1. Call for Papers - Ph.D. Symposium
*******************************************
The ESWC 2020 Ph.D. Symposium is a forum for Ph.D. students
working in all areas of Semantic Web research to present their
work, meet with peers and experienced researchers, receive
feedback, and learn from each other’s experiences. It aims at
helping Ph.D. students in developing the skills and confidence
required to conduct and promote their research, as well as
providing them with an opportunity to attend one of the most
important research conferences on the Semantic Web.
The ESWC Ph.D. Symposium will give students the opportunity
to:
* Learn by constructive criticism: Established
researchers and Ph.D. student advisors will provide
constructive feedback to the submitted papers by means of an
open and non-adversarial review process.
* Learn from a mentor: Each student of an accepted paper
will be assigned to a mentor- a selected member of the
programme committee. Students will interact with their mentors
on both the revision of their papers and the preparation of
their presentations.
* Learn about research: Doing good research goes beyond
writing a good paper; it includes perspectives on research as
an endeavour and a career. Besides the presentations, coffee
breaks and the Ph.D. mentoring lunch will be used to exchange
ideas and ask questions about all aspects of pursuing a Ph.D.
and a research career in general.
* Learn by presenting: Accepted contributions will be
presented at the Ph.D. Symposium. All accepted contributions
will also be included at the general poster session of ESWC.
Students’ posters will be presented alongside posters and
demonstrations of the main conference.

2. Call for Papers - Posters & Demos
*******************************************
The posters and demos track of ESWC,
https://2020.eswc-conferences.org/, provides a forum for
late-breaking results, on-going research projects, and
innovative ideas, as well as prototypes of semantic
technologies and their applications in various domains.
Submissions to the posters and demos track may cover all areas
of Semantic Web research and applications, such as Linked Data
and Knowledge Graphs, Ontologies, Reasoning, Natural Language
Processing and Understanding, Machine and Deep Learning,
Information Retrieval, Data Quality and Data Integration, and
Semantic Data Management, as well as applications from Life
Sciences, eGovernment, Business, Manufacturing, eScience,
Emergency and Crisis Management, Cultural Heritage, Tourism,
Autonomous Systems, etc. Posters and demos will be presented
in a separate, interactive session, providing the opportunity
for engaging in discussions and direct exchange.
== Important Dates ==
Submission Deadline: March 12th, 2020

Camera-Ready Paper: April 30th, 2020
== Posters & Demos Chairs ==
Valentina Presutti, University of Bologna
Raphaël Troncy, EURECOM
3. Call for Papers - Industry Track
*******************************************
The industry track seeks to present the state of adoption
of semantic technologies in industrial applications, and
intends to facilitate a discussion about what current industry
challenges can be addressed with semantic technologies. These
technologies may be used in specific industries (e.g., media,
financials, telecommunications, healthcare, life sciences,
government, intelligence, public sector, industrial production
etc.) and in different application areas (e.g., business
intelligence, smart cities, digital twin, analytics, search,
content management, knowledge management, recommendation
systems, data integration, automotive etc.).
The industry track aims to facilitate the exchange between
Semantic Web researchers and industrial solution developers to
bridge between state-of-the-art research and its application
in industrial scenarios. We welcome contributions about:
* Success stories of adoption of semantic technologies
and knowledge graphs in real-world environments, especially by
emphasizing how these technologies have succeeded in creating
value as well as key factors for the success of the adoption
in a large-scale organization.
* Experiences about challenges that are encountered in
an industry setting when adopting a solution based on
semantic technologies.
* Contributions about current challenges in industrial
fields which should be tackled by semantic technologies,
emphasizing solution approaches and existing issues that are
currently only insufficiently addressed by Semantic Web
research.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the
following:
* Development and application of semantic technologies
and knowledge graphs for specific industries (automotive,
financial, healthcare and life sciences, energy industry,
industry 4.0, public sector etc.)
* Real-world applications of semantic technologies for
enabling FAIR (meta) data
* Approaches to bridge between domain experts and
semantic technology experts
* Successful application domains: Knowledge management,
data integration, data sharing, search, Business Intelligence,
data analytics, open data, enterprise data management etc.
* Industrial trends related to the usage of Linked Data,
Open Data and Semantic Web technologies
* Financial and strategic investments in semantic
technologies
* Machine Learning approaches in connection with the
Semantic Web (e.g. ML for knowledge graph completion or
ontology matching, learning of knowledge graph and entity
embeddings, question answering, etc)
