Right arrow bullet A Description Logic Voyage: From Inexpressive to Expressive Languages and Back - Franz Baader (Technische Universität Dresden): Canberra, 14 December 2006

Description Logics (DL) are a successful family of logic-based knowledge representation languages, which can be used to represent the conceptual knowledge of an application domain in a structured and formally well-understood way. They are employed in various application domains, such as natural language processing, configuration, and databases, but their most notable success so far is the adoption of the DL-based language OWL as standard ontology language for the semantic web. OWL is based on a very expressive language with worst-case intractable reasoning problems.

The talk will first give a brief introduction into DL and an overview of the research in this area of the last 20 years. It will then argue that the fact that there are effective and practically useful reasoning procedures for the DL underlying OWL strongly depends on this fundamental research, without which the development of OWL would not have been possible. In spite of these successes of expressive languages, OWL and existing reasoners for OWL are not appropriate for all ontology applications. The talk will describe the more recent development of polynomial-time reasoning procedures for less expressive description logics, which can deal with very large biomedical ontologies, such as SNOMED (the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine), much better than the existing highly-optimised OWL reasoners.

Franz Baader received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Erlangen in 1989. From 1989-1993 he was a senior researcher at the German Research Center for AI (DFKI) in Kaiserslautern and Saarbrücken. In 1993 he was appointed as associate professor for computer science at RWTH Aachen, and in 2002 as full professor for computer science at TU Dresden. His research interests include knowledge representation (in particular, description logics, nonmonotonic logics, and modal logics) and automated deduction (in particular, unification theory, term rewriting systems, and combination of constraint solving methods). He has published about 140 books and refereed articles in major journals and conferences. In particular, he is co-editor of The Description Logic Handbook and co-author of four of its chapters.

Right arrow bullet The Australian Ontology Workshop (AOW 2006): Hobart, 5 December 2006

Held in conjunction with the 19th Australian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AI'06)

Advances in Ontologies:
The use of formal ontologies in knowledge systems has many advantages. It allows for an unambiguous specification of the structure of knowledge in a domain, enables knowledge sharing and, as a result, makes it possible to perform automated reasoning about ontologies. In recent years there has been a worldwide increase in the use of ontologies, both in industry and in research laboratories. There is a growing community of researchers in Australia and New Zealand, working on various aspects of ontologies. The primary aim of this workshop is to bring together ontology researchers in the region.

Topics:

The workshop will seek submission of papers on original and unpublished research on all aspects of ontology research, including, but not limited to:

Web Research, Standards and Web Applications (W3C Update) SIG Day: Program and Presentations

Right arrow bullet Web Directions presents Lars Rasmussen from Google Maps and Dean Jackson from the W3C: Sydney, 29 June 2006

The Web is abuzz with talk of Web 2.0.

While it's a term that has been done to death, it's also clear something new and exciting is happening on the Web. Ajax, Web applications and APIs are giving rise to a new breed of Web solution. At the forefront of this revolution is Google, and among their stellar applications is Google Maps.

Web Directions brings you the opportunity to hear from Lars Rasmussen, a lead engineer of the team that created Google Maps. These guys were doing Ajax long before it had that name, and revolutionized mapping by opening their API to other Web based applications, giving rise to the phenomenon of "mashups", innovative uses of multiple Web based data sources to create novel solutions.

Hear Lars talk about the design and development challenges and solutions involved in complex Web based applications, and show off some of the cool things the Google Maps team have been working on.

Also speaking will be Dean Jackson of the W3C, who is among many other things the technical lead for the W3C's Web APIs Working Group. This group is working to develop standard APIs for client-side Web Application development., which includes both documenting existing APIs such as XMLHttpRequest (the X in "Ajax" ) and developing new APIs in order to enable richer Web applications. In short, to do for Web apps what CSS did for static Web design.

If you work with the Web, you'll be enthused, inspired, and informed by these two incredibly knowledgeable, entertaining speakers.

Web Directions will provide fine finger food for the night, and there'll be a cash bar if you feel like a drink.

You'll also have the chance to win a place at the Web Directions Conference later this year in Sydney, valued at $750, as well as places at our exclusive breakfast with Web guru Molly Holzschlag.
