<p style="margin-bottom:0cm"><u>Workshop presentation:</u></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">For its fourth edition SOS'2013
workshop proposes to highlight the multiple problems associated with
the processing of data available on open sources (OS).</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">OS include all media freely accessible,
free or paid, such as the Internet, public databases, journals,
CD-ROMs, television and radio, etc. as opposed to closed sources
whose access requires specific permissions. These OS provide huge
amount of heterogeneous multimedia data (images, text, audio, video,
etc.) requiring appropriate treatments to facilitate their
exploitation. This workshop will focus on all these steps, starting
from the discovery of available information sources, the collection
and analysis of the collected data until the knowledge gathering and
exploitation.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">A specific interest will be on
architectural choices selected for the implementation of applications
using OS. Indeed, these applications usually attempt to reconcile
several software components (COTS, open source software, ad hoc
development, etc.) to make them work together in order to achieve a
particular task. This represents a scientific and technical challenge
for which researchers on implementation of processing chains to
exploit these data can contribute. Emphasis will be placed on
service-oriented architecture (SOA) and the use of Semantic Web
technologies.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">For this edition, SOS'2013 wants to put
forward the recent challenges coming from the treatment of huge
amount of data (called "Big data"). The new explosion of
the Web size has led to an important need to adapt and optimize the
whole information processing chain in order to manage these large
amounts of data.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">This workshop aims at bringing together
researchers from academic and industrial worlds in order to obtain a
representative panel of people tackling the different problems
related to the topics listed below.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm"><u>Workshop topics:</u></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm"> * Identification and
automatic discovery of information sources,</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm"> * Access and

gathering of knowledge extracted from open sources (ontologies,
semantic annotations),</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm"> * Exploitation of

integration of heterogeneous processing services: service
interoperability, semantic orchestration,</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm"> * Strategic or
economic watch applications from open sources,</p>
