9th Workshop on Information Logistics and Applications of Semantic Technologies (ILOG 2016)

in conjunction with 15th International Conference on Business Informatics Research, BIR 2016

ILOG 2016 is the 9th workshop in a series which focuses on approaches, methods, technologies and solution for reducing information overflow and for improving information flow in organizations. Knowledge-intensive industry and service sectors, public organizations and governmental bodies are dependent on accurate and timely information supply for efficient and high quality processes and services. Intelligent information supply has become an important issue that is characterized by just-in-time, demand-oriented and context-sensitive information. The digitization of businesses including Internet-of-Things applications (IoT), Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and big data (BD) challenges pose new requirements to optimized information supply and emphasize the importance of information logistics solutions.

A specific focus of this year’s ILOG edition will be on semantic technologies, like ontologies, semantic nets, semantic web standards and other knowledge technologies. Such technologies and related methods have proven to be an important of information logistics and knowledge supply solutions. Many information logistics applications wouldn’t be feasible without moving from data processing to also interpreting the meaning of this data.

The ILOG workshop aims to bring together people who have strong interest in semantic technologies, information systems, information logistics, enterprise solutions and knowledge-based systems. We invite researchers and practitioners from both industry and academia to submit original results of their completed or ongoing projects. We encourage broad understanding of possible approaches and solutions for information logistics and applications of semantic technologies.
