Semantic Web Summit
How can you create value that will put you ahead of the competition? The Semantic Web Summit, formerly the Web 3.0 Conference, features innovators across industries examining the potential of the semantic web, and how it can transform the way you do business. This won’t be a day and a half of technical jargon — this event is about improving efficiencies in marketing and information management for a positive bottom line effect. Semantic web technologies offer opportunities to reframe the way we use information and collaborate across the web in industries as diverse as publishing, healthcare, government, and finance. Our speakers will talk about their successes, the obstacles they face, and why they believe that implementation of the semantic web will transform our future. Speakers include Stephen Wolfram (Wolfram Alpha), Mike Dunn (Hearst), Dennis Wisnosky (Dept. of Defense), Jay Myers (Best Buy) and more. http://www.mediabistro.com/semanticwebsummit/?c=swyup

SDForum Semantic Web Event- Make Machines Learn for Us
One advantage for being human is that we are able to learn. We gain even more advantage if we can make machine learn for us. On this event, we are going to learn what machine learning is about from experts. Machine learning is being applied to optimize and automate many processes including search engine, online ad platform, customer intelligence, etc. Hope you will get some ideas from the presentations that will help you implement machine learning in your applications. Evgeniy Gabrilovich from Yahoo Research will present “Machine learning in computational advertising: algorithms and applications”: Online advertising is the primary economic force behind numerous Internet services ranging from major Web search engines to obscure forums. A new discipline - Computational Advertising - has recently emerged, which studies the process of advertising on the Internet from a variety of angles. A successful advertising campaign should be integral to the user experience and relevant to the users’ information needs, as well as economically worthwhile to the advertiser and the publisher. This talk will survey the use of machine learning techniques in designing computational advertising systems. We demonstrate how to enrich query representation using Web search results, and thus use the Web as a repository of relevant query-specific knowledge. We also discuss the findings of our studies on when to advertise, as well as the insights we gained by studying how users interact with the ads.

SDForum Java Event: Newspeak: A Principled Dynamic Language
Bio: Gilad Bracha is the creator of the Newspeak programming language. He is currently a VP at SAP Labs in Palo Alto focusing on programming models for the cloud. Previously, he was a Distinguished Engineer at Cadence, and a Computational Theologist and Distinguished Engineer at Sun. He is co-author of the Java Language Specification, and a researcher in the area of object-oriented programming languages. Prior to joining Sun, he worked on Strongtalk, the Animorphic Smalltalk System. He received his B.Sc in Mathematics and Computer Science from Ben Gurion University in Israel and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Utah. Topic: Newspeak: A Principled Dynamic Language Newspeak is a dynamic programming language focused on software engineering. Newspeak takes the mantra “program to an interface rather than an implementation” seriously. The language has no global namespace and no static state, and all names are late bound - including class names. All classes in Newspeak are virtual, every class declaration defines a mixin, and class hierarchy inheritance comes for free. Newspeak is highly modular: dependency injection is unnecessary, the factory pattern is baked in and side-by-side deployment is trivial. Module definitions can be compiled in any order because they have no external dependencies. The talk will explain how Newspeak achieves this on a very simple semantic foundation, and demonstrate the system in action.

8th R&D Product Development Innovation Summit
OVERVIEW This Summit will provide participants with a snapshot of the evolution, current status, and projected future of Innovation Strategies, Investment Levels, Processes, Practices, Tools, Metrics, and Other Key Innovation areas as viewed from the top of corporations. GGI, a 24-year old company, has been performing primary and secondary research on the rapidly evolving Innovation Body Of Knowledge for the past ten years to enable us to bring the best current knowledge to our consulting clients. At this Summit, we will not be espousing the methodologies of our firm. At this Summit, we will communicate the evolutionary path and current status of Innovation in industry today. We will also communicate what is most likely to happen to Corporate Innovation capabilities and prowess in the next five to ten years. At the conclusion of the Summit, everyone will be up to speed and have a glimpse of the future. Senior executives wishing to put themselves and their fellow senior executives in a better position to direct and drive Innovation should strongly consider attending. Several of our prior participants have said, “this Summit is an Executive MBA on the subject of Innovation.” ANNOUNCEMENT The ability of top managers and professionals to direct and manage Innovation in their companies is the focus of the 8th R&D-Product Development Innovation Summit. The Innovation Summit will be held Tue/Wed/Thur August 17-19, 2010 in metro Boston. The Innovation Summit is a fact and data driven three-day seminar and workshop focused on the select areas of innovation and intellectual property that are tangible and actionable by corporations and their managers. Summit Description Our quantitative approach to innovation in R&D, Product Development, and Product Commercialization activities emphasizes benchmarking both current performance and leading trends regarding issues that top professionals have to deal with and the decisions that they have to make. For example, do you know which activities and techniques your company currently uses that contribute the most to innovation versus those that simply improve execution? Technical Feasibility Analysis is one of the six most innovative techniques! For example, do you know that there are over 250 available tools and techniques your company could choose to deploy that would likely increase overall creativity and innovativeness? And, that there are about 50 tools worth considering. Some actually increase domain knowledge! Has your company incorporated any of these innovation tools into its Product Development Process to complement DOE, FMEA, Design Reviews and the numerous other execution-oriented tools that dominate most PDPs? For example, do you know the metrics that are emerging in industry that best capture and/or drive innovative behavior and results at the corporate level? A new “Return On Innovation - ROI” formula is one of them! For example, do you know how to categorize and communicate your registered and unregistered Intellectual Property to maximize market capitalization values by Wall Street analysts? Some frameworks are now several years in practice and are giving companies a leg up on their competitors! The 8 Innovation Modules The content of the Summit is organized into 8 modules. The duration of each module and the flow over the three days is in our Summit ATaGLANCE. There is a Summit Brochure. Companies who have participated in prior GGI Summits may be of interest, along with selected Testimonials. All of this information is available on our website: www.goldensegroupinc.com. In summary, the eight modules are: 1. Best Practice Innovation Processes 2. Corporate-Level & Tactical-Level Innovation Drivers 3. Innovation Enablers & Tools: 5 Groups & 50 Items 4. Three Key Innovation Tools & Techniques 5. Semantic Technologies & Knowledge-Enabled Innovation 6. Best Practice IP Valuation, Management, & Communication 7. Open & Outsourced Innovation Frameworks 8. Innovation Metrics & Rewards In addition at this Summit, GGI will be presenting the set of results of our 2008 Primary Research on Tangible Innovation: Innovation Environment, Innovation Processes, Innovation Branding, Innovation Tools, and Top C-Level Innovation Metrics. Two-hundred corporations participated! As we plan on sharing a majority of the 2008 Primary Research at the Summit, we will also be giving each Summit participant a complimentary pdf copy of the 100+ page findings and conclusions document as a bonus along with permission for the document posted to your company intranet for the use of all employees. This is a significant value when combined with the Summit. Who Should Come Our overall approach to the Summit is geared to top-level professionals that manage entire organizations, departments, budgets, and senior program management executives. Numerous companies have brought teams of officers ranging from three to ten in size in the quest to develop an improved and systematic ability to innovate across their employee base. Directors and leaders of technology and product creation activities will gain a high level understanding of what is available to them to systematically embed a culture of innovation, and approaches and alternatives for implementation. Selected techniques will be discussed as examples to illustrate the range of options available. The techniques that a “pure innovator strategy” company might pursue are often different than a company that wishes a “balanced product portfolio strategy.” Please be sure though, the level of discussion at this Summit is geared to top management and their ability to direct these activities. We always offer significant discounts to companies that bring Company Teams of three or more people, $254 per person.

KMIS- International Conference on Knowledge Management and Information Sharing
Conference name: KMIS- International Conference on Knowledge Management and Information Sharing Venue: Valencia, Spain Event Date:25-28 October, 2010 SCOPE Knowledge Management (KM) is a discipline concerned with the analysis and technical support of practices used in an organization to identify, create, represent, distribute and enable the adoption and leveraging of good practices embedded in collaborative settings and, in particular, in organizational processes. Effective knowledge management is an increasingly important source of competitive advantage, and a key to the success of contemporary organizations, bolstering the collective expertise of its employees and partners. There are several perspectives on KM, but all share the same core components, namely: People, Processes and Technology. Some take a techno-centric focus, in order to enhance knowledge integration and creation; some take an organizational focus, in order to optimize organization design and workflows; some take an ecological focus, where the important aspects are related to people interaction, knowledge and environmental factors as a complex adaptive system similar to a natural ecosystem. Information Sharing (IS) is a term used for a long time in the information technology (IT) lexicon, related to data exchange, communication protocols and technological infrastructures. Although standardization is indeed an essential element for sharing information, IS effectiveness requires going beyond the syntactic nature of IT and delve into the human functions involved in the semantic, pragmatic and social levels of organizational semiotics. The two areas are intertwined as information sharing is the foundation for knowledge management. KMIS aims at becoming a major meeting point for researchers and practitioners interested in the study and application of all perspectives of Knowledge Management and Information Sharing.

KEOD-International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Ontology Development
Conference name: KEOD-International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Ontology Development Venue: Valencia, Spain Event Date:25-28 October, 2010 SCOPE Knowledge Engineering (KE) refers to all technical, scientific and social aspects involved in building, maintaining and using knowledge-based systems. KE is a multidisciplinary field, bringing in concepts and methods from several computer science domains such as artificial intelligence, databases, expert systems, decision support systems and geographic information systems. From the software development point of view, KE uses principles that are strongly related to software engineering. KE is also related to mathematical logic, as well as strongly involved in cognitive science and socio-cognitive engineering where the knowledge is produced by socio-cognitive aggregates (mainly humans) and is structured according to our understanding of how human reasoning and logic works. Currently, KE is strongly related to the construction of shared knowledge bases or conceptual frameworks, often designated as ontologies. Ontology Development aims at building reusable semantic structures that can be informal vocabularies, catalogs, glossaries as well as more complex finite formal structures representing the entities within a domain and the relationships between those entities. Ontologies, have been gaining interest and acceptance in computational audiences : formal ontologies are a form of software, thus software development methodologies can be adapted to serve ontology development. A wide range of applications is emerging, especially given the current web emphasis, including library science, ontology-enhanced search, e-commerce and configuration. KEOD aims at becoming a major meeting point for researchers and practitioners interested in the study and development of methodologies and technologies for Knowledge Engineering and Ontology Development. CONFERENCE TOPICS › Knowledge representation › Knowledge acquisition › Context modeling and management › Reflection and metadata approaches › Decision support systems › Expert systems › Ontology engineering › Networked ontologies › Semantic web › Process knowledge and semantic services › Ontology sharing and reuse › Ontology matching and alignment › Knowledge reengineering › AI programming › Intelligent problem solving › Natural language processing › Human-machine cooperation › e-Business and interoperability issues › Intelligent multi-agent systems › Applications and case-studies › Domain analysis and modeling › Metamodelling › Mobile access to knowledge systems › Knowledge engineering education IMPORTANT DATES › Conference date: 25-28 October, 2010 › Regular Paper Submission: May 20, 2010 › Authors Notification (regular papers): July 09, 2010 › Final Regular Paper Submission and Registration: July 27, 2010 SECRETARIAT KEOD Secretariat Address: Av.

ICI-29 Text Mining
Controlling and managing the flood of data Under the generic term text mining, many different technologies used to index (unstructured) content are grouped. On the one hand, these technologies comprise of term extraction and aggregation as a basis for semantic indexing, retrieval and clustering solutions. On the other hand, categorization of documents, generation of abstracts to the point of detecting patterns and relationships between terms through steps of text analysis are the main aspects. These results can be presented in a “document warehouse” with methods from the Semantic Web environment and displayed with visualization tools.
