****** About the Conference ******

STIDS is a premier opportunity for collaboration and cross-fertilization
between researchers and practitioners of semantic-based technology with
particular experience in the  problems facing the Intelligence, Defense,
and Security communities. Each year a conference theme is selected for
special attention, especially in selection of Keynote Speakers. STIDS 2015
will offer presentations of original, peer-reviewed research, as well as
invited talks from prominent semantic technology researchers and recognized
leaders from the target application domains. This year’s theme is Semantics
in Cyber-Physical Systems.

The main Conference will take place on November 19–20, preceeded by a
Tutorials day on Wednesday, November 18.  The Conference and Tutorials
venue is Dewberry Hall, in the Johnson Center, at George Mason University
in Fairfax, Virginia. A classified session will be held on November 17, at
