 *Workshop presentation:*

For its fourth edition SOS'2013 workshop proposes to highlight the multiple
problems associated with the processing of data available on open sources
(OS).

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.

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.

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.

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.


 *Workshop topics:*

    * Identification and automatic discovery of information sources,

    * Access and collection of information from open sources (web, social
networks, RSS feeds and others),

    * Classification and filtering of information of interest,

    * Information extraction from unstructured text and/or using specific
vocabularies (blogs, texting, forums),

    * Information extraction from large corpus of multimedia data (text,
image, video, audio),

    * Opinion and sentiment analysis from social media (social networks,
weblogs, forums),

    * Modeling and gathering of knowledge extracted from open sources
(ontologies, semantic annotations),

    * Exploitation of knowledge extracted from open sources: reasoning,
decision support, visualization,

    * Detection of weak signals,

    * Open sources quotation and assessment,

    * Quotation of information extracted from open sources,

    * Inference mechanisms, mining and link validation between data,

    * Platforms for the integration of heterogeneous processing services:
service interoperability, semantic orchestration,

    * Strategic or economic watch applications from open sources,

    * Open sources intelligence applications (OSINT),

    * "Big data"-oriented applications.


 *Important dates:*

    * Submission deadline : *December 5th, 2012*

    * Notification of acceptance: December 21, 2012

    * Final version: January 2nd, 2013

    * Workshop : January 29th, 2013

 *Submission:*

This workshop invites authors to submit their papers in French or in
English (with an abstract in English in both cases). Papers will not have
to exceed 12 pages (appendices included).

Please comply with EGC'2013 organizers' instructions by using the RNTI
format downloadable at this address: http://www.antsearch.univ-tours.fr/rnti

Each proposal will be evaluated by at least two program committee members.
Selected papers will be orally presented by at least one of the authors (in
French or in English at authors' convenience).

The workshop will start with a presentation of a keynote speaker (to be
announced shortly) and will end with an open discussion regarding open
sources data exploitation.

*Papers should be sent to : sos2013 at weblab-project.org*
