LarKC paper was “wildest idea at ISWC’08″
A nice quote from Orri Erling’s Weblog:
“Our compliments for the wildest idea of the conference go to Eyal Oren, Christophe Guéret, and Stefan Schlobach, et al, for their paper on using genetic algorithms for guessing how variables in a SPARQL query ought to be instantiated. Prisoners of our “conventional wisdom” as we are, this might never have occurred to us.”
