****** About the Conference ******

STIDS is a premier opportunity for collaboration and cross-fertilization
between
researchers and practitioners of semantic-based technology with particular
experience in the problems facing the Intelligence, Defense, and Security
communities. Each year a conference theme is selected for special
attention, especially in selection of Keynote Speakers. STIDS 2015 will
offer
 presentations of original, peer-reviewed research, as well as invited
talks from
prominent semantic technology researchers and recognized leaders from the
target application domains. This year’s theme is Semantics in Cyber-Physical
Systems.

The main Conference will take place on November 19–20, preceeded by a
Tutorials day on Wednesday, November 18.  The Conference and Tutorials
