                   The 12th International Semantic Web Conference
                         21-15 October 2013, Sydney, Australia

              Submission deadline: July 14, 2013, 11:59pm Hawaii time
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ISWC 2012 Posters and Demonstrations Track complements the Research
Paper track of the conference and offers an opportunity for presenting
late-breaking research results, ongoing research projects, and
speculative or innovative work in progress. The informal setting of the
Posters and Demonstrations Track encourages presenters and participants
to engage in discussions about the presented work. Such discussions can
be invaluable inputs for the future work of the presenters, while
offering participants an effective way to broaden their knowledge of the
emerging research trends and to network with other researchers.

We invite submissions relevant to the area of the Semantic Web and which
address, but are not limited to, the topics of the Research Track and
the Semantic Web In Use Track. Technical posters, reports on Semantic
Web software systems, descriptions of completed work, and work in
progress are all welcome. Demonstrations are intended to showcase
innovative Semantic Web related implementations and technologies. All
submissions are intended to convey a scientific result or work in
progress and should not be advertisements for commercial software packages.

Authors of full papers accepted for the Research and In Use tracks are
explicitly invited to submit a poster or a demonstration. The submission
should be formatted as the other posters and demonstrations but must
cite the accepted full paper and needs to include an explanation of its
added value with respect to the conference paper. The added value could
include: a) extended results and experiments not presented in the
conference paper for space reasons, or b) a demonstration of a
supporting prototype implementation.

Submission Information
----------------------

Authors must submit a four-page extended abstract for evaluation. All
submissions will undergo a common review process, including those
related to already accepted full papers. Decisions about acceptance will
be based on relevance to the Semantic Web, originality, potential
significance, topicality and clarity. For demonstrations, authors are
strongly encouraged to include in their submission a link to where the
demo (live or recorded video) can be found. They should also make clear
what exactly will be demonstrated to the participants (e.g., what data
sets will be used, which functionalities will be shown).

All papers and abstracts have to be submitted electronically via the
EasyChair conference submission system
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iswc2013pd

Submissions must use the PDF file format and must adopt the style of the
Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS). Details are provided on Springer's Author Instructions page.
Submissions that exceed the page limit will be rejected without review.

At least one of the authors must be a registered participant at the
conference, and attend the Poster/Demo Session to present the work. The
abstracts of accepted posters and demonstrations will be given to all
conference attendees and published on the conference web site, but will
not be published by Springer in the printed conference proceedings.
There will, however, be compiled into a CEUR-WS Proceedings for easy Web
retrieval and archival.

Metadata for all successful submissions will be included in the
conference metadata corpus. Detailed information about metadata creation
will be provided with the acceptance notification of the successful
submissions.
