International Journal on Semantic Web and Information Systems Editor-in-Chief: Amit Sheth, Ph.D., University of Georgia, USA and Semagix, Inc., USA Executive Editor: Miltiadis D. Lytras, Academic Research Computer Technology Institute & Computers Engineering and Informatics Department, University of Patras, Greece ISSN: 1552-6283, E-ISSN: 1552-6291 Published: Quarterly Institutional: US $195.00, Individual: US $85.00 Electronic Only: Institutional US $145.00 Key Points: * Communicates high-quality research findings in the leading edge aspects of Semantic Web and Information Systems convergence * Discusses the Semantic Web as an indissoluble whole of new generation of technologies, frameworks, concepts and practices for supporting intelligent, innovative, and effective global and networked information systems * An official publication of the Information Resources Management Association Complimentary Inaugural Issue < http://www.idea-group.com/journals/free.sample.asp?ID=4625> Library Recommendation Form < http://www.idea-group.com/recommend.asp?ID=4625> Description: The International Journal on Semantic Web and Information Systems promotes a knowledge transfer channel where academics, practitioners and researchers can discuss, analyze, criticize, synthesize, communicate, elaborate, and simplify the promising vision of the Semantic Web in the context of information systems. IJSWIS establishes value-adding knowledge transfer and personal development channels in three distinctive areas: academia, industry, and government. Submissions: Interested contributors are asked to submit their manuscripts as an email attachment in Microsoft Word or RTF (Rich Text Format) to mdl@eltrun.gr or lytras@ceid.upatras.g <mailto:lytras@ceid.upatras.gr> r. Very soon an on-line submission system will be available. The main body of the e-mail message should contain the title of the paper and the names and addresses of all authors. Manuscripts must be in English. The author' s name should not be included anywhere in the manuscript, except on the cover page. Manuscripts must also be accompanied by an abstract of 100-150 words, precisely summarizing the mission and object of the manuscript The publisher will publish the journal in both print and electronic formats.
