A few weeks ago, the 18th International Semantic Web Conference took place in Auckland, New Zealand. A delegation of DDIS visited the conference and made some valuable contributions to the conference. A little overview of our work:
On Saturday the 26th of October, Prof. Abraham Bernstein and Dr. Daniele Dell’Aglio ran a tutorial on Blockchain and Semantic web in collaboration with the University of Southampton and the Open University.
Romana Pernischová presented her work at the doctoral consortium on Sunday: ‘The Butterfly Effect in Knowledge Graphs: Predicting the Impact of Changes in the Evolving Web of Data’. At the same doctoral consortium, Daniele participated in a panel on ‘AI knocked to the Industry’s Door: Which is the Role of the PhD?’.
On Monday, Romana presented her poster ‘Toward Predicting Impact of Changes in Evolving Knowledge Graphs’ at the minute madness, and went on to present her poster at the welcome reception. This poster was declared the winner of best poster award.
Prof. Bernstein had a busy day on Tuesday: he was both track and session chair of the ‘Outrageous idea’ track, as well as chair on the panel ‘How to make Semantic Web Research /Outrageous/?’
On the final day of the conference, Daniele chaired the Linked Data analytics and dynamics session. Finally, Daniele was also recognized as a distinguished reviewer in the research track. Overall, it was a very productive and successful event and we look forward to next year’s edition.
