ESWC2011 - FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

*****************************************************

*About ESWC2011*

The mission of the Extended Semantic Web Conference is to bring together
researchers and practitioners dealing with different aspects of semantic
technologies. Following a successful re-launch in 2010 as a multi-track
conference,  ESWC 2011 builds on the success of the former European Semantic
Web Conference series, and seeks to extend its focus by collaborating with
other communities and research areas, in which Web semantics play an
important role, within and outside ICT, and in a truly international, not
just 'European' context.

The semantics of content, enriched with domain ontologies, data about
systems' usage, natural language processing, and many other aspects, will
enable a qualitatively new level of functionality on the Internet, or any
other application environment relying thereupon. It will weave together a
large network of human knowledge, and make this knowledge
machine-processable. Various automated services, based on reasoning over
metadata and ontologies, will help the users to achieve their goals by
accessing and processing information in machine-understandable form. This
network of knowledge-based functionalities will ultimately lead to truly
intelligent behavior, which will be employed for a variety of complex
decision-making tasks. Research on semantic technologies can benefit from
ideas and cross-fertilization with many other areas, including Artificial
Intelligence, Natural Language Processing, Database and Information Systems,
Information Retrieval, Multimedia, Distributed Systems, Social Networks, Web
Engineering, and Web Science.  These complementarities are reflected in the
outline of the technical program of the ESWC 2011; in addition to the
research and in-use tracks, we have furthermore introduced two special
tracks, putting particular emphasis on inter-disciplinary research topics
and areas that show the potential of exciting synergies for the future. In
2011 these special tracks focus on data-driven, inductive and probabilistic
approaches to managing content and on Digital Libraries, respectively. The
calls for the technical program, in particular the topics promoted by each
track, can be found on the conference Web site at:
http://www.eswc2011.org/content/cfp 

Below we list the twelve tracks of the ESWC 2011.

Research tracks:
- Social Web and Web Science 
- Ontologies
- Reasoning
- Semantic Data Management 
- Linked Open Data
- Software, Services, Processes and Cloud Computing
- Natural Language Processing
- Sensor Web 
- Mobile Web

In-use track:
- Semantic Web In-use
- Special tracks 2011
- Data-driven methods
- Digital Libraries

ESWC 2011 will present the latest results in research and applications in
its field. Besides the technical program organized over twelve tracks, the
conference will feature a tutorial program, system descriptions and demos, a
posters exhibition, a doctoral symposium, and a number of collocated
workshops. The individual calls for these events can be found on the
conference Web site (http://www.eswc2011.org/). 
 
*Important Dates* 

- Abstract submission: December 6, 2010 (compulsory) 
- Full-paper submission: December 13, 2010 (11:59 pm Hawaii time) 
- Notification: February 21, 2011 
- Submission of camera-ready version of accepted papers: March 7, 2011
 
*Submission Details*

The proceedings of the conference will be published in Springer's Lecture
Notes in Computer Science series. Paper submission and reviewing will be
electronic, where each track will operate on its own conference management
system instance. For all tracks, papers must not exceed fifteen (15) pages
in length and must be formatted according to the information for LNCS
authors. Papers must be submitted in PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format)
format and will not be accepted in any other format. Papers that exceed 15
pages or do not follow the LNCS guidelines risk being rejected automatically
without a review. Authors of accepted papers might be required to provide
semantic annotations for the abstract of their submission - details of this
process will be provided on the conference Web page at the time of
acceptance. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the
conference in order for the paper to be included in the conference
proceedings.

Each paper must be submitted to the most appropriate of the twelve research
tracks. The program committee might decide to forward a paper to another
track if it better fits the topics there.
