******************************************************** Call for Papers: Semantic Web in Use 10th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2011) http://iswc2011.semanticweb.org/calls/semantic-web-in-use/ October 23 - 27, 2011 Bonn, Germany ******************************************************** Semantic technologies continue to make the transition from research labs into mainstream adoption. The In-Use track at ISWC 2011 provides a forum for the community to explore the benefits and challenges of applying semantic technology in real-life applications and contexts, such as industry, science, society, or government. Submissions to the ISWC In-Use track may employ scientific methods (qualitative and/or quantitative) to understand in greater detail the deployment of semantic technologies (online or offline), or present novel practical approaches that are relevant to the deployment of semantics but may not otherwise gain an outlet in the ISWC series. Papers will be evaluated on how the use of semantic technologies impacts and provides utility to a distributed base of users. Accepted papers will be distributed to conference attendees and also published by Springer in the printed conference proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper there. ==================== Important Dates ==================== Submissions Due: June 23, 2011 (11:59pm Hawaii time) Notification: August 8, 2011 Camera-ready: August 28, 2011 ==================== Topics of Interest ==================== We invite the submission of original papers organized around some of the following aspects: - Description and analysis of concrete problems and user requirements in specific domains, for which semantic technologies can provide a solution - Description of implementation and use of semantic applications in a specific domain - Analysis and evaluation of usability and uptake of Semantic Web tools and technologies - Assessment of the pros and cons of using semantic technologies to solve a particular and practical problem - Pragmatics of using or deploying Semantic Web technologies in real-world scenarios - Comparison with alternative approaches that use conventional or competing technologies - Learned lessons and best practices from deploying and using an application or service based on Semantic Web technologies - Assessment of costs and benefits of implementing, deploying, using, and managing Semantic Web technologies - Analysis of risks and opportunities of using Semantic Web technologies in organizations with respect to their businesses and customers The Semantic Web In-use papers will be evaluated on their relevance to the track, rigor in the methodology and analysis used to reach conclusions, originality, readability, and usefulness to developers, researchers, and practitioners. ==================== Submission Details ==================== Submissions and reviewing will be handled using a reviewing system. Details will be announced soon. Submissions must be in PDF. Submissions must be formatted in the style of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Submissions must be no longer than 16 pages. Papers that exceed this limit will be rejected without review. For details on the LNCS style, see Springer's Author Instructions at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0 Authors of accepted papers will be required to provide semantic annotations for the abstract of their submission, which will be made available on the conference web site. Details will be provided at the time of acceptance. ISWC 2011 will not accept papers to the Semantic Web In-Use track that, at the time of submission, are under review for or have already been published in or accepted for publication in a journal or another conference. The conference organizers may share information on submissions with other venues to ensure that this rule is not violated. Authors of papers submitted to the ISWC In-Use track (whether accepted or not) are encouraged to also consider submitting their work to the ISWC 2011 Poster and Demo track and/or to the Semantic Web Challenge, where appropriate. Please note that such submissions must be made separately to In-Use track submissions and must adhere strictly to the submission requirements for these tracks. ==================== Semantic Web in Use Chairs ==================== Harith Alani, KMi, Open University, UK Jamie Taylor, Google
