>> >> (APOLOGIES IF YOU RECEIVE THIS MORE THAN ONCE) >> >> >>PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS >> >> >> 3rd International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2004) >> Sunday, November 7 -- Thursday, November 11, 2004 >> Hiroshima Prince Hotel, Hiroshima, Japan >> http://iswc2004.semanticweb.org/ >> >> >> >>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 to 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 organizing committee solicits research submissions for the main >> >> >research > > >>track of the conference, as well as for the accompanying industrial and >>posters track: >>- research track (http://iswc2004.semanticweb.org/CF/researchTrack.php) >>- industrial track (http://iswc2004.semanticweb.org/CF/industrialTrack.php) >>- posters track (http://iswc2004.semanticweb.org/CF/posterTrack.php) >> >>ISWC2004 also encourages the submission of proposals for workshops and >>tutorials, and system demonstrations. Please see the ISWC2004 Web site for >>pertinent details. >> >> >>RESEARCH TRACK SUBMISSIONS >>-------------------------- >>The research track of ISWC2004 solicits the submission of original, >>principled >>research papers dealing with theoretical, methodological, empirical and >>application-related aspects of the Semantic Web. Papers must clearly >>demonstrate relevance to the Semantic Web. Topics include but are not >>limited to the following: >> >>- Languages, Tools and Methodologies for Semantic Web Data >>- Ontologies (creation, merging, linking and reconciliation) >>- Large Scale Knowledge Management >>- Data Semantics >>- Database Technologies for the Semantic Web >>- Semantic Web Middleware >>- Knowledge Portals >>- Tools and Methodologies for Web Agents >>- Peer to Peer Systems >>- Semantic Brokering >>- Semantic Integration and Interoperability >>- Semantic Web Mining >>- Semantic Web Services (description, discovery, invocation, >>composition) >>- Semantic Web Inference Schemes >>- Semantic Web Trust, Privacy, Security and Intellectual Property >>Rights >>- Semantic Web for e-Business and e-Learning >>- Searching, Querying and Viewing the Semantic Web >>- User Interfaces >>- Visualization and Modelling >> >> >>INDUSTRIAL TRACK SUBMISSIONS >>---------------------------- >>The industrial track of ISWC2004 invites the submission of original papers >>describing industrial advances in semantic technologies. The goals of the >>track are to help researchers understand the current status and needs of >>industry, as well as to allow industry to communicate recent advances. >> >>Papers must be designated as belonging to one of the following three broad >>areas: >> >>- Deployed applications, demonstrating the application of Semantic Web >> technologies to real-world problems and assessing their impact >>- Industrialization of technology, demonstrating successful efforts at an >> industrial scale on productization of research results and assessing >> >> >their > > >> competitiveness and/or potential >>- Industrial innovations, describing novel applications of new capabilities >> and deployment plans in an industrial setting >> >>Please consult the Industrial Track Web page for further information. >>(http://iswc2004.semanticweb.org/CF/industrialTrack.php) >> >> >>POSTER TRACK SUBMISSIONS >>------------------------ >>To accommodate late-breaking results and work in progress, the poster track >>of ISWC2004 solicits contribution of poster submissions. Accepted posters >>will be presented in a separate plenary poster session during the >> >> >conference > > >>and poster summaries will be distributed to conference attendees and >>published on the Web. >> >>Please consult the Poster Track Web page for further information. >>(http://iswc2004.semanticweb.org/CF/posterTrack.php) >> >> >>IMPORTANT DATES >>--------------- >>Paper titles & abstracts - Research & Industrial Tracks: April 13 >>Paper submission - Research & Industrial Tracks: April 16 >>Acceptance notification - Research & Industrial Tracks: June 14 >>Camera-ready papers - Research & Industrial Tracks: September 6 >>Poster summary submissions - Poster Track: June 28 >>Poster acceptance notification: September 6 >>Camera-ready poster summaries - Poster Track: September 20 >> >>The deadlines for submissions are strict: no extensions will be given. >> >> >>SUBMISSION DETAILS >>------------------ >>Research and industrial track papers must be submitted electronically via >>the >>ISWC2004 Web page at http://iswc2004.semanticweb.org/.
