[CfP] ISWC 2019 - **One day left** to participate in the ISWC Reproducibility Initiative + more ISWC info

18th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2019)
“Knowledge Graphs, Linked Data, Linked Schemas and AI on the Web”
Auckland, New Zealand, 26-30 October, 2019
https://iswc2019.semanticweb.org/

The International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) is the premier venue for
presenting fundamental research, innovative technology, and applications
concerning semantics, data, and the Web. It is the most important
international venue to discuss and present latest advances and applications
of the semantic Web, knowledge graphs, linked data, ontologies and
artificial intelligence (AI) on the Web.

ISWC attracts a large number of high quality submissions every year and
participants from both industry and academia. ISWC brings together
researchers from different areas, such as artificial intelligence,
databases, natural language processing, information systems, human computer
interaction, information retrieval, web science, etc., who investigate,
develop and use novel methods and technologies for accessing, interpreting
and using information on the Web in a more effective way.

* The ISWC Reproducibility Initiative is running for the first time and
will evaluate submissions from the accepted papers of the ISWC **Research
Track**.


1. Call for participation in the ISWC Reproducibility Initiative
*******************************************
Many papers submitted to ISWC provide a very strong evaluation. Other
researchers willing to build on top of these results often have a hard time
to continue the work because the results in the paper are difficult to
reproduce. Hence, as an author of a research track paper, we would like to
invite you to submit your contribution to the Reproducibility Initiative.

The ISWC Reproducibility Initiative has the following goals:
 - To enable easy sharing of code and experimentation set-ups (take a paper
and reuse it).
 - To make more code and data available.
 - To highlight the impact and increase the credibility of the Semantic Web
research.
 - To facilitate the dissemination of research results.
 - We would like to build a culture where sharing results, code, and
scripts is the norm rather than an exception.

The challenge is to do this efficiently, which means building technical
expertise on how to do better research via creating repeatable and
shareable methods and results.

Considering reproducibility as a goal, the assessment of papers will
consider a spectrum varying from:
 - Basic availability of source code and data
 - Fully reproducible results given that the data, source code, and
documentation are made available.

The Reproducibility Initiative is open to the accepted papers of the ISWC
Research Track that have some significant experimental results that are
prone to be reproducible. For the reproducibility assessment, a member of
the Programme Committee will interact with the authors to check the
availability of the data, source code, documentation, configuration
requirements and reproduce the most important results of the paper.
