Description
---------------
The ISWC 2013 Posters and Demonstrations Track complements
the Research Paper track
of the conference and offers an opportunity for presenting
late-breaking research
results, ongoing research projects, and speculative or
innovative work in progress.
The informal setting of the Posters and Demonstrations
Track encourages presenters and
participants to engage in discussions about the presented
work. Such discussions can
be invaluable inputs for the future work of the presenters,
while offering participants
an effective way to broaden their knowledge of the emerging
research trends and to
network with other researchers.
We invite submissions relevant to the area of the Semantic
Web and which address, but
are not limited to, the topics of the Research Track and
the Semantic Web In Use Track.
Technical posters, reports on Semantic Web software
systems, descriptions of completed
work, and work in progress are all welcome. Demonstrations
are intended to showcase
innovative Semantic Web related implementations and
technologies. All submissions are
intended to convey a scientific result or work in progress
and should not be advertisements
for commercial software packages.
Authors of full papers accepted for the Research and In Use
tracks are explicitly invited
to submit a poster or a demonstration. The submission
should be formatted as the other
posters and demonstrations but must cite the accepted full
paper and needs to include
an explanation of its added value with respect to the
conference paper. The added value
could include: a) extended results and experiments not
presented in the conference paper
for space reasons, or b) a demonstration of a supporting
prototype implementation.
Submission Information
----------------------
Authors must submit a four-page extended abstract for
evaluation. All submissions will undergo
a common review process, including those related to already
accepted full papers. Decisions
about acceptance will be based on relevance to the Semantic
Web, originality, potential
significance, topicality and clarity. For demonstrations,
authors are strongly encouraged to
include in their submission a link to where the demo (live
or recorded video) can be found.
They should also make clear what exactly will be
demonstrated to the participants (e.g., what
data sets will be used, which functionalities will be
shown).
All papers and abstracts have to be submitted
electronically via the EasyChair conference
submission system:
Submissions must use the PDF file format and must adopt the
style of the Springer Publications
format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
Details are provided on Springer's Author
that exceed the page limit will be rejected without review.
At least one of the authors must be a registered
participant at the conference, and attend the
Poster/Demo Session to present the work. The abstracts of
accepted posters and demonstrations
will be given to all conference attendees and published on
the conference web site, but will
not be published by Springer in the printed conference
proceedings. There will, however, be
compiled into a CEUR-WS Proceedings for easy Web retrieval
and archival.
Metadata for all successful submissions will be included in
the conference metadata corpus.
Detailed information about metadata creation will be
provided with the acceptance notification
of the successful submissions.
