The Third International Workshop on Semantic Computing and

Knowledge Creation based on Needs Engineering

(SCKNE 2018)

 

Chairman

Prof. Cristiane Chaves Gattaz, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas, USA (cristiane.gattaz@gmail.com)

 

Overview

Semantic interoperability, ubiquitous computing, enterprise integration and business convergence by competence sharing are some of the main problems faced in industry today. All of these topics have been addressed in a uni-disciplinary approach, which has the advantage of leading to focused disciplinary progress. However, it also leaves unexplored solutions that can only be arrived upon by collaborators with diverse expertise, coming together in a multi and interdisciplinary approaches. This workshop is intended to bring together researchers, practitioners and domain experts, sharing the latest advances in the state of the art and practice for transdisciplinary problem solving with multi-criteria measurement, to address the challenges in needs engineering. It will provide a unique forum for discussion on integrated frameworks considering business ontologies, IoT understanding, value based process technologies, big data analysis and architectures, machine learning, deep learning and all legacy dependent systems.
