Keynote I - The Application of Grammar Inference to Software Language Engineering
(Marjan Mernik from University of Maribor, Slovenia )

There are many problems whose solutions take the form of patterns that may be expressed using grammars (e.g., speech recognition, text processing, genetic sequencing, programming language development, etc.). Construction of these grammars is usually carried out by computer scientists working with domain experts. Grammar inference (GI) is the process of learning a grammar from examples, either positive (i.e., the pattern should be recognized by the grammar) and/or negative (i.e., the pattern should not be recognized by the grammar). This talk will present the application of grammar inference to software language engineering, including recovery of domain-specific language (DSL) specifications from example DSL programs and recovery of a meta model from instance models which have evolved independently of the original meta model. Recent advances in semantic inference will be presented as well.

About Marjan Mernik: Received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from the University of Maribor in 1994 and 1998, respectively. He is currently Professor of Computer Science at the University of Maribor, Slovenia. He is also Visiting Professor of Computer and Information Sciences at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and at the University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Technical Sciences, Serbia. His research interests include programming languages, compilers, domain-specific (modeling) languages, grammar-based systems, grammatical inference, and evolutionary computations. He is a member of the IEEE, ACM, EAPLS, and the Editor-In-Chief of Computer Languages, Systems and Structures journal, as well as the Associate Editor of Applied Soft Computing journal.

Keynote II - The role of ontologies in machine-machine communication
(Asunción Gómez from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain)

In this talk I will analyse how the use of ontologies have evolved during the last two decades, moving from the notion of a shared understanding of a particular domain being used to communicate humans with computers towards a key modelling component that allows machine-machine communication and negotiation across different domains and spoken languages.

About Asunción Gómez: Prof. Dr. Asunción Gómez-Pérez is Full Professor at the Univ. Politécnica de Madrid. She is the Director of the Artificial Intelligence Department (2008) and Director or the OEG at UPM (1995). Her main research areas are: Ontological Engineering, Semantic Web and Knowledge Management. She led at UPM the following EU projects: Ontoweb, Esperonto, Knowledge Web, NeOn, SEEMP, OntoGrid, ADMIRE, DynaLearn, SemSorGrid4Env, SEALS and MONNET. She coordinated OntoGrid and now she is coordinating SemSorGrid4Env and SEALS. She is also leading at UPM projects funded by Spanish agencies. The most relevants are: España Vitual, WEBn+1, GeoBuddies and the Spanish network on Semantic Web. She has published more than 150 papers and she is author of one book on Ontological Engineering and co-author of a book on Knowledge Engineering. She has been co-director of the summer school on Ontological Engineering and the Semantic Web since 2003 up to now. She was program chair of ASWC'09, ESWC'05 and EKAW'02 and co-organiser of many workshops on ontologies.
