CfP: 3rd International Workshop on Human Semantic Web Interaction (HSWI)

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

3rd International Workshop on

Human Semantic Web Interaction (HSWI)

http://hswi.referata.com/wiki/HSWI2015


co-located with the Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC)

http://2015.eswc-conferences.org/


Submission deadline: March 6th, 2015

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


To advance and consolidate the development of Semantic Web (SW) 
technologies and applications, a strong interdisciplinary approach is 
required. Amongst others, SW technologies imply new challenges for user 
interaction- and especially end user interaction- beyond those already 
posed by Web technologies and interactive systems in general.

The HSWI workshop aims to explore and evaluate good practices in 
interface design, and ultimately feed into possible recommendations for 
standardizing and consolidating knowledge and good practices into a set 
of guidelines for semantic web developers, to ensure the usability and 
reasonably functional user experiences of the next generation of 
Semantic Web applications.

The workshop invites papers on approaches, methods, evaluations, case 
studies, and lessons learned on topics such as:


  *

    Visualization in semantic interfaces

  *

    Natural language interfaces to the Semantic Web

  *

    Semantic Web applications and tools addressing the needs of end
    users, both for creating and consuming Semantic Web data

  *

    New interaction techniques for the semantic web (e.g., gesture- and
    touch-based interaction with the Semantic Web, mind-web interfaces,
    etc.)

  *

    Models for specifying structure and behavior of Semantic Web interfaces

  *

    Sensemaking

  *

    Semantic search interfaces

  *

    Semantic applications on mobile devices, taking into account
    on-board sensors

  *

    Using Semantic Web technologies in user interfaces of existing systems

  *

    User studies and evaluations of Semantic Web interfaces and applications


TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS:

For providing a forum for sharing novel ideas, HSWI welcomes a broad 
spectrum of contributions, including:

  *

    Full research papers

  *

    Position papers, work in progress reports

  *

    Case studies

  *

    Descriptions of experiments
