Deadline April 15! Call for Workshop Proposals: ISWC 2011

Hi everybody,


Apologies for cross-postings. Just a quick reminder that the workshop
proposals are due in 10 days: April 15!

********************************************************
Call for Workshop Proposals
10th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2011)
http://iswc2011.semanticweb.org/calls/workshops/
October 23 - 27, 2011
Bonn, Germany
********************************************************

Besides the main technical programme, ISWC will host a number of
workshops on topics related to the general theme of the conference.
The role of the workshops is to provide a platform for a more
intensive scientific exchange amongst researchers interested in a
particular topic and as a meeting point for the community. The
workshops should provide the opportunity to present and discuss
ongoing work and new ideas in subfield of Semantic Web research.

In order to meet these goals, workshops should address topics that
satisfy the following criteria:
- the topic falls in the general scope of ISWC 2011
- there is a clear focus on a specific technology, problem or application
- there is a sufficiently large community interested in the topic

In particular, we encourage the submission of workshop proposals on:
- fundamental problems of the semantic web such as heterogeneity,
- scalability and distribution
- applications of Semantic Web technologies in specific domains
- important enabling technologies and their adaptation to the needs of
the Semantic Web
- aspects of semantic web research that have been neglected so far

Proposers of accepted workshops have to prepare a workshop webpage
containing a call for papers and detailed information about the
workshop organization and timelines by May 27th. The organizers of
successful workshops will be responsible for their own reviewing
process, for publicity (e.g., website), and for publishing electronic
proceedings (e.g., on the CEUR-WS website). They will be required to
closely cooperate with the Workshops Chairs and the ISWC 2011 local
organizers to finalize all details mentioned here.
