*** First Call for Posters and Demonstrations -- ISWC-2015 ***

The ISWC 2015 Posters and Demonstrations Track complements the Research
Paper track of the conference and offers an opportunity for presenting
late-breaking research results, on-going 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; the
Evaluation & experiments 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 Track; Replication,
Benchmark and Data Track; and Semantic Web In Use Track 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=iswc2015pd (TO BE CONFIRMED)

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. 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. They 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.

Important Dates
- Poster & Demo Submission: July 10, 2015
- Notifications: July 31, 2015
- Camera-Ready Versions: August 21, 2015
