Building on its > past success, ESWC is seeking to broaden its focus to span other > relevant research areas in which semantics in a Web context plays an > important role. The goal of the Semantic Web is to create a Web of > knowledge and services in which the semantics of content is made > explicit and content is linked to both other content and services. This > network of knowledge-based functionality will weave together a large > network of human knowledge, and make this knowledge machine-processable > to support intelligent behaviour by machines. It will support novel > applications allowing to combine content from heterogeneous sites in > unforeseen ways and support enhanced matching between users needs and > content. > > Creating such an interlinked Web of knowledge which spans unstructured, > RDF as well as multimedia content and services requires the > collaboration of many disciplines, including but not limited to: > Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing, Database and > Information Systems, Information Retrieval, Machine Learning, > Multimedia, Distributed Systems, Social Networks, Web Engineering, and > Web Science. > > In addition to the research and in-use tracks, we have furthermore > introduced two special tracks this year, putting particular emphasis on > inter-disciplinary research topics and areas that show the potential of > exciting synergies for the future. > > *Important Dates* > > Abstract submission December 5th, 2011 > Full-paper submission December 12th, 2011 > Notification of acceptance/rejection February 22nd, 2012 > Camera-ready papers March 9th, 2012 > > *Additional Information* > > ESWC2012 welcomes the submission of original research and application > papers dealing with all aspects of representing and using semantics on > the Web. We encourage theoretical, methodological, empirical, and > applications papers. The proceedings of this conference will be > published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Paper > submission and reviewing for ESWC2012 will be electronic via the > conference submissions site.
