ESWC2017 – CALL FOR CHALLENGES, TUTORIALS, WORKSHOPS conference: 28 May to 1 June 2017 in Portorož, Slovenia proposal submission: 18 November 2016 details: http://2017.eswc-conferences.org/

ESWC is a major venue for discussing the latest scientific results and technology innovations around semantic technologies. We are looking for organizers of challenges, tutorials, and workshops co-located with ESWC2017.

CALL FOR CHALLENGES (details: http://2017.eswc-conferences.org/call-challenges) Challenges showcase the maturity of state of the art methods and tools on tasks common to the Semantic Web community and adjacent disciplines, in a controlled setting involving rigorous evaluation. Semantic Web Challenges are an official track of the conference, ensuring significant visibility for the challenges as well as participants. Challenge participants are asked to present their submissions as well as provide a paper describing their work. These papers must undergo a peer-review by experts, and will be published in the challenge proceedings.

CALL FOR TUTORIALS (details: http://2017.eswc-conferences.org/call-tutorials) ESWC 2017 invites tutorials for people new to the Semantic Web, researchers and practitioners that wish to learn new technologies, users of Semantic Web technologies, and representatives of government and funding agencies as well as potential private investors in Semantic Web technologies. We are open to all tutorials, with a particular focus on: – introductions to new semantic technologies, methods, techniques, trends – applications of semantic technologies in specific domains – techniques from other fields relevant for Semantic Web research

CALL FOR WORKSHOPS (details: http://2017.eswc-conferences.org/call-workshops) Co-located workshops at ESWC conferences are essential meeting points for discussing ongoing work and the latest ideas. We especially encourage proposals on: – fundamental technical and theoretical problems – applications of Semantic Web technologies – key enabling technologies and their adaptation to the needs of the Semantic Web, – underrepresented aspects of Semantic Web research – techniques from other fields relevant for Semantic Web research – new emerging topics and areas

DATES – proposal submission: 18 November 2016 – notification: 2 December 2016 – workshop/tutorial days: 28 and 29 May 2017
