CALL FOR POSTERS
DEADLINE: MONDAY JULY 12
3rd International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2004)
Sunday, November 7 -- Thursday, November 11, 2004
Hiroshima Prince Hotel, Hiroshima, Japan
http://iswc2004.semanticweb.org/
The vision of the Semantic Web is to make the contents of the Web
unambiguously computer interpretable, enabling automation of a diversity of
tasks currently performed by human beings. The goal of providing semantics
and automated reasoning capabilities for the Web draws upon research in a
broad range of areas including Artificial Intelligence, Databases, Software
Engineering, Distributed Computing and Information Systems. Contributions
to date have included languages for semantic annotation of Web documents,
automated reasoning capabilities for Web languages, ontologies, query and
view languages, semantic translation of Web contents, semantic integration
middleware, technologies and principles for building multi-agent and Grid
systems, semantic interoperation of programs and devices, technologies and
principles for describing, searching and composing Web Services, and more.
The 3rd International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2004) follows on the
success of previous conferences and workshops in
Sanibel Island, USA in 2003 (http://iswc2003.semanticweb.org),
Sardinia, Italy in 2002 (http://iswc2002.semanticweb.org), and
Stanford, USA in 2001 (http://www.semanticweb.org/SWWS/).
The conference comprises a research track, an industrial track and a poster
track, as well as exhibitions, demos and other events. Deadlines for
submissions of research and indutrial track papers has already passed.
The organizing committee now solicits submission for the ISWC2004 poster
track. Details of the solicitation can be found at:
http://iswc2004.semanticweb.org/CF/posters.php
POSTER TRACK SUBMISSIONS
--------------------------
The Poster Session at ISWC2004 is an opportunity for presenting late-
breaking results, ongoing research projects, speculative or innovative work-
in-progress. Posters are intended to provide authors and participants with
the ability to connect with each other and to engage in discussions about
the work. Technical posters, reports on Semantic Web software systems,
completed work, or work in progress are all welcome.
Posters are very appropriate for material which is not yet ready for a full
paper submission.
Authors submit a two page summary or extended abstracts for evaluation. This
MUST clearly demonstrate a relevance to the Semantic Web. Submissions will
be evaluated for acceptability by the reviewers. Decisions about acceptance
will be based on relevance to the Semantic Web, originality, potential
significance, topicality and clarity.
Authors of full papers may submit poster summaries that emphasize "where
next" with the research presented in the full paper. Such submissions can be
made before or after notification concerning the related full paper, and are
welcome whether the full paper is accepted or rejected. Rejected full papers
will not automatically be considered for the poster track; a separate poster
submission must be made.
Each poster summary will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers
from the Program Committee and the Industrial Track Committee. Any
additional reviewers will be listed here.
At least one of the poster authors must be present at the conference, and
attend the poster session. Posters are intended to convey a scientific
result or work-in-progress and are not intended as advertisements for
software packages.
The summaries of accepted posters will be given to all conference attendees
and published on the conference web site. They will not be included in the
proceedings.
Topics for posters include but are not limited to the following:
- Languages, Tools and Methodologies for Semantic Web Data
- Ontologies (creation, merging, linking and reconciliation)
- Large Scale Knowledge Management
- Data Semantics
- Database Technologies for the Semantic Web
- Semantic Web Middleware
- Knowledge Portals
- Tools and Methodologies for Web Agents
- Peer to Peer Systems
- Semantic Brokering
- Semantic Integration and Interoperability
- Semantic Web Mining
- Semantic Web Services (description, discovery, invocation, composition)
- Semantic Web Inference Schemes
- Semantic Web Trust, Privacy, Security and Intellectual Property Rights
- Semantic Web for e-Business and e-Learning
- Searching, Querying and Viewing the Semantic Web
- User Interfaces
- Visualization and Modelling
IMPORTANT DATES (revised)
