Call for Presenation: Industry Track - 10th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2011)

***************************************
Call for Presentations: Industry Track
10th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2011)
http://iswc2011.semanticweb.org/calls/industry-track/
October 23 - 27, 2011
Bonn, Germany
********************************************************

The International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2011), the world’s leading
Semantic Web research conference, is hosting an Industry Track to invite the
business community to present products and services that leverage Semantic
Web technologies and/or enrich the Semantic Web ecosystem. The International
Semantic Web Conference  is the premiere networking conference for the
professional and academic research community. Industry Track demonstrates
the most recent evolution of Semantic Web technologies and applications
development & research to a wider audience. We invite industry vendors to
submit short proposals for this track. No formal paper is required. While
such presentations can focus on vendor-branded products and services, we
seek to allow vendors to (1) give more in-depth technical discussion about
the specific aspects of Semantic Web technologies in their products and
services; (2) explain how their products and services are helping transition
clients into Semantic Web efforts; and (3) describe the innovative plans for
their products and services that lead to the adoption of Semantic Web
standards.

The key dates for the Call for Presentations are close to the conference
date to encourage vendors to include last-minute updates and innovations of
general interest to ISWC 2011 attendees. We provide a world class venue for
companies who might otherwise not submit a formal paper to ISWC, but
nevertheless have valuable insights and engineering acumen regarding various
Semantic Web technologies and their applicability.

===================
Submissions and Format
===================

Authors must submit a presentation for consideration. We recommend that each
submission also includes an abstract of a maximum of 200 words. Submissions
will be reviewed by members of the program committee. Decisions for
acceptance will be based on relevance to the Semantic Web, technical depth,
and business applicability. Marketing and sales material will not be
considered.

Submissions should be in one of the following formats:

HTML
PDF
PowerPoint (PPT)
Digital Video

While it is difficult to handle the entire range of presentation
technologies, we are willing to negotiate accommodations if one of the above
formats is not suitable. If your technology is not listed and is critical to
your presentation, please contact the Industry Track chair. Submissions
should also include presentation needs (e.g. projector, Internet
connectivity). You may submit hyperlinks to your presentation, but if you
require Internet access for your presentation, please submit a backup final
presentation in the unlikely event of connection problems.

Presentations are expected to be either 15 or 30 minutes with 10 minutes for
questions. A presentation may be mixed media (any of the above formats) and
include demonstrations, but must adhere to the 15 or 30 minute limit.

Please note that metadata about all successful submissions will be included
in the conference metadata corpus and made publicly available at
http://data.semanticweb.org. Detailed information will be provided with the
acceptance notification.

Please submit presentations at the ISWC 2011 Industry Track submission page.
