========================================

10th ESWC 2013 -- Semantics and Big Data

May 26-30, 2013. Montpellier, France.

http://2013.eswc-conferences.org/

General Chair:

Philipp Cimiano (Bielefeld University, DE)

Program Chairs 

Valentina Presutti (STLab, ISTC-CNR, IT)

Oscar Corcho (UPM, ES)  

==== Call for Papers ====

ESWC is the premier European-based annual conference for researchers and
practitioners in the field of semantic technologies. ESWC is the ideal venue
for the discussion of the latest scientific insights and novel applications
of semantic technologies. 

The leading motto of the 10th edition of ESWC will be "Semantics and Big
Data". A crucial challenge that will guide the efforts of many scientific
communities in the years to come is the one of making sense of large volumes
of heterogeneous and complex data. Application-relevant data often has to be
processed in real time and originates from diverse sources such as Linked
Data, text and speech, images, videos and sensors, communities and social
networks, etc. ESWC, with its focus on semantics, can offer an important
contribution to global challenge.

ESWC 2013 will feature nine thematic research tracks (see below) as well as
an in-use and industrial track. In line with the motto "Semantics and Big
Data", the conference will feature a special track on "Semantic Technologies
for Big Data Analytics in Real Time". In order to foster the interaction
with other disciplines, this year's edition will also feature a special
track on "Cognition and Semantic Web".

For the research and special tracks, we welcome the submission of papers
describing theoretical, analytical, methodological, empirical, and
application research on semantic technologies. For the In-Use and Industrial
track we solicit the submission of papers describing the practical
exploitation of semantic technologies in different domains and sectors.
Submitted papers should describe original work, present significant results,
and provide rigorous, principled, and repeatable evaluation. We strongly
encourage and appreciate the submission of papers including links to data
sets and other material used for the evaluation as well as to live demos or
source code for tool implementations. 

Submitted papers will be judged based on originality, awareness of related
work, potential impact on the Semantic Web field, technical soundness of the
proposed methods, and readability. Each paper will be reviewed by at least
three program committee members in addition to one track chair. This year a
rebuttal phase has been introduced in order to give authors the opportunity
to provide feedback to reviewers' questions. The authors' answers will
support reviewers and track chairs in their discussion and in taking final
decisions regarding acceptance.

==== Submission information ====

All papers and abstracts have to be submitted via the conference submission
page: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eswc2013

Each submitted paper must be associated with one of the available tracks.

Abstract submission is a strict requirement.

Papers will be published by Springer in the  Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS) series. Papers must be in English, should not exceed fifteen
(15) pages in length and must be formatted according to the LNCS guidelines.
More information about Springer's LNCS series are available on the Springer
LNCS Web site. Papers must be submitted in PDF (Adobe's Portable Document
Format) format and will not be accepted in any other format. Papers that
exceed 15 pages or do not follow the LNCS guidelines can be rejected
automatically without a review. 

Authors of accepted papers will be required to provide semantic annotations
for the abstract of their submission at the time of acceptance. At least one
author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present
the paper there.

All tracks and associated chairs are listed below. Additional information,
track descriptions, and list of topics of interest can be found on the
conference web site: http://2013.eswc-conferences.org/.
