Call for Research Papers
http://iswc2012.semanticweb.org/call-research-papers

11th International Semantic Web Conference
http://iswc2012.semanticweb.org/
Boston - USA
November 11-15, 2012
------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 2012'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.

To maintain the high level of quality and impact of the ISWC series,
all papers will be reviewed by three program committee members and one
vice chair of the program committee. To assess papers, reviewers will
judge their originality and significance for further advances in the
Semantic Web, as well as the technical soundness of the proposed
approaches and the overall readability of the submitted papers. We
will give specific attention to the evaluation of the approaches
described in the papers. We strongly encourage evaluations that are
repeatable: preference will be given to papers that provide links to
the data sets and queries used to evaluate their approach, as well as
systems papers providing links to their source code or to some live
deployment.

Submission
---------------------

Pre-submission of abstracts is a strict requirement. All papers and
abstracts have to be submitted electronically via the Conference
Submission System
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iswc2012.

All research submissions must be in English, and no longer than 16
pages. Papers that exceed this limit will be rejected without review.
Submissions must be in PDF formatted in the style of the Springer
Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). For
details on the LNCS style, see Springer’s Author Instructions.
ISWC-2012 submissions are not anonymous.

Authors of accepted papers will be required to provide semantic
annotations for the abstract of their submission, which will be made
available on the conference web site. Details will be provided at the
time of acceptance.

Accepted papers will be distributed to conference attendees and also
published by Springer in the printed conference proceedings, as part
of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. At least one author
of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present
the paper there.

Prior Publication And Multiple Submissions
--------------------------------------------------------------------

ISWC 2012 will not accept research papers that, at the time of
submission, are under review for or have already been published in or
accepted for publication in a journal or another conference. The
conference organizers may share information on submissions with other
venues to ensure that this rule is not violated.

Submission of a Poster or Demo together with your Accepted Research Paper
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Authors of accepted papers are invited to submit also a poster or a
demo to the Posters and Demo track. The submission format is the same
as for normal poster and demo submissions but the submission must cite
the corresponding paper from the research track.
