ISWC will be a major international forum at which research on all
aspects of the Semantic Web is presented. ISWC 2002 follows on from
the success of the first Semantic Web Working Symposium (SWWS), which
was held in Stanford in July, 2001 [1]. ISWC 2002 will take place on
the beautiful Mediteranian island of Sardinia [2], Italy, 10th-12th
June, 2002, immediately preceding the OntoWeb workshop [3].
ISWC 2002 invites submissions related to all aspects of the Semantic
Web. Both technical and survey/overview papers are solicited, as well
as descriptions of working Semantic Web systems, position statements
and reports on work in progress.
Topics
------
Papers MUST clearly demonstrate relevance to the Semantic
Web. Suggested topics include but are not limited to:
* Agents
* Applications
* Bootstrapping, growth and economic models
* Database technologies
* Data/Information/Knowledge integration, mediation and storage
* Digital libraries, publishing, and e-Books
* e-business and large-scale knowledge management
* e-learning=20
* e-science and the Grid
* Knowledge portals
* Knowledge representation and reasoning
* Languages and infrastructure
* Metadata (including metadata generation and authoring)
* Mobile, situated and diffuse computing
* Multimedia data
* Natural language
* Ontologies
* Ontology learning
* Scalability
* Searching and querying
* Services, including description, discovery and interoperation
* Socio-cultural and collaborative aspects
* Technological requirements
* Trust and meaning
* User interfaces
* Visualisation and modelling
* Web mining
Paper Submission
----------------
The conference will include contributed papers, system presentations,
and invited lectures. There are three categories of submissions:
A. Research papers.
Papers should not exceed fifteen (15) pages in Springer's LNCS
format [4]. They should describe original research (practical or
theoretical), or provide a survey/overview of an area of research
that is contributing to the realisation of the Semantic Web. Note
that longer system/application papers are welcome in this category.
B. Short system descriptions.
Papers should not exceed five (5) pages in Springer's LNCS format
[4]. They should describe an implemented tool or service that
contributes to the realisation of the Semantic Web.
C. Position papers and reports on work in progress.
Papers should not exceed five (5) pages in Springer's LNCS format
[4]. They should consist of a brief statement of the author's
position on some aspect of Semantic Web research, or describe work
that is still in progress, but sufficiently mature to warrant
attention.
Papers of category (A) and (B) must be original and not submitted
concurrently for publication to a journal or to another conference. In
the case of doubts on this point please contact the program chair.
Accepted papers will be published in Springer's LNCS series, both in
book form and electronically. The proceedings will be available at the
conference.
