Fifth Workshop on Industrial and Business Applications of Semantic Technologies and Knowledge-based information systems (INBAST 2016)

Several types of semantic technologies and knowledge-based systems have been developed in the last decades and nowadays are being implemented in different industrial and business systems in order to provide software tools and methods that allow the management of knowledge and structured information in a more intelligent manner. Knowledge in information systems is becoming more and more crucial because the domains of software applications are inherently knowledge-intensive. These applications require storing, understanding, managing and reasoning about that knowledge and structured information from different domains. Academia and Industry have realized that the Semantic and Knowledge-based technologies are crucial to help solve important challenges in organizations as the integration and interoperability of intra and inter business processes.

This type of technology draws on standard and novel techniques from various disciplines within Computer Science, including Knowledge Engineering, Natural Language Processing, Artificial Intelligence, Databases and Software Agents. The methods and tools developed and integrated for this purpose are generic and have a very large application potential in many fields like Information Retrieval, Semantic Searches, Information Integration, Information Interoperability, Bioinformatics, eHealth, eLearning, Automation Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, eCommerce, eGovernment, or Social Networks, among others.

The goal of the workshop is the feasibility of investigating advanced Semantic and Knowledge-based methods and techniques and their application in different domains.
