The annual SEMANTiCS conference is the meeting place for
professionals who make semantic computing work, who understand its
benefits and encounter its limitations. Every year, SEMANTiCS
attracts information managers, IT-architects, software engineers and
researchers from organisations ranging from NPOs, through public
administrations to the largest companies in the world. Attendees
learn from industry experts and top researchers about emerging
trends and topics in the fields of semantic software, enterprise
data, linked data & open data strategies, methodologies in
knowledge modelling and text & data analytics. The SEMANTiCS
community is highly diverse; attendees have responsibilities in
interlinking areas like knowledge management, technical
documentation, e-commerce, big data analytics, enterprise search,
document management, business intelligence and enterprise vocabulary
management.
The success of last year’s conference in Leipzig with more than 230
attendees from 22 countries proves that SEMANTiCS 2015 will continue
a long tradition of bringing together colleagues from around the
world. There will be presentations on industry implementations, use
case prototypes, best practices, panels, papers and posters to
discuss semantic systems in birds-of-a-feather sessions as well as
informal settings. SEMANTICS addresses problems common among
information managers, software engineers, IT-architects and various
specialist departments working to develop, implement and/or evaluate
semantic software systems.
The SEMANTiCS program is a rich mix of technical talks, panel
discussions of important topics and presentations by people who make
things work - just like you. In addition, attendees can network with
experts in a variety of fields. These relationships provide great
value to organisations as they encounter subtle technical issues in
any stage of implementation. The expertise gained by SEMANTiCS
attendees has a long-term impact on their careers and organisations.
These factors make SEMANTiCS for our community the major industry
related event across Europe.
The following ‘horizontals’ (research) and ‘verticals’ (industries)
topics are of interest:
* Business Models, Governance & Data Strategies
* Knowledge Discovery & Intelligent Search
* Data Integration & Enterprise Linked Data
* Big Data & Text Analytics
* Data Portals & Knowledge Visualization
* Semantic Information Management
* Document Management & Content Management
* Terminology, Thesaurus & Ontology Management
* Industry & Engineering
* Life Sciences & Health Care
* Public Administration
* Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums (GLAM)
* Media, Publishing & Advertising
* Financial & Insurance Industry
* Telecommunications
* Energy, Transport & Environment
Research / Innovation Papers
--------------------------------------
The Research & Innovation track at SEMANTiCS welcomes the
submission of 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 should follow the ACM ICPS guidelines for formatting (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates)
and must not exceed 8 pages in length for full papers and 4 pages
for short papers, including references and optional appendices.
All accepted full papers and short papers will be published in the
digital library of the ACM ICP Series under the ISBN-No.:
978-1-4503-1972-0. Research & Innovation papers should be
submitted through EasyChair at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=semantics2015research.
Papers must be submitted in PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format)
format. Other formats will not be accepted. For the camera-ready
version, the source files (Latex, Word Perfect, Word) will also be
needed.
