The Semantic Web Science Association (SWSA - http://www.iswsa.org/) is
seeking statements of interest from organizations or consortia
interested in hosting the 10th International Semantic Web
Conference, ISWC 2011.
The Conference Series moves regularly between the Americas, Europe,
and the Asia/Pacific region and we expect that the 2011 edition will
be held in Europe.
Organizations wishing to host ISWC 2011 should contact Prof. Enrico
Motta (e.motta@open.ac.uk), the SWSA member who is co-ordinating the
bidding process for ISWC 2011.
The process comprises two stages.
During the first stage, statements of interest are solicited through
an open call. The relevant form is available at

Once the first phase is complete, SWSA will shortlist a number of
applications, who will be invited to submit a full proposal, using the
form available at http://www.iswsa.org/SWSA-ISWC-Conf-App-Form.pdf and
the budget template available at
