The 7th International Semantic Web Conference

ISWC is the major international forum where the latest research results and technical innovations on all aspects of the Semantic Web are presented. In Bonn, scientists from all over the world will meet to present novel and innovative research that demonstrates new trends and addresses scientific challenges for the Semantic Web. Bonn is a 2000 year old city, founded by the Romans. It is the hometown of Ludwig van Beet-hoven and the capital of Western Germany from 1949 till 1990. Since then, the city has developed into a hub of international cooperation, particularly in the area of environment and sustainable development. It boasts many historical sites and museums. Bonn is easy to get to; it is within a little more than one hour's reach from two international airports (Frankfurt am Main and Cologne). Main events ƒ Research track presents original, principled research papers addressing both the theory and practice of semantic Web technologies. ƒ Semantic Web In Use track presents papers describing innovative use of Semantic Web technologies in real-life applications. Papers due June 23, 2011. ƒ Doctoral Consortium provides an opportunity for doctoral students to present their current progress and future plans and to get advice on their work. Papers due July 11, 2011. ƒ Posters and Demos present the latest developments in the field and showcase Semantic Web systems. Submissions due August 15, 2011. ƒ Tutorials offer hands-on guidance on using key Semantic Web technologies. Tutorial proposals due May 6, 2011. ƒ Interactive Workshops discuss hot topics and new research areas. Workshop proposals due April 15, 2011. ƒ Semantic Web Challenge provides a forum for the best Semantic Web applications to compete. ƒ 2nd Linked Data-a-thon. The main goal of the competition is to develop innovative applications that showcase the benefits of Linked Data ... in two weeks! ƒ Industrial Track enables the business community to present products that use or enrich the Semantic Web.
