ISWC is the premier venue for presenting innovative systems and research results related to the Semantic Web and Linked Data, attracting a large number of high quality submissions every year and participants from both industry and academia. ISWC brings together researchers from different areas, such as artificial intelligence, databases, natural language processing, information systems, human computer interaction, information retrieval, web science, etc., who investigate, develop and use novel methods and technologies for accessing, interpreting and using information on the Web in a more effective way.
Besides the main technical program, ISWC will host several workshops on topics related to the general theme of the conference. The role of the workshops is to provide a setting for focused, intensive scientific exchange among researchers and practitioners interested in a specific topic. As such, workshops are the primary venues for the exploration of emerging ideas as well as for the discussion of novel aspects of established research topics.
Topics
Submissions
All submissions should be submitted in English via EasyChair as a single PDF file not longer than 4 (four) pages containing the following sections:
- Title and Acronym
- Workshop Type: established/emerging
- Abstract: 200 word summary of the workshop purpose
- Topics: What topics of interest will be covered by the workshop? (Bulleted list; no longer than half a page)
- Motivation (emerging only): Why is the topic timely and of particular interest to ISWC participants? (One to three paragraphs)
- Continuation (established only): Why is it worthwhile to continue the workshop in 2018? Discussion may include novel topics that are emerging, external developments that prompt new challenges, etc. Workshops should also argue why they continue to be relevant and maintain a focused identity versus the main conference. (No longer than half a page)
- Past Workshops (established only): describe the development of the workshop series over the past 3-5 years. Provide quantitative information on submissions and attendance. (No longer than a page)
- Workshop Format: The intended mix of events, such as paper presentations, invited talks, panels, demos and general discussion (Either a tabular schedule or a one paragraph summary)
- Audience (emerging only): Who and how many people are likely to attend? (One paragraph)
- Community (emerging only): Demonstrate that there is an existing community interested in the topic e.g., by providing references for recent papers related to the core topic of the workshop, and/or a discussion why the workshop would attract submissions. (No longer than half a page)
- Chair(s): Name, affiliation, email address, homepage and short (one paragraph) biography of each chair, explaining the chair’s expertise in the workshop topic and experience in organising relevant events.
- Program Committee: Names and affiliations of potential PC members (at least 50% of PC members should have confirmed).
- Proposed Length: Half-day or full-day?
We strongly advise having more than one chair, preferably from different institutions, bringing different perspectives to the workshop topic, ideally with a mix of both junior and senior researchers. We also strongly advise to have a maximum of five workshop organisers. We welcome workshops with an innovative structure and a diverse programme which attracts various types of contributions and ensures rich interactions. We highly encourage workshops with open review procedure (i.e., publicly available submissions and reviews, non-anonymous reviews). Proposed workshops should have a core theme that is much more selective than the broader scope of the main conference. We may reject or propose to merge workshops that overlap significantly with other workshops in terms of theme. Accepted workshops will be required to prepare a workshop web page containing their call for papers and detailed information about the workshop organisation and timelines. While the ISWC workshop and local chairs will assist with the local organisation of the workshop, the workshop organisers will be responsible for conducting their own reviewing process, for publicity of their workshop, and for publishing electronic proceedings. Workshop attendees must pay the ISWC workshop registration fee as well as the conference registration fee. At least two workshop organisers must be registered before the early registration date ends and ultimately attend the conference and participate in the workshop (the free registration counts towards the two registrations required). At the discretion of the chairs, workshops may be cancelled if organisers have not registered in a timely manner or if a workshop has received too few submissions.’
