DESCRIPTION
-------------------

The ISWC 2013 Posters and Demonstrations Track complements the Research
Paper track
of the conference and offers an opportunity for presenting late-breaking
research
results, ongoing research projects, and speculative or innovative work in
progress.
The informal setting of the Posters and Demonstrations Track encourages
presenters and
participants to engage in discussions about the presented work. Such
discussions can
be invaluable inputs for the future work of the presenters, while offering
participants
an effective way to broaden their knowledge of the emerging research trends
and to
network with other researchers.

We invite submissions relevant to the area of the Semantic Web and which
address, but
are not limited to, the topics of the Research Track and the Semantic Web
In Use Track.
Technical posters, reports on Semantic Web software systems, descriptions
of completed
work, and work in progress are all welcome. Demonstrations are intended to
showcase
innovative Semantic Web related implementations and technologies. All
submissions are
intended to convey a scientific result or work in progress and should not
be advertisements
for commercial software packages.

Authors of full papers accepted for the Research and In Use tracks are
explicitly invited
to submit a poster or a demonstration. The submission should be formatted
as the other
posters and demonstrations but must cite the accepted full paper and needs
to include
an explanation of its added value with respect to the conference paper. The
added value
could include: a) extended results and experiments not presented in the
conference paper
for space reasons, or b) a demonstration of a supporting prototype
implementation.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION
--------------------------------------

Authors must submit a four-page extended abstract for evaluation. All
submissions will undergo
a common review process, including those related to already accepted full
papers. Decisions
about acceptance will be based on relevance to the Semantic Web,
originality, potential
significance, topicality and clarity. For demonstrations, authors are
strongly encouraged to
include in their submission a link to where the demo (live or recorded
video) can be found.
They should also make clear what exactly will be demonstrated to the
participants (e.g., what
data sets will be used, which functionalities will be shown).

All papers and abstracts have to be submitted electronically via the
EasyChair conference
submission system:
* https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iswc2013pd

Submissions must use the PDF file format and must adopt the style of the
Springer Publications
format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Details are provided
on Springer's Author
Instructions page (
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). Submissions
that exceed the page limit will be rejected without review.

At least one of the authors must be a registered participant at the
conference, and attend the
Poster/Demo Session to present the work. The abstracts of accepted posters
and demonstrations
will be given to all conference attendees and published on the conference
web site, but will
not be published by Springer in the printed conference proceedings. There
will, however, be
compiled into a CEUR-WS Proceedings for easy Web retrieval and archival.

Metadata for all successful submissions will be included in the conference
metadata corpus.
Detailed information about metadata creation will be provided with the
acceptance notification
of the successful submissions.
