8th Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2011)
http://www.eswc2011.org/ [9]
Call for Research Papers
The semantics of content, enriched with domain theories (ontologies), data about systems’ usage, natural language processing, and many other aspects, will enable a qualitatively new level of functionality on the Internet, or any other application environment relying thereupon. It will weave together a large network of human knowledge and make this knowledge machine-processable. Various automated services, based on reasoning with metadata and ontologies, will help the users to achieve their goals by accessing and processing information in machine-understandable form. This network of knowledge systems will ultimately lead to truly intelligent behavior, which will be employed for various complex decision-making tasks. Research on semantic technologies can benefit from ideas and cross-fertilization with many other areas: Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing, Database and Information Systems, Information Retrieval, Multimedia, Distributed Systems, Social Networks, Web Engineering, and Web Science. These complementarities are reflected in the outline of the technical program of the ESWC 2011; in addition to the research and in-use tracks, we have furthermore introduced two special tracks, putting particular emphasis on inter-disciplinary research topics and areas that show the potential of exciting synergies for the future. In 2011 these special tracks focus on data-driven, inductive and probabilistic approaches to managing content and on Digital Libraries, respectively.
ESWC 2011 will present the latest results in research and applications in its field. Besides the technical program organized over twelve tracks, the conference will feature a tutorial program, system descriptions and demos, a posters exhibition, a doctoral symposium, and a number of collocated workshops. The calls for the technical program can be found below.
