ISWC2010

Submissions are invited for ISWC 2010, the Ninth International Semantic Web Conference, to be held November 7-11, 2010, in Shanghai, China. Accepted submissions will be distributed in electronic form to attendees of the conference; accepted research papers will also be published by Springer-Verlag. At least one author of each accepted submission must attend the conference and present the work.

Further, up-to-date information is available at http://iswc2010.semanticweb.org

[edit] Workshop Proposals

ISWC workshops are smaller, less formal settings for the presentation and discussion of ongoing work related to the Semantic Web. Workshop proposals will be primarily evaluated on the interest of the workshop to a viable fraction of the Semantic Web community.

• Proposals Due May 7, 2010
• Notification May 28, 2010
• Calls Out June 11, 2010

[edit] Tutorial Proposals

ISWC tutorials should teach students, researchers, and others about particular topics related to the Semantic Web. Tutorial proposals will be primarily evaluated on the interest of the tutorial to a viable fraction of the Semantic Web community.

• Proposals Due May 14, 2010
• Notification May 28, 2010

[edit] Research Papers

Research papers must describe original, significant research on the Semantic Web or on Semantic Web technologies or systems. Authors of accepted papers may submit an accompanying poster or demo (see below). Note that abstracts must be submitted one week before the due date for submissions.

• Abstracts Due June 21, 2010
• Submissions Due June 28, 2010
• Notification August 16, 2010

[edit] Semantic Web in Use

In-use papers must present implemented Semantic Web applications or discuss or evaluate the use of Semantic Web techniques or use of other technologies in the Semantic Web. Of particular interest are comparisons between different technologies or approaches and lessons learned from applications. Papers on the use of the Semantic Web in China are specially welcome.

• Submissions Due June 28, 2010
• Notification August 16, 2010

[edit] Doctoral Consortium

The Doctoral Consortium is designed to allow doctoral students to present their work to members of the Semantic Web community and receive feedback on their research. Submissions to the Doctoral Consortium must describe work performed as part of an ongoing PhD degree.

• Submissions Due June 28, 2010
• Notification August 16, 2010

[edit] Posters and Demos

Posters must describe original research on the Semantic Web or on Semantic Web technologies or systems. Posters can present preliminary results or describe work still in progress. System demonstrations must present a novel hardware or software system of interest in the Semantic Web. Poster submissions and system demonstrations can overlap the work described in other kinds of submissions.

• Submissions Due August 23, 2010
• Notification September 13, 2010

[edit] Industry Talks

Industry talks provide an opportunity to present technical information about Semantic Web products and services. Submissions (abstracts only) will be primarily evaluated based on relevance to the Semantic Web, interest to conference attendees, technical depth and business applicability. Marketing and sales material will not be considered.

• Submissions Due September 7, 2010
• Notification September 21, 2010

[edit] Semantic Web Challenge

The Semantic Web Challenge is the premier event for demonstrating practical progress towards achieving the vision of the Semantic Web. This year's 8th edition of the challenge will consist of two tracks: the open track and the billion triples track. The winners in both categories will be selected and announced at the conference.
