ISWC 2014 - 13th International Semantic Web Conference 2014

ISWC is the premier venue for presenting innovative systems and research results related to the Semantic Web and Linked Data. We solicit the submission of original research papers for ISWC 2014's research track, dealing with analytical, theoretical, empirical, and practical aspects of all areas of the Semantic Web. Submissions to the research track should describe original, significant research on the Semantic Web or on Semantic Web technologies, and are expected to provide some principled means of evaluation.

Call for in Use Track Papers
Semantic technologies and Linked Data are an increasingly a major component of deployed applications. The In-Use track at ISWC 2014 provides a forum for the community to explore the benefits and challenges of applying semantic technologies and data in real-life applications and contexts ranging from industry to government and science. Importantly, we encourage submissions that combine any form of semantic technologies and the Web. For example, submissions that demonstrate how Web data can be used with techniques such as statistical data mining, machine learning or NLP in applications.

Call for Replication, Benchmark and Data Track Papers
Science, to a large degree can be likened to building a house of ideas on the foundations laid by others. In some scientific disciplines the laying of foundations is explicitly seen as part of the innovative activity of the discipline. In the Semantic Web and Linked Data field there has been a bias towards presenting novel ideas in research papers. The goal of the Replication, Benchmark and Data Track is to cater the reviewing and paper evaluation process towards the specific needs of papers that make useful contributions without proving a hypothesis or making a novel contribution.

Call for Tutorial Proposals
In addition to the regular program, ISWC’14 will feature a tutorial program which addresses the interests of its varied audience: Semantic Web practitioners that wish to learn new technologies, novices to the Semantic Web interested in introductory tutorials to key Semantic Web/Linked Data topics, government and industry representatives focusing on the applicability of Semantic Web/Linked Data technologies in practical settings.

Call for Workshop Proposals
In addition to the regular program, ISWC’14 will feature a workshop program that will cover a number of specific topics related to the general theme of the conference. The role of the workshops is to provide a context for a focused and intensive scientific exchange among researchers interested in a particular topic. As such, workshops are the primary venues for the exploration of emerging ideas

Call for Poster and Demo Proposals
The ISWC 2014 Posters and Demonstrations Track complements the Research Paper track of the conference and offers an opportunity for presenting late-breaking research results, ongoing research projects, and speculative or innovative work in progress. The informal setting of the Posters and Demonstrations Track encourages presenters and participants to engage in discussions about the presented work. Such discussions can be invaluable inputs for the future work of the presenters, while offering participants an effective way to broaden their knowledge of the emerging research trends and to network with other researchers.

Call for Doctoral Consortium Papers
The ISWC 2014 Doctoral Consortium will provide PhD students an opportunity to share and develop their research ideas in a critical but supportive environment, to get feedback from mentors who are senior members of the Semantic Web research community, to explore issues related to academic and research careers, and to build relationships with other Semantic Web PhD students from around the world. The Consortium aims to broaden the perspectives and to improve the research and communication skills of these students. The Doctoral Consortium is intended for students who have a specific research proposal and some preliminary results, but who have sufficient time prior to completing their dissertation to benefit from the consortium experience. Generally, students in their second or third year of PhD will benefit the most from the Doctoral Consortium. In the Consortium, the students will present their proposals and get specific feedback and advice on how to improve their research plan.
