[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. Papers must be formatted according to the Springer LNCS format, and must not exceed fifteen (15) pages in length. Submissions must be in PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format) format. Papers that exceed 15 pages, do not follow the LNCS guidelines, or are submitted in a format other than PDF risk being rejected automatically without review. Submission and reviewing for ESWC 2009 will be conducted electronically via the conference submissions site -- details to follow. Papers accepted to the Semantic Web In Use Track will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, as part of the ESWC2009 Proceedings. Authors of accepted papers will be required to provide semantic annotations of their submission -- details of this process will be provided on the conference Web site at the time of notification of acceptance. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference. ------------------- TRACK CHAIRS ------------------- - Tom Heath, Talis, UK (firstname.surname@talis.com) - Eero Hyvönen, Helsinki University of Technology, FI (firstname.surname@tkk.fi) ------------------------------ FURTHER INFORMATION ------------------------------ - http://www.eswc2009.org/ -- Tom Heath Researcher Platform Group Talis Information Ltd T: 0870 400 5000 W: http://www.talis.com/
