----------------------------------------------------------

This year's edition of the HSWI workshopwill feature a *demo jam 
session*. If you have an interesting user interface to the semantic web 
and/or linked open data, or a user interface that makes use of semantic 
web data, you are welcome to show it in a short, informal demo.

The rules are as follows:
* you bring the demo running on your own laptop
* demos will be shown in a plenary setting
* you are only allowed to show an actual system (i.e., no slides)
* you have a maximum of 5 minutes
* there may or may not be internet access (so having a local fallback is 
a good idea)

The goal is to provide a setting where you can discuss your ideas and 
facilitate exchange about current issues that exist in the field of 
human semantic web interaction.

There will be *no formal review process*. If you are interested to show 
your demo, please enter your data in the following Google Doc:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Kvq41YpM-9U5wjewOjcNIt2J45oQQyrrhjeMaVx8tSk/edit?usp=sharing

In case there are more people interested than we have space, the 
organizers reserve the right to pick the ones which look the most 
interesting to them.

The topics of HSWI include, but are not limited to:

* Semantic Web applications and tools addressing the needs of end users, 
both for creating and consuming Semantic Web data
* Requirements for supporting the design and implementation of user 
interfaces for semantic applications
* Natural Language Interfaces
* Interaction styles and requirements, including new/emergent types of 
interactions
* Models for specifying structure and behavior of semantic interfaces
* Lessons learned from developing, evaluating and using semantic interfaces
* Defining Semantic Interfaces: concepts, requirements
* Literature reviews and methodologies in the scope of Human-Semantic 
Web Interaction
* Stakeholders perspectives
* Sensemaking
* Semantic search interfaces
* Use Cases/Case Studies, best practices, evaluations
* New web based interaction technologies (Gesture, Touch, Mind-Web 
Interfaces, etc.)UI/UX
* Paradigms for semantic applications on mobile devices, taking into 
account on-board sensors (think: SIRI/Google Now on steroids)
* Visualization in semantic interfaces
