Mobile Web, Sensors and Semantic Streams

Description


The Internet of Things (IoT) is quickly becoming a major information source for all application domains. Recently, describing, integrating and using this data has been the focus of much research in the Semantic Web community. Special interest has been devoted to dealing with dynamicity, resource constraints; different proprietary data formats and platforms; time and location dependency of data; limited validity periods of data; faulty, imprecise and contradicting information; and integration with background (slowly evolving) knowledge. The situation is similar, though a little less severe, for mobile environments. Efficient methods for data representation, storage and analysis have been proposed, taking into account these problems, along with real-time processing of spatio-temporal semantic data, specifically in such harsh and resource-constrained environments. In this track, we invite researchers to propose new, ground-breaking ideas and results that combine stream data – available on the Web or coming from sensors and/or mobile devices – and semantic technologies for effective data description, representation (including geo-semantics), interpretation, integration, and development of novel applications.
