ISWC 2016: Semantic Web

17-21 Oct 2016
Kobe, Japan

********************************************
  15th International Semantic Web Conference
            October 17-21, 2016
                Kobe, Japan
      http://iswc2016.semanticweb.org

        2nd Call for Posters and Demos
********************************************

The ISWC 2016 Posters and Demonstrations complement the paper tracks of the 
conference and offer an opportunity for presenting late-breaking research 
results, on-going research projects, and speculative or innovative work in 
progress. The informal setting of the Posters and Demonstrations encourages 
presenters and participants to engage in discussions about the 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; the 
Application Track; and the Resource Track. Technical posters, reports on 
Semantic Web software systems (free or commercial), descriptions of completed 
work, and work in progress are all welcome. Demonstrations are intended to 
showcase innovative Semantic Web related implementations and technologies, both 
in academia and in industry.

We explicitly welcome entries from the industry. However, submissions for 
posters and demos should go beyond pure advertisements of commercial software 
packages and convey a minimal scientific contribution.

Authors of full papers accepted for the Research Track; the Application Track; 
and the Resource Track are explicitly invited to submit 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 
reasons of space, 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. 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 datasets will be used, which 
functionalities will be shown).

All submissions must be made electronically via the EasyChair conference 
submission system:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iswc2016pd

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 Instructions page. Submissions that 
exceed the page limit will be rejected without review. For details on the HTML 
format, see the HTML submission guide.

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. They 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.

As in previous years, student-authors of accepted papers will be able to apply 
for travel support to attend the conference.

Review Criteria

All papers submitted to the Posters & Demos Track will be reviewed by at least 
three program committee members. Decisions about acceptance will be based on 
relevance to the Semantic Web, originality, potential significance, relevance, 
and clarity. The purpose of the track is to allow the presentation of 
preliminary results to the community, provided that originality and 
significance of the contribution are ensured. Authors submitting a demo are 
strongly encouraged to include in the paper a pointer to the online demo or 
video of the application to be presented. The absence of a pointer will affect 
the overall evaluation of the paper.

Important Dates

* Poster & Demo Submission: July 7th, 2016
* Notifications: August 7th, 2016
* Camera-Ready Versions: August 30th, 2016
All deadlines are midnight Hawaii time.
