ICSC 2012: Call for Workshop Proposals

------------- Apologies for multiple cross-postings ---------------------

CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

The Sixth IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing (ICSC2012) 
continues to foster the growth of a new research community. The 
conference builds on the success of the past ICSC conferences as an 
international forum for researchers and practitioners to present 
research that advances the state of the art and practice of Semantic 
Computing, as well as identifying emerging research topics and defining 
the future of the field. The event is located in Palermo, Italy on the 
Piazza borsa hotel. The technical program of ICSC2012 includes 
workshops, invited keynotes, paper presentations, panel discussions, 
industrial "show and tells", demonstrations, and more. Submissions of 
high-quality papers describing mature results or on-going work are invited.

The main goal of the conference is to foster the dialog between experts 
in each sub-discipline. Therefore we especially encourage submissions of 
work that is interesting to multiple areas, such as multimodal approaches.
