Venue: The University of Auckland, New Zealand Date: October 27, 2019 Website: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~consens/blocksw/index.html Twitter: @2019Blocksw ======== Blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) are two emerging technologies with the potential to contribute to semantic web efforts. Blockchains have been used for applications such decentralized finance in such a way that establishes trust without a central authority. Artificial Intelligence has been used for decision making, requiring vast amounts of data affected by privacy and trust requirements. To address these overlapping themes, the BlockSW workshop is open to submissions at the intersection of blockchain, semantic web and AI. Topics of this workshop include (but not limited to) the following: - Blockchain enabled Semantic Web and AI scenarios and applications - Semantic models for forensics, defenses, and countermeasures on blockchain platforms - Blockchain enabled Semantic Web and AI scenarios and applications - Semantic queries and analytics on Blockchains - Semantic smart contracts - Blockchain trust verification models, distributed trust semantics, and integrity proofs for - distributed trust graphs - Anonymity and privacy issues among blockchain participants - Semantic models for legal, ethical, and societal aspects of blockchains applications - Semantics and blockchain governance - Blockchain data provenance - Semantic data mining and knowledge discovery on blockchains - Social aspects of Blockchains and social networking ---------- IMPORTANT DATES - Abstract Deadline (optional): June 21, 2019. - Submission Deadline (extended-firm): July 5, 2019. - Notification of Acceptance: July 24, 2019. - Camera Ready: August 29, 2019. - BlockSW2019 Workshop: The workshop will take place on one of the days morning of October 27, 2019. ---------- SUBMISSION GUIDELINES We welcome the following types of contributions. - Research paper (up to 6 pages) - Position paper (up to 2 pages) For details on the PDF submission format, see Springer's LNCS guidelines: http://www.springer.com/de/it-informatik/lncs/conference-proceedings-guideli nes For HTML submission guidance, see the HTML submission guide of ISWC 2019: https://iswc2019.semanticweb.org/html-submission-guide/ Each submission will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the PC.
