=============================================================================== ISWC2010 - Ninth International Semantic Web Conference November 7-11, 2010, in Shanghai, China http://iswc2010.semanticweb.org/ =============================================================================== Posters and Demonstrations Track *Last Call* for Submissions Strict Deadline: *August 23, 2010* ===============================================================================
The posters and demonstrations track of ISWC 2010 continues the established tradition of providing an interaction and connection opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present and demonstrate their new and innovative work-in-progress. The track gives conference attendees a way to learn about novel on-going research projects that might not yet be complete, but whose preliminary results are already interesting. The track also provides presenters with an excellent opportunity to obtain feedback from their peers in an informal setting from knowledgeable sources.
Full papers accepted for the Research and In-Use tracks are explicitly invited to submit a poster or demo to the Posters and Demo track. The submission format is the same as for the normal posters and demos but must cite the accepted full paper and needs to include an explanation on what the Demo/Poster adds on top of the conference presentation. Such added value could include: a) extended results and experiments not presented in the conference paper for space reasons, b) a demo of a supporting prototype implementation wherever software is available.
Important Dates ===============
* Abstracts due: August 23, 2010, 23:59 (11:59pm) Hawaii time * Notification: September 13, 2010

Submission Information ======================
Submissions and reviewing will be handled using the EasyChair reviewing system. Papers must be submitted via EasyChair to the Posters and Demos track of ISWC2010 at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iswc2010 Authors must submit a four-page abstract for evaluation. The abstract must clearly demonstrate relevance to the Semantic Web. All poster and demo submissions will undergo a common review process, including those ones that have full papers accepted. Decisions about acceptance will be based on relevance to the Semantic Web, originality, potential significance, topicality and clarity.
Submissions must be in PDF. Submissions must be formatted in the style of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Submissions that exceed the page limit may be rejected without review.
For details on the LNCS style, see Springer's Author Instructions at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0
For demo submissions, authors are strongly encouraged to include in their submission a link to where the demo (live or recorded video) can be found. At least one of the authors must be a registered participant at the conference, and attend their Poster/Demo Session to present the work. The abstracts for all accepted posters and demos will be given to all conference attendees and published on the conference web site, but will not be published by Springer in the printed conference proceedings.
Metadata for all successful submissions will be included in the conference metadata corpus and made publicly available at http://data.semanticweb.org http://data.semanticweb.org/. Detailed information will be provided with the acceptance notification.
