In essence, the Web, with its different versions, <br>has created an interconnected world in which information can be exchanged easily, tasks <br>can be processed collaboratively, communities of users with similarly interests can be<br>formed to achieve efficiency and improve performance, etc. Taking full advantage of these <br>interconnected environments to meet the ever increasing needs of emerging applications <br>requires solutions that address new issues and challenges.<br><br>The track calls for research papers and reports related, but not limited, to the <br>following topics:<br><br><br>Data semantics <br> Ontologies <br> Conceptual Data Modeling <br> Knowledge Representation and Reasoning <br> Metadata <br> Evolution and Change <br> Semantic Caching <br> Data Warehousing and Semantic <br> Semantics in Data Visualization <br> Semantic Services for Mobile Users <br> Applications of Semantic-Driven Approaches <br><br>Web-Centric Systems <br> Semantic Web <br> Social media and networking<br> Web Services and Service Computing <br> Hypermedia and Adaptation <br> E-Commerce, E-government, and E-Learning <br> Web/Data Mining <br> Machine Learning<br> Crowdsourcing <br><br>Big Data <br> Foundations and computation<br> Infrastructure and plateforms <br> Management<br> Data preservation and provenance<br> Search and Mining<br> Computational Modeling and Data Integration<br> Link and Graph Mining<br> Mobility<br> Multimedia and Multi-structured Data<br> Applications <br><br>Information System Interoperability <br> Digital Libraries <br> Semantic Interoperability and Semantic Mediators <br> Ontologies Based Systems <br> Contextual Reasoning in Distributed Ontologies <br><br>Cloud <br> Architectures and platforms <br> Mobile Clouds <br> Storage, Data, and Analytics Clouds <br> Migration, Management, and Quality<br> Composition, Federation, and Integration Resource Virtualization and Composition <br> High Performance Cloud Computing <br> Programming Models and Paradigms <br> Green Computing <br> Innovative Applications and Experiences <br> Computing Consulting <br><br>Cooperative information and Distributed Systems <br> Information Sharing <br> Grid/cloud Applications <br> Peer To Peer Computing and Applications <br> Knowledge and Semantic Grid <br> Semantics Of Peer Data Management Systems <br> Mobile Information Systems and Computing <br><br>Multimedia and application <br> Image and Video Databases <br> Image and Video Indexing and Retrieval <br> Emergent Semantics in Content Retrieval Systems <br> Semantics and Meta Data in Multimedia Systems <br> Content-Based Indexing, Search, and Retrieval of Retrieval <br> Multimedia Data Modeling and Visualization <br> Tools, Benchmarks, Evaluation Protocols and Standards <br><br>Information security <br> Security Modeling and Access Control Protocol <br> Intrusion Avoidance, Detection, and Response <br> Web Security and Supporting Systems Security <br> Denial of Service: Attacks and Countermeasures <br> Intellectual Property Protection <br> Fundamental Services on Network and Distributed Systems <br> Security and Privacy for Emerging Technologies <br> Trust based systems <br><br>Submission and publication The conference will include keynote addresses, <br>tutorials, and regular and workshop sessions.
