Semantic Trilogy of Conferences in Montreal, July 2013
======================================================
The Fourth Canadian Semantic Web Symposium (CSWS2013) will be held
at Concordia University, in Montreal, Quebec, on July 10, 2013.
CSWS 2013 aims to bring together Canadian and international
researchers in semantic technologies and knowledge management to
discuss issues related to the Semantic Web. This year, CSWS 2013
is part of a week of co-located events on semantic technologies,
including:
o International Conference on Biomedical Ontologies (ICBO 2013)
o Canadian Semantic Web Symposium (CSWS 2013)
o Data Integration in the Life Sciences (DILS 2013)
For up-to-date information on the "Semantic Trilogy", see the web
site: http://www.unbsj.ca/sase/csas/data/ws/semantic-trilogy-2013/

1 March 2013: Long and short research paper submission deadline
1 April 2013: Notification of long and short paper acceptance
15 April 2013: System and early career paper submission deadline
15 May 2013: Notification of system and early career paper acceptance

Topics of Interest
==================
The Fourth Canadian Semantic Web Symposium (CSWS 2013) calls for papers
in all topics related to semantic web technologies and their
applications, including:
Foundations and technology
- Description logics and frame logics as ontology formalisms
- Semantic Web rule languages and engines
- Modular, distributed, and multi-ontologies
- Knowledge representation, automated reasoning, uncertainty
- Semantic Web Services (description, discovery, invocation, composition)
- Ontology design, evolution and management; Ontology mapping and merging
Semantic software engineering
- Semantic technology in software development environments
- Ontologies for software artifacts, processes, and quality
- Applications to software development, maintenance, evolution,
and reverse engineering
Linked data, data analytics, and Big Data on the semantic web
- Searching, querying, visualizing and interpreting the Semantic Web
- Open data, community engagement, crowd sourcing
Applications to science, engineering, and health
- Semantic Web technologies for collaboration and cooperation
- Provenance, standards, knowledge translation
Applications to education, government, business, and society
- Open data, open government, citizen science
- Trust, privacy, security on the Semantic Web
- Social Semantic Web (Web 3.0)
Submissions
===========
All accepted submissions will be published as part of the Conference
Proceedings within the CEUR Workshop Proceedings series. Please follow
the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines in
preparing your paper. The stated page lengths are for the
double-column layout of the IEEE conference template, available at
http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting
o Long Research Paper (up to 7 pages):
The review and acceptance guidelines for long papers are that they
should satisfy the following criteria: original research; novelty in
methodology and/or in research results; significant development with
large potential for impact; theoretical soundness and/or strong
evaluation through demonstration of utility in applications.
o Short Research Paper (up to 4 pages):
The review and acceptance guidelines for short papers are that they
should satisfy the following criteria: original research;
methodological soundness with either novel methodology & application,
or demonstrated improvement over existing methods (with evaluation),
or the use of existing methodology but with new results; and be of
moderate significance, so have potential for citation in related
work. Short papers are appropriate for applied research or systems, or
the development of new approaches.
o Systems Paper (up to 2 pages):
A systems paper must describe the system functionality and
availability, and describe an application of the system. The system
itself must be demonstrated at the symposium.
o Early Career Track (up to 4 pages):
This track is to support the work of young investigators. The
symposium will have an Early Career Track session where the papers
will be presented. The ECT paper review and acceptance criteria are
the same as for short research papers. The staggered submission dates
allows submissions (from young investigators) that are not accepted as
long or short research papers to be revised and re-submitted; as well
as allow first time submissions from young investigators to the Early
Career Track directly.
Please submit your paper through EasyChair at
