Karlsruhe, Germany (04)
http://iswc2008.semanticweb.org/?page_id=21
--------------------------------------------------------------------- (05)
Co-located workshops at previous ISWC conferences have become an
important meeting point for researchers willing to discuss and
exchange ideas on topics related to the Semantic Web. ISWC 2008
plans to continue with this tradition and therefore invites proposals
for the Workshop Program of ISWC 2008, to be held October 26-30, 2008,
in Karlsruhe, Germany. Workshops will be held on 26-27 October. (06)
General Information
--------------------------
* Co-located workshops must be on topics that are of interest to
ISWC attendees. (07)
* Workshop duration can be half a day or a full day (October 26th
and 27th only). (08)
* We strongly advise having more than one organizer, preferably
from different institutions, bringing different perspectives to the
workshop topic. (09)
* Workshops are intended to be genuine interactive events and not
mini-conferences. We welcome workshops with creative structures and
organizations that attract various types of contributions and
ensure rich interactions. (010)

be made on the basis of overall quality of the proposal as well as
how it fits in with the conference. (011)
* The organizers of successful workshops will be responsible for
their own reviewing process, publicity (e.g., website), and
proceedings. They will be required to closely cooperate with the
Workshops Chairs and the ISWC 2008 local organizers to finalize all
details mentioned above. (012)
* Workshop attendees must pay the ISWC 2008 workshop registration
fee, as well as the conference registration fee. (013)
