1. Call for Workshops & Tutorials
*******************************************
Besides the main technical program, ISWC will host several workshops on 
topics related to the general theme of the conference. The role of the 
workshops is to provide a setting for focused, intensive scientific 
exchange among researchers and practitioners interested in a specific 
topic. As such, workshops are the primary venues for the exploration of 
emerging ideas as well as for the discussion of novel aspects of 
established research topics.

We invite you to submit a proposal for workshops on a research topic of 
interest to ISWC attendees.

In addition to the regular research and workshop program, ISWC 2021 will 
feature a tutorial program addressing the diverse interests of its 
audience: Semantic Web practitioners that wish to learn about new 
technologies, novices to the Semantic Web interested in introductory 
tutorials to key Semantic Web / Linked Data topics, government and 
industry representatives focusing on the applicability of Semantic Web / 
Linked Data technologies in practical settings.

We hereby invite you to submit a tutorial proposal on a research topic 
relevant to the ISWC 2022 audience.

Topics of interest and further details:

raghava.mutharaju@iiitd.ac.in

2. Call for Semantic Web Challenge
*******************************************
A great way to advance the state of the art in a given domain is to 
create competition. We invite you to propose an ISWC 2022 Challenge, in 
which you define an open competition on a problem of your choice within 
the Semantic Web domain.

Call for Semantic Web Challenge Proposals: 
https://iswc2022.semanticweb.org/index.php/semantic-web-challenge-proposals/

Deadline: Friday, 24th March, 2022, 23:59 AoE (Anywhere on Earth)

- Catia Pesquita,  LASIGE, Faculdade de Ciências, University of Lisbon
clpesquita@fc.ul.pt

- Daniele Dell’Aglio, Aalborg University, Denmark
dade@cs.aau.dk


3. Call for Research papers

*******************************************
The/ research track/ of ISWC 2022 solicits novel and significant 
research contributions addressing theoretical, analytical and empirical 
aspects of the Semantic Web. We welcome work that relates to the W3C 
Semantic Web recommendations (e.g., RDF, OWL, SPARQL, SHACL, etc.) that 
may also lie at the intersection of the Semantic Web and other 
scientific disciplines. Submissions to the research track should 
describe original, significant, and replicable research on the Semantic 
Web.

Topics of interest and further details: 
https://iswc2022.semanticweb.org/index.php/research-track/

Deadline: Friday, 28th April, 2022, 23:59 AoE (Anywhere on Earth)

Track Chairs:
- Aidan Hogan, Department of Computer Science, Universidad de Chile

ahogan@dcc.uchile.cl <mailto:ahogan@dcc.uchile.cl>

- Uli Sattler, Department of Computer Science, University of Manchester
Uli.Sattler@manchester.ac.uk


4. Call for In-Use papers
*******************************************
The track aims to give a stage to solutions for real-world problems in 
which Semantic Web and Knowledge Graph technologies play a crucial role. 
Real-world applications of these technologies in combination with 
machine learning, deep learning and other AI techniques are of 
particular interest.
The In-Use track thus seeks submissions describing applied and validated 
solutions such as software tools, systems or architectures that benefit 
from the use of Semantic Web and Knowledge Graph technologies 
(including, but not limited to, technologies based on the Semantic Web 
standards). Importantly, submitted papers should provide convincing 
evidence of use of the proposed application or tool by the target user 
group, preferably outside the group that conducted the development and, 
more broadly, outside the Semantic Web and Knowledge Graph research 
communities.

Topics of interest and further details: 
https://iswc2022.semanticweb.org/index.php/in-use-track/

Deadline: Friday, 28th April, 2022, 23:59 AoE (Anywhere on Earth)

Track Chairs:
- João Paulo A. Almeida, Federal University of Espírito Santo, Brazil
- Hideaki Takeda, National Institute of Informatics, Japan
Contact: In-UseTrack-iswc2022@easychair.org


5. Call for Resource papers
*******************************************
The ISWC 2022 Resources Track aims to promote the sharing of resources 
which support, enable or utilise semantic web research. Resources 
include, but not restricted to: datasets, ontologies/vocabularies, 
ontology design patterns, evaluation benchmarks or methods, software 
tools/services, APIs and software frameworks, workflows, crowdsourcing 
task designs, protocols, methodologies and metrics, that have 
contributed or may contribute to the generation of novel scientific 
work. In particular, we encourage the sharing of such resources 
following best and well-established practices within the Semantic Web 
community. As such, this track calls for contributions that provide a 
concise and clear description of a resource and its usage.

Topics of interest and further details: 
https://iswc2022.semanticweb.org/index.php/resources-track/

Deadline: Friday, 28th April, 2022, 23:59 AoE (Anywhere on Earth)

Track Chairs:

- Valentina Presutti, LILEC Department, University of Bologna, Italy

6. Call for Doctoral Symposium
*******************************************
The ISWC 2022 Doctoral Consortium (DC) will take place virtually as part 
of the 21st International Semantic Web Conference. This forum will 
provide PhD students an opportunity to:

  * present and discuss their research ideas in a supportive, formative
    and yet critical environment;
  * receive feedback from mentors, typically senior members of the
    Semantic Web research community, and peers;
  * explore career pathways available after completing their PhD degree,
    and finally
  * network and build collaborations with other members of the community.

The event is intended for students who have articulated a reasonably 
detailed research proposal, preferably supported by some preliminary 
results. The aim is to support the students in refining their proposal 
and suggest possible ways to improve their research plan and achieve 
results with prospective greater impact. While doctoral degrees can vary 
in format and conduct, we aim this Call for Papers to PhD candidates who 
will have already partially investigated some specific problems. 
Students will be required to submit a paper to the doctoral consortium, 
structured like a research proposal (see “Submission Details” below). 
All proposals submitted to the Doctoral Consortium will undergo a 
rigorous review process by the International Programme Committee, who 
will provide detailed and constructive feedback and select those 
submissions to be presented at the Doctoral Consortium. If accepted, 
students will have to register and attend the event, which will include 
a range of interactive activities.

Call for Doctoral Consortium Papers: 
https://iswc2022.semanticweb.org/index.php/doctoral-consortium/

Deadline: Friday, 13th May, 2022, 23:59 AoE (Anywhere on Earth)

Track Chairs:

- Olaf Hartig, Linköping University, Sweden
- Oshani Seneviratne, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA
Contact: DoctoralConsortium-iswc2022@easychair.org


2. Call for Posters and Demos
*******************************************
The ISWC 2022 Posters and Demos Track complements the paper tracks of 
the conference by offering an opportunity to present late-breaking 
research results, on-going research or resource projects, and 
speculative or innovative work in progress. The Lightning Talks track 
will be open to all accepted Poster & Demo submissions, while a separate 
call will allow anyone else to submit a presentation proposal to the 
Lightning Track.

The informal setting of the Posters and Demos Track encourages 
presenters and participants to engage in discussions about the 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 emerging research trends and to network with other researchers.

Call for Posters and Demos: 
https://iswc2022.semanticweb.org/index.php/posters-and-demos/

Deadline: Friday, 13th July, 2022, 23:59 AoE (Anywhere on Earth)
