Research Association of the Ceramic Industry ITC

Castellón, Spain

The annual Scientific Seminary was an extraordinary opportunity to dynamize scientific networks within Eliare Network Sudoe as proven in the first two ENS scientific seminars (Limoges 2009 and Madrid 2010)

The methodology of 3rd Eliare Network Sudoe Scientific Seminar “Forging wining proposals for FP7/CIP” was based on target workshops (WS). In fact, around 2 workshops were organised for each ENS thematic.

To improve seminar’s efficiency, the Scientific Networks coordinators proposed a new methodology based on a previous topic detection work to be done by each partner. This methodology was agreed by all partners. The detection requires a joint work with the research community in every university so as to map the interest of researchers on topics published in the WP 2012 drafts concerning the 4 ENS thematic areas (ICT, NMP, Environment and Health)

Scientific Networks coordinators -in collaboration with the partners involved- compiled and selected the most potential topics for each thematic area in order to prepare efficient and successful workshops in Castellón. To increase the dynamism of these scientific meetings, each workshop in Castellón was led by a scientific animator (coordinator if possible), a scientific expert (NCP or experienced researcher) and a project manager

Intermediate meetings between researchers were also planned to be organized before and after the 3rd Scientific Seminar so as to deepen the scientific debates and strengthen the management of the consortiums in order to build winning proposals for FP7 and CIP calls

Recent work on link mining and social networks has led to a convergence of methodologies for network modeling, incorporating classification, learning and reasoning with graphical models, frequent subgraph mining, relational representation, and link prediction, among other techniques. Many intelligent systems applications to information extraction, web search, and recommendation call for inferences to be made regarding the existence, type, or attributes of links. Some tasks, such as question answering using information networks, may require that inferences be based upon partial link information and made under uncertainty about participating entities and relationships.

The emphasis of this workshop shall be approaches based on relationship extraction from heterogeneous sources such as technical literature, news articles, social network profile data, and social media. Relevant media include, but are not limited to, forums, blogs, microblogging mechanisms such as Twitter and status updates, podcasts, video, and systems for rating and commenting. However, the scope is not limited to any particular approach to link analysis or any source of network information such as text corpora. Application areas that often exhibit a need for link analysis include:

* Bioinformatics and biomedicine: computational genomics, drug interaction, protein-protein interaction * Content-management systems: version control, wikification * Information security:attack graphs, information flow, mechanism design, trust networks * Knowledge and information management: data fusion, information integration, source attribution * Recommender systems for social networks:communities, experts, friends, products, reviewers, service providers * Spatiotemporal reasoning:epidemiology, link formation, meme propagation
