International
Workshop on Semantic e-Science 3rd September, 2006, (Apologies
for cross posting. Please send to interested colleagues and students) (Extended
version of selected papers will be published as a special issue of BMC bioinformatics). ---------------------------------------------------- =======Call
for Papers======== In
the successful series of Semantic Grid and e-Science events we intend to bring
together researchers and practitioners around the world from the quickly
developing research areas of the Semantic Web, Grid and e-Science. As semantic
technologies are being widely accepted in various e-science areas such as life
science or bioinformatics, it is necessary and urgent to offer semantically
enriched methods, tools, middleware to facilitate semantic modeling, system
building, searching, and data analyzing in e-science applications. Former
Semantic Grid research aimed at the Grid level, in which often the basic
premises of the science-like environment are forgotten or disregarded. Thus the
main goal of this workshop is to lay the foundations for e-Science within the
Semantic Web scenario. The
aim of this workshop is to ground Semantic e-Science firmly on the needs of the
Semantic Web and general science research community. We want to encourage and
stimulate discussion about the current state of the art in Semantic e-Science
and its future direction. Currently, ontologies and the Semantic Web attract
researchers from all around the world and from various disciplines. There have
been many approaches of using ontologies in the e-Science domain, which has
been introduced in several past Semantic Grid and e-Science events. However,
the role of ontology in the Semantic e-Science research has still not been
unambiguously formalized. On the other hand, ontology-based tools for various
e-Science branches have been widely developed and already attracted the
attention from traditional science research community and provided real cases
and experience for applying Semantic Web technologies. We regard it as
necessity to set a research agenda at this point in time, in order to steer the
development and the research efforts in the most rewarding direction towards
our common goal of realizing the Semantic e-Science. Otherwise we fear that
effort, motivation and funding may be invested less effectively, slowing the
realization and adaptation of the Semantic Web technology in the e-Science
research. Furthermore, there is also a great opportunity for the building the
collaboration between the EU and non-EU universities, especially Asian
universities, which locate at the one of the most active economical areas
around the world. The holding of this workshop would help to build closer
connection between researchers from both sides, and consolidate the
collaborations. Main

and Proceedings ---------------------------------------------------- Interested
authors should submit an electronic PDF and source version of their papers to
*Yimin Wang* prior to the paper submission deadline. The first page of
submitted papers should include: title, author names, affiliations, postal
addresses, electronic mail addresses, telephone and fax numbers for all
authors, and a brief abstract. All correspondence will be sent to the author
mentioned as contact person in the electronic title page (by default, the first
author). Regualr submissions should not exceed 10 pages and should be formatted
according to the guidelines of the Springer Lecture Notes. Posters
and demos should be submitted up to 4 pages LNCS format. The
workshop proceedings will be published in electronic version online. Extended
version of selected papers will be published as a supplement issue of *BMC
Bioinformatics journal* (confirmed) and *IJSWIS*
(pending to approve), depending on the different aspects of proceedings. BMC
Bioinformatics is a respectable, SCI-indexed journal with a focus on
bio/medical informatics, with impactor 5.2. IJSWIS is an active journal which has
good impact within the Semantic Web community. Important
