Call for Papers

Semantic technologies continue to make the transition from research labs into mainstream adoption. The In-Use track at ISWC 2011 provides a forum for the community to explore the benefits and challenges of applying semantic technology in real-life applications and contexts, such as industry, science, society, or government.

Submissions to the ISWC In-Use track may employ scientific methods (qualitative and/or quantitative) to understand in greater detail the deployment of semantic technologies (online or offline), or present novel practical approaches that are relevant to the deployment of semantics but may not otherwise gain an outlet in the ISWC series.  Papers will be evaluated on how the use of semantic technologies impacts and provides utility to a distributed base of users.

Accepted papers will be distributed to conference attendees and also published by Springer in the printed conference proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper there.
