Similarly, there is =20 also a need for theoretical research that is driven by the issues that have been raised by recent work in the more applied domains. =20 FOIS is intended to be a forum in which to explore this interplay =20 between the theoretical insights of formal ontology and their =20 application to information systems and emerging semantic technologies. =20 Invited Speakers ---------------- * Johanna Seibt (Aarhus Universitet, Denmark) * Mike Uschold (Reinvent Technology, Vancouver, B.C., previously =20 Boeing Corporation, USA) * York Sure (SAP Research, Germany) =20 Tutorials ---------------- * Tutorial 1: Nicola Guarino - Ontologies and Ontological Analysis: =20 An Introduction * Tutorial 2: Ludger van Elst & Michael Sintek - Ontologies and the =20 Semantic Web: Building Blocks and Challenges =20 Important Dates and Further Information --------------------------------------- * Early registration ends: September 1st, 2008 * Student Poster Submissions: August 31, 2008 * Conference: October 31st - November 3rd, 2008 =20 * Visit http://fois08.dfki.de for further details and registration =20 Registration Fees ---------------------- * Students: early: EUR 50;
