Paper Submission and Guidelines

Research & Application Papers

I-SEMANTICS 2012 proceedings will be published in the digital library of the ACM ICP Series. (Please note: The proceedings will contain all accepted papers from the Research & Application track and the I-CHALLENGE. Posters, Demo and PhD papers are planned to be published at CEUR-WS. For details see below.)

Submissions must be original and must not have been submitted for publication elsewhere. Articles should follow the ACM ICPS guidelines for formatting (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and must be submitted via the online submission system available at the conference website as PDF documents (other formats will not be accepted). For the camera-ready version, we will also need the source files (Latex, Word Perfect, Word).

For the camera-ready version, we will also need the source files (Latex, OpenOffice, Word).

Research papers report on novel research and/or applications relevant to the topics of the conference. The number of pages of research papers is limited to 8 pages for full papers and 4 pages for short papers including references and an optional appendix.

Important Dates (Research & Application Papers)

  • Abstract Submission Deadline (strict): April 2, 2012
  • Paper Submission Deadline: April 13, 2012

  • Camera-Ready Paper: June 4, 2012

Posters & Demos & PhD Papers

The informal setting of the Posters & Demonstrations Track encourages presenters and participants to engage in discussions about the presented work. Such discussions can be invaluable inputs for the future work of the presenters, while offering participants an effective way to broaden their knowledge of the emerging research trends and to network with other researchers. Poster and demo submissions should consist of a 2-3 page description that allows us to judge the quality of the presentation. Submissions to this track must be in the Springer LNCS format (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors), i.e. please do NOT use the ACM template here.

The objective of the PhD Track is to provide doctoral students with a forum to present and discuss their research projects with experienced researchers (“mentors”) and fellow students. It addresses PhD students at an early stage of their doctoral studies, who want to receive feedback from internationally recognized researchers. Ideally, participants will have a well-defined problem statement and precise questions to discuss with their mentor. Applicants should be PhD students (from any country), conducting ongoing research in the areas of semantic technologies, Linked Data and the Semantic Web.

PhD track submissions should consist of up to 1.500 words and contain the following:

  • Name, affiliation and contact details of the PhD student
  • Name(s) of the supervisor(s)
  • Summary of the research project, including:
    • Problem: research questions, motivation, state of the art and relevance for the fields of Semantic Technologies, Linked Data and Semantic Web
    • Approach: (planned) approach and methodology
    • Current status / timeline: current status of the work and any results that have already been reached plus outlook to future work
  • A list of key questions that the PhD student wants to discuss during the event

Submissions will be reviewed by experienced researchers; each submission will receive detailed feedback. The program committee will select participants who will give a short presentation about their research project during the I-SEMANTICS PhD Track. Main focus of the event is on discussion, support and solving open questions.
