Guest Editor: Brian Harrington Semantic Computing (SC) is defined as “Computing with (machine processable) Descriptions of Content and Intentions.” It brings together those disciplines concerned with connecting the (often vaguely formulated) intentions of humans with computational content that includes, but is not limited to, structured and semi-structured data, multimedia data, text, programs, services and, even, network behavior. The International Journal of Semantic Computing (IJSC) addresses the computing technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence, natural language, software engineering, data and knowledge engineering, computer systems, signal processing, etc.), and their interactions, that may be used to extract or process computational content and descriptions. While some areas of Semantic Computing have appeared as isolated pieces in journals dedicated to individual disciplines, IJSC is a journal that glues these pieces together into an integrated theme with synergetic interactions. It addresses not only the analysis and transformation of signals (e.g., pixels, words) into useful information, but also how such information can be synthesized and accessed. IJSC publishes regular papers, review papers, case studies, tutorials, communications, book reviews, conference reports, industry trends, and product reviews.

The availability of large amounts of semantic knowledge has allowed for great progress in the field of Semantic Computing, however the best ways in which to organise and represent that knowledge is still very much an open issue. In this special issue of the International Journal of Semantic Computing, we will focus on novel and interesting methodologies for representing semantic knowledge, particularly those that are, or show promise to be, extensible to information from a variety of sources.

Final Versions Due:
