in a "Journal of Data Semantics" special issue with the best ISWC 2014 workshop papers or in a joint post-proceedings book ("Uncertainty Reasoning for the Semantic Web IV") with papers from the next editions of the URSW workshop. ORGANIZING COMMITTEE http://c4i.gmu.edu/ursw/2014/organization/index.html PROGRAM COMMITTEE http://c4i.gmu.edu/ursw/2014/program/index.html We are looking forward to seeing you in Riva del Garda!
