We invite contributions to the following tracks:
====
Research and Innovation Track
The Research and Innovation track at SEMANTiCS welcomes papers on novel
scientific research and/or innovations relevant to the topics of the
conference. Submissions must be original and must not have been
submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers must follow the guidelines
given in the author instructions, including references and optional
appendices. Each submission will be reviewed by several PC members who
will judge it based on its innovativeness, appropriateness, and impact
of results in terms of effectiveness at solving real problems.
Important Dates:
Abstract Submission Deadline: April 23, 2019 (11:59 pm, Hawaii time)
Paper Submission Deadline: April 30, 2019 (11:59 pm, Hawaii time)
Notification of Acceptance: June 10, 2019 (11:59 pm, Hawaii time)
Camera-Ready Paper: July 29, 2019 (11:59 pm, Hawaii time)
Author instructions: Reviews will be carried out in a single-blind mode.
Long papers should have a maximum length of 15 pages and short papers of
6 pages. Submissions should follow the guidelines of the Springer LNCS
format.
====
Posters and Demos Track
The Posters and Demonstrations Track invites innovative work in
progress, late-breaking research and innovation results, and smaller
contributions in all fields related to the Semantic Web and Linked Data
in a broader sense. These include submissions on innovative applications
with impact on end users, such as demos of solutions that users may test
or that are yet in the conceptual phase but are worth discussing, and
also applications or pieces of code that may attract developers and
potential research or business partners.
Important Dates (Posters & Demos)
Paper Submission Deadline: June 10, 2019 (11:59 pm, Hawaii time)
Notification of Acceptance: July 8, 2019 (11:59 pm, Hawaii time)
Camera-Ready Paper: July 22, 2019 (11:59 pm, Hawaii time)
Author instructions: Proceedings will be published via CEUR Workshop
proceedings and should follow the guidelines of the Springer LNCS format.
====
Industry and Use Case Track
Focusing strongly on industry needs and ground breaking technology
trends SEMANTICS invites presentations on enterprise solutions that deal
with semantic processing of data and/or information. A special focus of
Semantics 2019 will be on the convergence of machine learning techniques
and knowledge graphs. Additional topics of interest are Enterprise
Knowledge Graphs, Semantic AI & Machine Learning, Enterprise Data
Integration, Linked Data & Data Publishing, Semantic Search,
Recommendation Services, Thesaurus and/or Ontology Management, Text
Mining, Data Mining and any related fields. All submissions should have
a strong focus on real-world applications beyond the prototypical stage
and demonstrate the power of semantic systems!
Important Dates:
Proposal Deadline: May 27, 2019 (11:59 pm, Hawaii time)
Notification of Acceptance: June 10, 2019 (11:59 pm, Hawaii time)
A detailed Call for Industry and Use Case Presentations will be
available soon.
====
Workshops and Tutorials
Workshops and Tutorials at SEMANTiCS 2018 allow your organisation or
project to advance and promote your topics and gain increased
visibility. The workshops and tutorials will provide a forum for
presenting widely recognised contributions and findings to a diverse and
knowledgeable community. Furthermore, the event can be used as a
dissemination activity in the scope of large research projects or as a
closed format for research and commercial project consortia meetings.
Important Dates for Workshops:
Workshop Proposals: March 4, 2019 (23:59 Hawaii Time)
Notification of Acceptance: March 18, 2019 (23:59 Hawaii Time)
Important Dates for Tutorials (and other meetings, e.g. seminars,
show-cases, etc., without call for papers):
Submission deadline: May 6, 2019 (23:59 Hawaii Time)
Notifications: May 13, 2019 (23:59 Hawaii Time)

Vocabulary Innovation Award #VIA
Bootstrap your vocabulary project: At the Vocabulary Innovation Award
you can present your ideas, early stage or camera-ready vocabularies in
order to showcase your work, find the right people and get the
discussion going. For this event, we provide both, an academic and
industry track. We use a broad definition of what a vocabulary is. For
instance, ontologies, classification schemes, thesauri, taxonomies,
subject heading and metadata schemes, whichever their format, be it RDF
or not, are all welcome. More details will follow.
Proposal Deadline: May 20, 2019 (11:59 pm, Hawaii time)
Notification of Acceptance: June 03, 2019 (11:59 pm, Hawaii time)
