Hi everybody,
tomorrow EU morning (Wed Mar 7th) I'd need to reboot stat100[56] and
analytics1003 for kernel security updates. Hive and Oozie (Analytics Hadoop
cluster) will not be available for a (hopefully) brief period of time.
Please let me know if there is an important work that you are doing that
cannot be stopped and the maintenance will be postponed accordingly :)

Thanks!
Luca (on behalf of the Analytics team)
Apologies for cross-posting

SEMANTiCS’18 proceedings will be published as Open Access by Elsevier
Procedia Computer Science.
The annual SEMANTiCS conference is the meeting place for professionals
who make semantic computing work, understand its benefits, and encounter
its limitations. Every year, SEMANTiCS attracts information managers,
IT-architects, software engineers and researchers from a wide spectrum
of organisations ranging from SMEs and non-profit organizations, to
public administration bodies, to the largest companies in the world.
Attendees learn from industry experts and top researchers about emerging
trends and topics in the fields of semantic software, including
enterprise data, linked data & open data strategies, methodologies in
knowledge modelling and text & data analytics. The SEMANTiCS community
is highly diverse; attendees routinely interlinking areas such as
knowledge management, technical documentation, e-commerce, big data
analysis, enterprise search, document management, business intelligence
and enterprise vocabulary management.
Given the success of last year’s conference in Amsterdam, which
attracted more than 370 attendees from 28 countries, SEMANTiCS 2018 is
bound to continue a long tradition of bringing together a community from
around the world. There will be presentations on industry
implementations, use case prototypes, best practices, panels, papers and
posters to discuss semantic systems in a broad range of regular as well
as informal settings. SEMANTiCS addresses problems common among
information managers, software engineers, IT-architects and various
specialist departments working to develop, implement and evaluate
semantic software systems.
The SEMANTiCS program will provide a rich mix of technical talks, panel
discussions on emerging topics and presentations by people who make
things work - just like you. In addition, attendees will have a unique
opportunity to network with experts in a variety of fields. These
relationships provide great value to organisations as they encounter
technical challenges in any stage of implementation. The expertise
gained by SEMANTiCS attendees has a long-term impact on their careers
and organisations. These factors make SEMANTiCS the key event across
Europe for a diverse community of industry leaders and academic experts
alike.
Following the success of the previous year, this year’s SEMANTiCS will
also again feature a special Data Science track, which offer a unique
opportunity to bring together researchers and practitioners interested
in the intersection of Semantic Technologies, Linked Data and Data
Science and provide a platform to present their ideas and discuss the
most important scientific, technical and socio-economic challenges in
this emerging field.
SEMANTiCS 2018 particularly welcomes submissions on the following key
topics:
*Web Semantics, Linked (Open) Data & schema.org
*Corporate Knowledge Graphs
*Knowledge Integration and Language Technologies

# Vocarnival
Bootstrap your new Vocabulary project: At the carnival you can present
your ideas and early stage vocabs to find the right people to get the
Vocab discussion going. For this event we use a very open definition of
what a vocabulary is. Ontologies, classifications, thesauri, concept and
metadata schemes, whatever their format, in RDF or not, are all welcome.
We require at least a project website. Details to follow.
The detailed calls will be available on the conference website
http://2018.semantics.cc

About the Conference
--------------------
OpenSym is the only conference that brings together the different
strands of open collaboration research and practice, seeking to create
synergies and inspire new collaborations between people from computer
science, information science, social science, humanities, and everyone
interested in understanding open collaboration and how it is changing
our society.
This year’s conference will be held in Paris, France on August 22-24,
2018. A Doctoral Symposium will take place on August 21, 2018.
OpenSym is held in-cooperation with ACM SIGWEB and ACM SIGSOFT and the
conference proceedings will be archived in the ACM digital library like
all prior editions.
Submission Information and Instructions
---------------------------------------
Topics: The conference provides peer-reviewed research tracks on
subjects related to open collaboration including:
- Open Collaboration Research, esp. Wikis and Social Media
- Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS)
- Open Data, Open Access, and Open Science
- Open Education
- IT-Driven Open Innovation
- Open Policy/Open Government/Open Law
- Wikipedia and Wikimedia Research
Paper Presentation: OpenSym 2018 will be organized as a one track
conference in order to emphasize the interdisciplinary character of this
conference and to encourage discussion.
Submission Deadline: The research paper submission deadline is March
15th 2018. Submitted papers should present integrative reviews or
original reports of substantive new work: theoretical, empirical, and/or
in the design, development and/or deployment of novel concepts, systems,
and mechanisms. Research papers will be reviewed to meet rigorous
academic standards of publication. Papers will be reviewed for
relevance, conceptual quality, innovation and clarity of presentation.
All the submissions are done via the EasyChair platform, here:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=opensym2018
Paper Length: There is no minimum or maximum length for submitted
papers. Rather, reviewers will be instructed to weigh the contribution
of a paper relative to its length. Papers should report research
thoroughly but succinctly: brevity is a virtue. A typical length of a
“long research paper” is 10 pages (formerly the maximum length limit and
the limit on OpenSym tracks), but may be shorter if the contribution can
be described and supported in fewer pages—shorter, more focused papers
(called “short research papers” previously) are encouraged and will be
reviewed like any other paper. While we will review papers longer than
10 pages, the contribution must warrant the extra length. Reviewers will
be instructed to reject papers whose length is incommensurate with the
size of their contribution. Papers should be formatted in ACM SIGCHI
paper format. Reviewing is not double-blind so manuscripts do not need
to be anonymized.
Posters: As in previous years, OpenSym will also be hosting a poster
session at the conference. To propose a poster, authors should submit an
extended abstract (not more than 4 pages) describing the content of the
poster which will be published in a non-archival companion proceedings
to the conference. Posters should use the ACM SIGCHI templates for
extended abstracts. An example of a poster abstract can be found here.
Reviewing is not double-blind so abstracts do not need to be anonymized.
Paper Proceedings: OpenSym is held in-cooperation with ACM SIGWEB and
ACM SIGSOFT and the conference proceedings will be archived in the ACM
digital library like all prior editions. OpenSym seeks to accommodate
the needs of the different research disciplines it draws on including
disciplines with archival conference proceedings and disciplines where
authors usually present at conferences and publish later. Authors, whose
submitted papers have been accepted for presentation at the conference
have a choice of:
having their paper become part of the official proceedings, archived in
the ACM Digital Library,
having their paper published in the conference website only, with no
transfer of copyright from the authors,
having no publication record at all but only the presentation at the
conference.
Response from authors: For the second time at OpenSym, authors will be
given the opportunity to write a response to their reviews before final
decisions are made. This should be treated as an opportunity to correct
any mistakes or misconceptions in the reviews as well as to propose
minor changes that the authors can make during the two weeks between
notification and the camera-ready deadline.
Important Dates
Submission deadline: March 15, 2018
Reviews sent to authors: May 11, 2018
Response to reviews from authors due: May 20, 2018
Final decision notification: June 15, 2018
Camera-ready papers due: June 22, 2018
Papers available online: July 13, 2018
