Re: 1st CfP: Workshop on Human-Semantic Web Interaction (HSWI’14) at ESWC2014

sorry I need to correct/change my statement below

realistically I don't think I manage a paper :-)
cause I have 3 more deadlines and lots of travel this month!
but I can co-author a paper should anyone be working on something related
to this group's activities/plans

>> 2nd International Workshop on Human Semantic Web Interaction (HSWI 2014)
>> in conjunction with the 11th Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2014)
>>
>> 26th May 2014, Crete, Greece

>> OBJECTIVES:
>>
>> "A key innovation opportunity in the Semantic Web is making it easier for
>> end users to produce, share, and consume structured data [...] We have to
>> study end users to understand their needs, build tools to meet those needs,
>> and assess how those tools work for them."
>>  - David Karger, from his keynote at ESWC 2013 -
>>
>> To advance and consolidate the development of Semantic Web (SW)
>> technologies and applications, a strong interdisciplinary approach is
>> required. Amongst others, SW technologies imply new challenges for user
>> interaction - and especially end user interaction - beyond those already
>> posed by Web technologies and interactive systems in general. Some of the
>> challenges to Semantic Web Interfaces are:
>>
>> * SW technologies provide a new set of innovative functionalities, which
>> require equally innovative interfaces to be enjoyed
>> * Interfaces are required for datasets of which the schemas are not yet
>> fully known at design time
>> * UIs for datasets where there is as much information in the links
>> between the resources as in the resources themselves
>> * Interfaces need to be able to deal with different levels of granularity
>> of data and information.
>> * UIs for information that is automatically derived from potentially
>> incomplete and imperfect data
>> * Control over data/information delivery, due to size and complexity of
>> data sources
>>
>> The HSWI workshop aims to explore and evaluate good practices in
>> interface design, and ultimately feed into possible recommendations for
>> standardizing and consolidating knowledge and good practices into a set of
>> guidelines for semantic web developers, to ensure the usability and
>> reasonably functional user experiences of the next generation of Semantic
>> Web applications.
>>
>> The workshop addresses researchers and practitioners from the fields of
>> human computer interaction, as well as researchers from the Semantic Web
>> community applying such techniques to the Semantic Web and Linked Data. The
>> goal of the workshop is to provide a platform for knowledge exchange
>> between the different research communities, and to foster future
>> collaborations.
>>
>>
>> TOPICS OF INTEREST:
>>
>> The workshop invites papers on approaches, methods, evaluations, case
>> studies, and lessons learned on topics such as:
>>
>> * Visualization in semantic interfaces
>> * Natural language interfaces to the Semantic Web
>> * Semantic Web applications and tools addressing the needs of end users,
>> both for creating and consuming Semantic Web data
>> * New interaction techniques for the semantic web (e.g., gesture- and
>> touch-based interaction with the Semantic Web, mind-web interfaces, etc.)
>> * Models for specifying structure and behavior of Semantic Web interfaces
>> * Sensemaking
>> * Semantic search interfaces
>> * Semantic applications on mobile devices, taking into account on-board
>> sensors
>> * Using Semantic Web technologies in user interfaces of existing systems
>> * User studies and evaluations of Semantic Web interfaces and applications
>>
>>
>> TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS:
>>
>> For providing a forum for sharing novel ideas, HSWI welcomes a broad
>> spectrum of contributions, including:
>>

>> * Position papers
>> * Case Studies
>> * Descriptions of Experiments
