CALL FOR PAPERS

ICSC2007
First IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing
September 17-19, 2007
Irvine, California, USA

http://ICSC2007.eecs.uci.edu/

Sponsored by
IEEE Computer Society


The field Semantic Computing applies technologies in natural language proce
ssing, data
and knowledge engineering, software engineering, computer systems and netwo
rks,
signal processing and pattern recognition, and any combination of the above
 to
extract, access, transform and synthesize the semantics (contents) of multi
media,
texts, services and structured data.

The IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing (ICSC2007) is an
international forum for researchers to exchange information regarding advan
cements
in the state of the art and practice of semantic computing, as well as to i
dentify
the emerging research topics and define the future of semantic computing. T
he
technical program of ICSC2007 will consist of invited talks, paper presenta
tions,
and panel discussions.

Submissions of high quality papers describing mature results or on-going wo
rk
are invited.  Topics for submission include but are not limited to:

?          Natural language understanding and processing
?          Understanding and processing of texts and multimedia contents
?          Content-based retrieval of texts, images, videos and audios
