The Joint International Semantic Technology Conference (JIST) is a regional
federation of Semantic Technology related conferences. The mission of JIST
is to bring together researchers in Semantic Technology research community
and other areas of semantic related technologies to present their
innovative research results or novel applications of semantic technologies.

JIST 2014, under the theme "Open Data and Semantic Technology", solicits
the submission of original research papers on Semantic Web and other
semantic technologies, as well as papers on applications of semantic
technologies.

* Submission

Submissions to JIST 2014 should describe original, significant research on
the semantic technologies. Submissions to JIST 2014 are expected to present
their claimed contribution, with clear evidence to support their claims.
All submissions will be critically reviewed by at least three members of
the program committee. To assess submissions, reviewers will judge their
relevance to semantic technologies, their originality, the technical
soundness of their proposed approach and the readability of the submission.

Submissions must be in PDF format, using the style of the Springer
Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
Submissions must be no longer than *16* pages for REGULAR TECHNICAL
SESSIONS and *6* pages for IN-USE TRACK. Accepted papers will be published
in LNCS as a post-proceeding (wait for confirmation).

Submissions that exceed this limit may be rejected without review. JIST
2014 will not accept submissions that are under review for or have already
been published in or accepted for publication in a journal or another
conference. All submissions must be submitted via the EasyChair system at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jist2014

Selected papers from the main conference and workshops will be invited to
extend the work for submission to a special issue of the Maejo
International Journal of Science and Technology (MIJST). (ISI Impact
Factor: 0.456 (2012), SJR: 0.255 (2012))
