About
The 2nd International Conference on Web Intelligence, Mining and Semantics (WIMS'12) is organised under the auspices of University of Craiova. The site for the previous edition, WIMS'11, can be found here.
This is the second in a new series of conferences concerned with intelligent approaches to transform the World Wide Web into a global reasoning and semantics-driven computing machine. Then next conference in this series, WIMS'13 will take place in Madrid (Spain).

Keynote Speakers
“Closing” Some Doors for the Open Semantic Web
Jeff Z. Pan is a Senior Lecturer and the Deputy Director of Research of the Department of Computing Science at University of Aberdeen. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Manchester in 2004. His research focuses primarily on knowledge representation and the Semantic Web, in particular on scalable ontology reasoning, querying and reuse, and their applications (such as those using Linked Data). He has over 100 refereed publications on related topics. He is a key contributor to the W3C OWL2 standard and leads the work of the TrOWL Tractable OWL2 reasoning infrastructure (http://trowl.eu/). He is on the Editorial Board on leading Semantic Web journals, such as the Journal of Web Semantics (JWS) and the International Journal on Semantic Web and Information Systems (IJSWIS). He was a Program Chair of the International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule System (RR2007), of the Joint International Semantic Technology Conference (JIST2011), and of the Doctoral Consortiums in the 9th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2010) and in the 8th Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC2011).
Crowdsourcing Semantic Data Management: Challenges and Opportunities
Elena Simperl is assistant professor at the Institute of Applied Informatics and Formal Description Methods (AIFB) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). She holds a PhD in Computer Science from the Free University of Berlin and a Diploma in Computer Science from the Technical University of Munich. and has held research and teaching positions at the Technical University of Munich (2002-2003), the Free University of Berlin (2003-2007), and the Semantic Technology Institute (STI) Innsbruck at the University of Innsbruck, Austria (2007-2009) before joining KIT in January 2010. Elena has been working as a Semantic Web researcher for almost a decade, being involved in over 15 European and national projects in the field, authoring over 75 publications, and serving as chair to several relevant scientific conferences. She is the coordinator of the EU FP7 research project INSEMTIVES, which studies the characteristics and realization of incentives-compatible semantic applications with the help of social computing techniques, user-centered design, mechanism design and game mechanics, as well as of the EU FP7 projects RENDER and PlanetData.
