Call for Papers
International Semantic Web Workshop (SWWS)
"Infrastructure and Applications
for the Semantic Web"
http://www.SemanticWeb.org/SWWS
in cooperation with the OntoWeb network
supported in part by the National Science Foundation (application pending)
in cooperation with DARPA DAML
in cooperation with ICCS 2001 and DL 2001
Stanford, CA, USA
July 30-31 2001
Call for Papers:
The Semantic Web is a vision: the idea of having data on the Web
defined and linked in a way that it can be used by machines not just
for display purposes,
but for automation, integration and reuse of data across various
applications. In order to make this vision a reality for the Web,
supporting standards,
technologies and policies must be designed to enable machines to make
more sense of the Web, with the result of making the Web more useful
for humans.
Facilities and technologies to put machine-understandable data on the
Web are rapidly becoming a high priority for many communities. For
the Web to
scale, programs must be able to share and process data even when
these programs have been designed totally independently. The Web can
reach its full
potential only if it becomes a place where data can be shared and
processed by automated tools as well as by people.
On the technology side, Web-enabled languages and technologies are
being developed (e.g. RDF-Schema, DAML+OIL, DAML-Rules, Rule-ML),
schema
and ontology integration techniques are being examined and refined
and Web Services Integration Standards are being defined (e.g. UDDI,
JINI). The
success of the Semantic Web will depend on a widespread adoption of
these technologies. The workshop is dedicated to groups willing to
contribute to the
Semantic Web. Its expected outcome is a better common knowledge and
synergy, of those wishing to develop new exciting basic technology and
applications for the Semantic Web. It should guide the future
coallitions for enabling future standard to be adopted worldwide. We
thus solicit contributions
to the foregoing Semantic Web infrastructure and content as well as
contributions about innovative applications taking advantage of this
infrastructure.
These application proposals are also expected to provide requirements
for the core technology developers and standardization efforts.
Suggested topics include:
Searching the Semantic Web
Use of Semantic Web Languages and XML/RDF Infrastructure
Metadata and Ontologies
Semantic Web for e-learning and e-science (molecular data, geographic
information systems, and digital libraries)
Semantic Web for e-business and Large-scale Knowledge Management
Semantic Web and Mobile, Situated and Diffuse Computing
Semantic Web and Multimedia Data
Knowledge Portals
Agent Communication and Applications in the Semantic Web
Semantic Web Bootstrapping and Growth Models
Technological Requirements for Semantic Web Applications
Schedule
Submission deadline: April 15th, 2001
Notification of acceptance: May 15th, 2001
Camera (Web)-ready: June 15th, 2001
Workshop: July 30th-July 31st, 2001
Submission Format
Contributions are invited in the form of a full paper (max. 20
pages). The title page should include name, affiliation, and e-mail
address of the contributor.
Papers will be judged on their contribution to the discussion, and
some will be selected for presentation. Papers have to be submitted
electronically (in
HTML or PDF) to Jérôme Euzenat (Email:
Jerome.Euzenat@inrialpes.fr). Further publication in a Journal is
under negotiation.
