======================= CALL FOR PAPERS ===================================

            Engineered Applications of Semantic Web
                            SWEA
              http://sisinflab.poliba.it/kes2006/

                  INVITED SESSION at the
             10th International Conference on Knowledge-Based & Intelligent
Information & Engineering Systems
                       	  KES 2006
             http://kes2006.kesinternational.org/


Since the cornerstone article "The Semantic Web" by Tim Berners-Lee, James
Hendler and Ora Lassila, thanks to the conjunction of both academic and
industrial efforts, many theoretical results have been produced, languages and
technologies implemented, frameworks proposed and scenarios hypothesized in
order to go from a "web of links" towards a "web of meaning". In spite of an
initial skepticism about the Semantic Web initiative, promising prototypes and
tools have been developed, both exploiting and boosting Semantic Web
technologies.
Relevant applications and scenarios include, among others:

 - semantic matchmakers
 - semantic web portals
 - semantic social networking
 - semantic web services
 - ontology mappers and mergers
 - ontology browsers
 - e-science
 - e-business
 - e-commerce, e-negotiation, e-marketplace
 - e-learning
 - semantic based multimedia sources categorization and classification
 - supply chain management
 - semantic-based user interfaces
 - PIM, user profiling
 - mobile computing
 - ubiquitous computing

The aim of this KES'06 session is to gather researchers from various fields in
order to present the most prominent engineered prototypes and tools
successfully exploiting semantic web technologies and approaches. They must be
able either to solve issues that would be unfeasible / much harder without
semantics or to help the development and circulation of Semantic Web related
technologies as well as to be reused in different contexts (not necessarily the
web).



Papers are invited from authors with interests on the indicated scope and
related areas of application. The conference proceedings will be published by
Springer-Verlag
(http://www.springer.com/) in Lecture Notes in AI as part of the LNCS/LNAI
(http://www.springer.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,1-164-2-73659-0,00.html)
series.
When formatting papers, please refer to the Springer-Verlag web site, and
strictly follow the Instructions to LNCS Authors
(http://www.springer.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,5-164-2-72376-0,00.html).
Please note that the required paper length is eight pages in Springer format.
Papers longer than this will be subject to a penalty charge. Papers very much
longer or shorter than the required length may be rejected.

To ensure high quality, all papers will be thoroughly reviewed by the SWEA
Programme Committee. Papers may be rejected without being sent to the reviewers
if they are too long. Papers may be rejected without being reviewed if it is
judged that they do not lie sufficiently within the scope of the conference.
All papers for KES2006 must be submitted in electronic form using the PROSE
software review system (http://kes2006.kesinternational.org/proselogin.php).

All accepted papers must be presented by one of the authors who must register
for the conference and pay the fee. Authors are not encouraged to submit
multiple papers, and authors will be restricted to one paper per registration.

Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in the
KES Journal (International Journal of Knowledge-Based and Intelligent
Engineering
Systems) published by IOS Press (http://www.kesinternational.org/journal).
