1. Call for Papers: Posters & Demos Track
================================================
The ISWC 2018 Posters and Demonstrations complement the paper tracks of the
conference and offer an opportunity for presenting late-breaking research
results, on-going research projects, and speculative or innovative work in
progress. The informal setting of the Posters and Demonstrations encourages
presenters and participants to engage in discussions about the 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; the
In-Use Track; and the Resource Track. Technical posters, reports on
Semantic Web software systems (free or commercial), descriptions of
completed work, and work in progress are all welcome. Demonstrations are
intended to showcase innovative Semantic Web related implementations and
technologies, both in academia and in industry.

2. Call for Papers: Blue Sky Ideas
==========================================
The Blue Sky Ideas is back to ISWC! Similarly, as in 2011, this track is
sponsored by the prestigious CCC Blue Sky ideas and solicits visionary
ideas, long term challenges, and opportunities in the semantic web research
that are outside of the current topics in the field and are not mature or
specific enough to be accepted in the regular research track. The
contributions should find the right arguments to convince that the proposed
topic is promising and should relate the talk as much as possible to the
existing literature from relevant fields, possibly also fields outside the
Semantic Web Community.

3. Call for Papers: Industry Track
==========================================
The industry track seeks to present the state of adoption of semantic
technologies in industrial settings. Semantics is used in applications in
many industries, including media, financials, telecommunications,
healthcare, life sciences, government, intelligence, smart cities, and
cultural heritage. It enables applications capabilities as varied as
business intelligence, analytics, search, content management, knowledge
management, recommendation systems, information extraction and data
integration.

We encourage results and ideas from companies large and small. We welcome
contributions about success stories as well as experience reports and
discussions of obstacles that stand in the way of large-scale adoption of
semantic technologies.
