[AISWorld] CFP: 5th IEEE Intl. Conf. on Semantic Computing

[Chengcui Zhang]

Call for Papers

The Fifth IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing
(IEEE ICSC 2011)

September 18-21, 2011, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA, USA.
www.ieee-icsc.org

The field of Semantic Computing addresses the derivation of semantic
information from content and the connection of semantics to knowledge, 
where "content" may be anything including video, audio, text, processes, 
services, hardware, networks, etc.

The fifth IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing (ICSC 2011)
continues to foster the growth of a new research community. The conference
builds on the success of the past ICSC conferences as an international 
forum for researchers and practitioners to present research that advances 
the state of the art and practice of Semantic Computing, as well as 
identifying emerging research topics and defining the future of the field.

The event is located in Palo Alto, CA on the campus of Stanford 
University. The technical program of ICSC 2011 includes workshops, invited 
keynotes, paper presentations, panel discussions, industrial 'show and 
tells', demonstrations, and more. Submissions of high-quality papers 
describing mature results or ongoing work are invited.

Please refer to the conference website for further information:

SUBMISSIONS

Authors are invited to submit Regular Papers (8-page technical paper),
Short Papers (4-page technical paper), Demonstration Papers and Posters
(2 page technical paper), and Workshop and Special Session Proposals.
More information is available on the ICSC 2011 web page. The Conference 
Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press. 
Distinguished quality papers presented at the conference will be selected 
for publication in internationally renowned journals.

Only electronic submission will be accepted. Technical paper authors MUST 
submit their manuscripts through EasyChair. Please follow this link:

(please register if not an EasyChair user). Manuscripts may only be 
submitted in PDF format.

A copyright form needs to be submitted upon acceptance of the paper and is 
not required at this stage.
