CALL FOR PAPERS †
3RD INTERDISCIPLINARY ONTOLOGY CONFERENCE, Tokyo, Japan
February 27 to 28, 2010
The increasingly important role played by ontology in addressing the data integration needs of government, science and industry has brought a growing interest in the foundations, methods, tools and resources of ontology research and applications. The goal of the Interdisciplinary Ontology Conference of the Japanese Center for Ontological Research (JCOR) is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and state-of-the-art technologies for those working in the ontology domain from around the world. The conference is co-sponsored by the Japanese Government’s Ministry of Education and Science (MEXT) under the framework of the Open Research Center on Logic and Formal Ontology of Keio University, and by the US National Center for Ontological Research (NCOR) and the International Association for Ontology and Its Applications (IAOA). It features a special session on Biomedical Ontology, jointly organized with the (US) National Center for Biomedical Ontology.
Disciplines represented include computer science, logic and philosophy, as well as a variety of application domains. The conference consists of invited lectures and sessions consisting of peer reviewed papers. All papers will be included in the on-site volume of Proceedings, which will also be distributed as a post-conference publication.
Papers may address a wide variety of issues relating to ontology and its applications. Papers should be at most 12 pages long (including figures and references) employing the Springer LNCS style (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0). Shorter submissions are welcome. Submission instructions along with registration and logistics information will appear at the conference website http://abelard.flet.keio.ac.jp/io10/

Additional Information: †
Hotel Recommendation †
We suggest the Shinagawa Prince Hotel or an annex of Shinagawa Prince Tower (the Prince Hotel chains) located near JR-Shinagawa Station. There is a variety of room charge levels at the Shinagawa Prince Hotel and the Shinagawa Prince Tower. There is a direct Airport Limousine Bus from Narita-Tokyo Airport to the hotel. (The exit of the airport customs faces the Airport Limousine bus ticket counters, which are just next door to the bus stop from Narita - Tokyo Airport to the hotel As an alternative you could take JR-Narita Express train from the airport to JR-Shinagawa station; the Shinagawa Prince hotel is located a few minutes walking distance from the exit of JR Shinagawa Station. In either case it takes around 90 minutes to reach the centre of Tokyo. If the hotel is fully booked and you cannot get your reservation successfully, you could also try the Shinagawa Pacific Hotel, Takanawa Prince Hotel or Shinagawa Keikyu Hotel, which are located near the Shinagawa Prince and JR Shinagawa Station. For room reservation and access to the hotel, click and check: http://www.princehotelsjapan.com/ShinagawaPrinceHotel/index.asp
The Shinagawa Prince Hotel is a middle class hotel in Tokyo, and a single charge will be 14,000 yen - 24,000 yen per night. For two person use the rate could be double, since Japanese hotel rates depend on the number of persons per room; please check the price list carefully.
Conference Site from Shinagawa Prince Hotel or JR Shinagawa station †
The conference will be held at the EAST BUILDING of the Mita Campus in Keio University. (Note that there are several campuses of Keio University.) You could either take a cab for 10 minutes (around 1,000 yen or 7 Euros) or, take a local train from JR Shinagawa to JR Tamachi (Tamachi is the next stop of Shinagawa) which takes 5 minutes train and 5 minutes walk. Please see the access map for the campus location.
