ASWC 2008

 

Call For Posters

The Asian Semantic Web conference is meanwhile recognized as the yearly conference on theoretical foundations, technological building blocks and practical applications of semantic technologies on the Asian continent. Targeted at both academia and industry, the conference
will present the latest research and development of the Semantic Web and its related technologies. It will bring together researchers in relevant disciplines such as artificial intelligence, knowledge modeling, logic, databases, social networks, Web services, distributed computing, Web engineering, information systems, natural language processing, multimedia, and human-computer interaction.

As integral part of this conference the poster track is an opportunity for researchers and developers to present late-breaking achievements, ongoing projects, and innovative early ideas. It should provide authors and attendees a forum for exchanging experiences and establishing potential future collaborations. We welcome different types of submissions, ranging from descriptions of completed research and work in progress to more technical topics and practical applications.

Submissions

Authors must submit a two-page abstract formatted according to the information for LNCS authors. The topics of the poster track are fully aligned with the program of the main conference and include
  

Semantic Web Technologies

• Query Languages and Optimization for the Semantic Web
• Rule Languages, Logics and Scalable Reasoning on the Semantic Web
• Tools and Methodologies for Large Scale Semantic Web Data - Management
• Machine learning and human language technologies for the Semantic Web
• Semantic Web Content Creation
• Database Technologies for the Semantic Web

 

Semantic Web Services

• Languages, Tools and Methodologies for Semantic Web Services
  (description, discovery, invocation, composition, choreography)
• Semantic Descriptions of Enterprise Processes
• Semantics Applied to Mashups and Adhoc Service Aggregations

 

Semantic Web Applications

• Applications of Semantic Web (e-Business, e-Science, e-Health, e-Government, e-Learning, e-Culture)
• Case Studies of Semantic Web Applications
• Personalization and User Modeling
• Semantics in P2P Computing and the Grid
• Semantic Web-based Knowledge Management
• Semantic Web, Multimedia, and Human Computer Interaction

 

Social Semantic Web

• Semantic Web and Social Networks and Processes
• Semantic Web Technologies for Collaboration and Cooperation
  Trust, Provenance, Security, Privacy, Identity and the Semantic Web

 

Ontologies

• Ontology Modeling
• Ontology Management (creation, evolution, evaluation)
• Ontology Alignment (mapping, matching, merging, mediation and reconciliation)
• Ontology Learning and Metadata Generation
• Ontology Searching and Ranking
  

 

Submissions will be evaluated for acceptability by a committee of independent reviewers. Decisions about acceptance will be based on relevance to the call, originality, potential impact and quality of the presentation.

Full papers rejected in the other tracks, notably the research track of ASWC2008, will not automatically be considered for the poster track. A separate poster submission must be made. A poster can be provided in addition to a paper accepted for presentation in the research track or can be used to present work that was insufficiently mature to be accepted there.

Submission and reviewing of posters will be electronic by sending an email to the poster chair [email protected] Posters must be submitted in PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format) format. Papers that exceed the 2 pages limit, do not follow the LNCS guidelines or are not submitted as PDF documents will be automatically rejected without a review.
