Apologizes for multiple posts
-------------

Dear all,
the 3rd Semantic Web Applications and Perspective Workshop (
http://www.swapconf.it/2006 ) is going to be held Dec 18-20

The list of accepted papers is now available at
http://www.swapconf.it/2006/papers.php .

The tutorials (18th) have been finalized:
*  Aldo Gangemi - "Introduction to Ontologies and Ontology Design Patterns"
*  Pavel Shvaiko - "Ontology Matching, a Comprehensive Survey"
*  Dario Cerizza - "Semantic Web Services e SOA"

Invited talk:
* Pascal Hitzler - "Towards subsymbolic methods for semantic knowledge"

If you need more reasons to start the seasonal holidays a bit earlier
and participate to the event :-), here is a few:

* An extraordinary location
    SWAP will take place at Palazzo della Carovana, Scuola Normale
Superiore - PISA
    http://www.sns.it/en/scuola/luoghi/palazzodellacarovana/
    http://www.comune.pisa.it/turismo/itinerari/pzza_cavalieri.htm
    and btw, Pisa is Ryanair connected.

* A special time of the year. Pisa is a world renown beauty, and it is
especially so this time of the year, with its seasonal lighting and
Christmas markets

* An agile program, with shorter presentations, and a rich poster
session where paper presenters also have demonstration space

* A minimal registration fee (just 50! but register soon. 100 on site)
thanks to sponsors and volunteers
