CSWWS 2009 Registration and Accomodation

CSWWS 2009, The Second Canadian Semantic Web Working Symposium, will be held in Kelowna, British Columbia (May 24, 2009). This symposium is associated with the 22nd Canadian Conference on Artificial Intelligence.

As a follow-up to the previous symposium, CSWWS 2009 aims at bringing together Canadian and international researchers in semantic technologies and knowledge management to discuss about various issues related to the Semantic Web.

The Second Canadian Semantic Web Working Symposium 2009 calls for papers in all topics related to semantic web technologies and their applications. The following are some example topics:

• Languages, tools and methodologies for the Semantic Web
• The application of AI technologies in the Semantic Web
• Searching, querying, visualizing and interpreting the Semantic Web
• Semantic Web-based Knowledge Management;
• Semantic Grid and semantic Grid services
• Trust, privacy, security on the Semantic Web;
• Ontology design, evolution and management
• Ontology mapping and merging
• Semantic Web and uncertainty
• Description logics and frame logics as ontology formalisms
• Modular, distributed, and multi-ontologies
• Semantic Web technologies for collaboration and cooperation
• Semantic Web Services (description, discovery, invocation, composition)
• Semantic Web and databases
• Practical applications of Semantic Web techniques in e-business, e-commerce, e-government and e-learning
• Semantic Web rule languages and engines
• Social Semantic Web (Web 3.0)

CSWWS 2009 will feature two tracks: a Research and a Work-in-Progress track. The objective of the research track is to solicit original papers that present accomplished research on the area of the Semantic Web.  The Work-in-Progress track aims at providing an opportunity for practitioners to present their on-going research on principles and applications of the Semantic Web, even when implementation or deployment has not been completed.

Accepted submissions will be published in the symposium Proceeding. Furthermore, all accepted papers will be invited to be published after applying requested revisions in the "Canadian Semantic Web 2" book. (The first volume of this book on CSWWS 2006 is available here)

Authors are invited to submit full papers in PDF, Postscript or MS-Word RTF electronically. All papers must be written in English. Research papers can be up to 12 pages in length and Work-In-Progress papers can be up to 6 pages. Papers must be formatted according to Springer's LNCS style. Please follow the instructions for authors at Springer's site for authors. To submit papers, please follow this and the automatic submission procedure. Papers that are not submitted through the automatic procedure cannot be reviewed.
