>The  vision of  the  Semantic  Web  is  to make  the  contents of  the  Web
>unambiguously computer interpretable, enabling automation of a diversity of
>tasks currently performed by human beings.  The goal of providing semantics
>and automated reasoning capabilities  for the Web draws upon research  in a
>broad range of areas including Artificial Intelligence, Databases, Software
>Engineering, Distributed Computing  and Information Systems.  Contributions
>to date have included languages  for semantic annotation  of Web documents,
>automated reasoning capabilities  for Web languages,  ontologies, query and
>view languages,  semantic translation of Web contents, semantic integration
>middleware,  technologies and principles for building multi-agent  and Grid
>systems, semantic interoperation of programs and devices,  technologies and
>principles for describing,  searching and composing Web Services,  and more.
>
>The 3rd  International  Semantic  Web  Conference (ISWC2004) follows on the
>success of previous conferences and workshops in
>   Sanibel Island, USA in 2003 (http://iswc2003.semanticweb.org),
>   Sardinia, Italy in 2002     (http://iswc2002.semanticweb.org), and
>   Stanford, USA in 2001       (http://www.semanticweb.org/SWWS/).
>
>The conference comprises a research track, an industrial track and a poster
>track, as well as exhibitions, demos and other events.  Deadlines for
>submissions of research and indutrial track papers has already passed.
>
>The organizing committee now solicits submission for the ISWC2004 poster
>track.  Details of the solicitation can be found at:

>POSTER TRACK SUBMISSIONS
>--------------------------
>The  Poster  Session  at  ISWC2004  is  an  opportunity for presenting late-
>breaking results, ongoing research projects, speculative or innovative work-
>in-progress.  Posters are intended to provide authors  and participants with
>the ability  to connect  with each other  and to engage in discussions about
>the work.  Technical  posters,  reports on  Semantic Web  software  systems,
>completed work, or work in progress are all welcome.
>
>Posters are very appropriate for material  which is not yet ready for a full
>paper submission.
>
>Authors submit a two page summary or extended abstracts for evaluation. This
>MUST clearly demonstrate a relevance  to the Semantic Web.  Submissions will
>be evaluated for acceptability by the reviewers.  Decisions about acceptance
>will  be  based  on  relevance  to the Semantic Web, originality,  potential
>significance, topicality and clarity.
>
>Authors of full papers  may submit poster summaries  that  emphasize  "where
>next" with the research presented in the full paper. Such submissions can be
>made before or after notification concerning the related full paper, and are
>welcome whether the full paper is accepted or rejected. Rejected full papers
>will not automatically be considered for the poster track; a separate poster
>submission must be made.
>
>Each poster summary  will be reviewed by  at least two independent reviewers
>from the Program Committee and the Industrial Track Committee. Any
>additional reviewers will be listed here.
>
>At least  one of the poster authors  must be present  at the conference, and
>attend  the poster session.  Posters are intended  to  convey  a  scientific
>result or work-in-progress  and  are  not  intended  as  advertisements  for
>software packages.
>
>The summaries of accepted posters  will be given to all conference attendees
>and published on the conference web site.  They will not be included in the
>proceedings.
