KWEPSY2007 is the Knowledge Web PhD Symposium 2007, co-located with the 4th Annual European Semantic Web Conference [ESWC2007] in Innsbruck, Austria.

Contents

[edit] Executive Summary

The Knowledge Web PhD Symposium aims at bringing together doctoral students within the Semantic Web community to open their work up to discussion in a European forum, and to obtain valuable feedback from leading scientists in the field. However, in contrast with other similar initiatives, participants to the symposium will not only receive constructive comments with respect to topic-specific research issues; they will also be assisted in formulating a coherent research narrative for their doctoral work. In particular, students will be asked to submit an extended abstract, structured in accordance to a pre-defined template, which has been designed to highlight the key methodological components required for a sound research narrative. Generally speaking, priority will be given to 1st/2nd year PhD students (because they are still in the process of defining the scope of their research). However, all PhD students are welcome and encouraged to apply.

Just as in 2006 [KWEPSY 2006], the 2nd Symposium will be co-located with the 4th Annual European Semantic Web Conference [ESWC2007]. It is scheduled for the 6th of June 2007.

[edit] Call for Contributions

Though organized under the umbrella of Knowledge Web [main Web page], the symposium is open to all PhD students carrying out research on topics related to the Semantic Web. The applicants are required to send an extended abstract of their doctoral work, which should address the following aspects:

Papers should not exceed 5 pages. They should be formatted according to the [Springer LNCS] format and submitted as PDF documents per mail to simperl at inf.fu-berlin.de. Applicants should also specify how long they have worked on their doctoral work.

All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the scientific advisory board. The submissions will be reviewed against the following criteria (in this order):

The selected participants will be given the opportunity to open their work up to discussion in front of other students and an expert audience (either in a regular presentation session or in a poster session). Each accepted contribution will be assigned to a scientific advisor who will provide extended feedback to the presented research achievements and to the accuracy of the applied methodology. A template for structuring the paper presentations will be be provided after the final program of the symposium has been set up. In addition to full papers, a limited number of papers will be accepted as posters, for which the authors will be required to submit a 2 page version of the original submission due to the camera-ready deadline.

For accepted submissions (full papers and posters), at least one author must register for the symposium in order for the paper to appear in the proceedings and to be scheduled in the program. Accepted papers and posters will be published online at CEUR Workshop Proceedings.


[edit] Accepted Papers and Posters

We received 55 submissions, from which 12 have been accepted as full papers and 17 as posters.

[edit] Symposium Program

The symposium is scheduled as a full-day event on June, 6 09:00 - 18:00. It will consist of full paper presentations and a poster session. Each full paper will be presented in a talk of 25 minutes (15 minutes presentation, 10 minutes discussion). In order to give time for discussions and feedback we recommend each presenter to seriously consider the 15 minutes time frame allocated for the talk (between 8-12 slides). As a general template for the presentations the speakers could use the following structure:



[edit] Best paper award

From the accepted full papers mentioned above the following three have been selected as best paper candidates based on the recommendations of the reviewers:

The best paper award was sponsored by the BIT Joint School for Information Technology and was won by Anne Schlicht from the University of Mannheim. Congratulations on behalf of the organizers and the scientific advisors!
