Call for Papers:

There exists a growing interest to gather, store and query data from various aspects of human knowledge including geographical data; data about various aspects of human activities like music, literature, and sport; scientific data from biology, chemistry, astronomy and other scientific fields; as well as data presenting the activities of governments and other important institutions.

There is consensus that data should be presented in some form of graph data model where simple and natural abstractions are used to represent data as subjects and their properties described by objects, that is, by means of nodes and edges of a graph.

A number of practical projects that allow for gathering and storing graph data have been started. One of the most famous examples is Linked Open Data (LOD) project that gathered more than 32 giga triples from the areas such as media, geography, government, life sciences and others. The language employed for the representation of data is Resource Description Framework (RDF) which is a form of graph data model.

Storing and managing huge amounts of structured data represents a problem that could be compared to the problem of querying huge amounts of text that appeared after the advent of Internet. The differences are in the degree of structure and semantics that data formats such as RDF and OWL encompass comparing them to HTML.

We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals.

Industrial presentations are not subject to the format and content constraints of regular submissions. We expect short and long presentations that express industrial position and status.

Tutorials on specific related topics and panels on challenging areas are encouraged.

The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, research, standards, implementations, running experiments, applications, and industrial case studies. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited to, topic areas.

All topics are open to both research and industry contributions.

Publication Site for ACHI 2014

Note that the paper page limit as well as the cost per extra page may not be specified at the above link. These details are in the Call for Papers, namely "Final author manuscripts will be 8.5" x 11", not exceeding 6 pages; max 4 extra pages allowed at additional cost". The costs of additional pages are on the Registration Form.[pdf]

If you have any questions about the paper upload process, please contact the proceedings production editor, Mike.

Registration Form:

One registration form covers the registration of the paper and the participation of one presenter.

If an author has two (or more) accepted papers, each paper must be registered with a separate form.

Every participant must register separately. (if two co-authors attend, they each must register)

There are a limited number of prebooked hotel rooms. We suggest you reserve yours at the same time with the paper registration. The flight information can be sent at a later date.

Registration form download:

Note: If you attend but do not have a paper to present, use paper number "0" on your registration form.

The registration form in RTF format can be found here. [pdf version]
