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 platforms <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<br>---------------------------<br>The conference will include keynote addresses, <br>tutorials, and regular and workshop sessions.
