CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Workshop on Formal Ontologies Meet Industry, FOMI 2008
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
Stefano Borgo (Laboratory of Applied Ontology ISTC-CNR, Trento) and
Leonardo Lesmo (Computer Science Department, Turin University) are
proud to announce the open registration to FOMI 2008. The workshop
will be hosted by the Employers' Association (Unione Industriale di
Torino) in beautiful Turin, Piedmont, ITALY - from June 5-6, 2008.
Its organization is due to the joint efforts of the Laboratory for
Applied Ontology (ISTC-CNR, Trento), and of the Department of
Computer Science (University of Turin).
FOMI is an international forum where academic researchers and
industrial practitioners meet to analyze and discuss issues related
to methods, theories, tools and applications based on formal
ontologies.
New tools and applications have been and are being developed in
diverse application fields, ranging from business to medicine, from
engineering to finance, from law to electronics. Such applications
benefit from both the theoretical results and the practical
experience of previous work. Formal ontologies can then play a key
role in describing in a common and understandable way the logical and
practical features of the application domain.
The FOMI 08 Workshop aims to advance in this direction by bringing
together researchers and practitioners interested in ontology
application, as witnessed by our diversified list of speakers and
topics.
