The ISWC2005 Program Committee invites proposals for the Workshop Program of ISWC2005, the Fourth International Semantic Web Conference, to be held November 6-10, 2005, in Galway, Ireland. Workshops will be held on Monday, November 7, 2005. Details of the Call for Workshop Proposals are available at: http://iswc2005.semanticweb.org/W_CallForWorkshops.html The purpose of the workshops is to provide an informal setting for workshop participants to discuss technical issues, to exchange research ideas, and to develop a community in the quickly emerging field of the Semantic Web. Workshop proposals should address current issues related to the Semantic Web that will benefit from small-group information exchange and discussion. Workshops are intended to be genuine interactive events and not mini-conferences. We expect to have a wide range of workshops, including those that - focus on fundamental research issues, - bring together researchers from different disciplines, - support the interaction of research and industry for the deployment of Semantic Web applications. Workshops can vary in length from a half day to a full day. We strongly advise having more than one organizer, bringing different perspectives to the workshop topic. Workshop attendees must pay the ISWC2005 workshop registration fee, as well as the conference registration fee. Please submit an informal letter expressing your intent to propose a workshop and containing the workshop title, topics, and a list of organizers as early as possible, but no later than March 4th, 2005. This letter is optional but we kindly request the workshop organizers to submit it. Workshop proposals are due on March 18th, 2005. Schedule ------------- March 4, 2005: Intent to propose a workshop due March 18, 2005: Workshop proposals due March 31, 2005: Notification of proposal acceptance April 25, 2005: URL for the workshop web page due October 7, 2005: Electronic version of working notes for the workshop due November 7, 2005: Workshop day November 6-10: ISWC2005 Technical Program. Requirements for Workshop Proposal Submission Workshop proposals should be no more than 3 pages in length, preferably 1-2 pages. They should contain the following information: - The title and brief technical description of the workshop, specifying the goals and the technical issues that it will focus on. - A brief discussion of why the topic is of particular interest at this time. - A brief description of why and to whom the workshop is of interest. - A brief description of the proposed workshop format, discussing the mix of events such as paper presentations, invited talks, panels, and general discussion. - An indication of whether the workshop should be considered for a half-day or full-day meeting. - A list of related workshops or similar events held in the last 3 years, or to be held in 2005. - The names and contact information (web page, email address) of the proposed organizing committee and short description of their relevant experience. This committee should consist of two or three people knowledgeable about the technical issues to be addressed, preferably not coming from the same institution. Submitting a Proposal ------------------------------ To indicate your intent to propose a workshop, please send an email message with no attachments to noy@smi.stanford.edu. Workshop proposals may be submitted in one of the two formats: ASCII text or PDF. Please send your proposals and any inquiries by email to Natasha Noy (noy@smi.stanford.edu)
