Second Call for Papers
Deadline: May 1, 2006

AAAI Fall Symposium
Semantic Web for Collaborative Knowledge Acquisition (SWeCKa 2006)
October 12-15, 2006
Arlington, VA

Recent advances in computing, communications together with the rapid  
proliferation of information sources and services present  
unprecedented opportunities in integrative and collaborative analysis  
and interpretation of distributed, autonomous (and hence, inevitably  
semantically heterogeneous) data and knowledge sources and services  
in virtually every area of human activity. The symposium aims to  
bring together researchers in relevant areas of artificial  
intelligence, databases, knowledge bases, machine learning,  
information integration, ontologies, semantic web, web services, and  
relevant application areas (e.g., bioinformatics, environmental  
informatics, enterprise informatics e-science, e-government, medical  
informatics, security informatics, social informatics, among others.)  
to share recent advances in the state of the art in semantic web  
technologies for such applications.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

     * Cyber-infrastructure and semantic web technologies for  
collaborative knowledge acquisition
     * Modeling semantically heterogeneous data sources and services
     * Collaboratively developing and sharing of ontologies and inter- 
ontology mappings
     * Discovering and resolving inconsistencies within and among  
ontologies
     * Representing and reasoning with ontologies and mappings  
between ontologies
     * Discovering mappings between data source schemas and between  
ontologies
     * Querying distributed, semantically heterogeneous information  
sources
     * Acquiring knowledge from distributed, autonomous, semantically  
heterogeneous information sources
     * Acquiring knowledge from partially specified data
     * Exploiting distributed knowledge and data in dynamic data- 
driven applications
     * Discovering and composing semantically heterogeneous services
     * Modeling, tracking and using information provenance
     * Modeling and reasoning about trust of information sources and  
services
     * Extracting knowledge and facts from distributed text and  
multimedia data
     * Preserving privacy, selective information and knowledge sharing
     * Case studies, Software Tools, and Prototypes

The symposium will include a series of half-day sessions, each  
addressing a challenge area. Sessions will include invited talks  
providing overviews of key topics, short presentations based on  
contributed papers, a poster session for work in progress, breakout  
sessions focusing on specific research challenges and emerging  
research directions, a panel discussion and a wrap-up session.

Submissions

Potential participants are invited to submit full papers (up to 8  
pages in length), poster summaries or extended abstracts (1-2 pages  
in length) by May 1, 2006. Submissions should be in the AAAI camera- 
ready format (postcript or pdf files) and should be sent  
electronically to  [email protected]. Each submission will  
be reviewed by at least two program committee members. Authors of  
accepted papers and abstracts will be notified by May 22, 2006.

Extended versions of selected papers may be published in a special  
issue of a journal or an edited book. Partial travel support for  
graduate and postdoctoral students may be available.
