[Just a quick reminder as the deadline draws near - apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ----------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS ----------------------- SEMANTIC WEB IN USE TRACK 6th European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC2009) 31 May - 4 June 2009 Heraklion, Crete, Greece Submission Deadline: December 15, 2008 (11:59 pm Hawaii time) http://www.eswc2009.org/calls/semantic-web-in-use ------------- OVERVIEW ------------- Submissions are invited to the Semantic Web In Use Track at the 6th European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC2009), in Heraklion, Crete. This refereed track aims to explore the benefits of applying Semantic Web technology in real-life applications and contexts, and therefore the emphasis of contributions to this track should be different to that of submissions to the scientific track of ESWC2009. While papers submitted to the scientific track may provide evidence of scientific contribution through applications and evaluations (see 4. and 5. of the conference Topics of Interest), papers submitted to the Semantic Web In Use Track should be organised around some of or all of the following aspects: - Description of concrete problems in specific application domains, for which Semantic Web technologies can provide a solution. - Description of an implemented application of Semantic Web technologies in a specific domain - Assessment of the pros and cons of using Semantic Web technologies to solve a particular business problem in a specific domain - Comparison with alternative or competing approaches using conventional or competing technologies - Assessment of the costs and benefits of the application of Semantic Web Technologies, e.g. time spent on implementation and deployment, efforts involved, user acceptance, returns on investment - Evidence of deployment of the application, and assessment/evaluation of usage/uptake. ------------------------ IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------ - Submission Deadline: December 15, 2008 (11:59 pm Hawaii time) - Notification of Acceptance: February 23, 2009 - Camera-Ready Paper Deadline: March 09, 2009 ------------------- SUBMISSIONS ------------------- Submissions to the Semantic Web In Use Track must follow the same guidelines as for the ESWC2009 scientific track.
