Call for Papers: Research Papers Track
The research track is the core and technical anchor of the ISWC conference series, whose goal is presentation of novel and innovative research that demonstrates new trends or addresses scientific challenges for the Semantic Web. Traditionally, this track has included papers addressing logic-based or statistical reasoning on the web of data, new approaches in distributed computing, web engineering, information systems, natural language processing and artificial intelligence, as well as successful results in new application areas, and solutions for the presentation of and interaction with the web of data.

Submission of Abstracts and Papers
Pre-submission of abstracts is a strict requirement. All papers and abstracts have to be submitted electronically via the Conference Submission System. The submission system will be open for submissions soon.
All research paper submissions must be in English, and no longer than 16 pages. Papers that exceed this limit will be rejected without review. Submissions must be in PDF formatted in the style of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). For details on the LNCS style, see Springer’s Author Instructions.
Authors of accepted papers will be required to provide semantic annotations for the abstract of their submission, which will be made available on the conference web site. Details will be provided at the time of acceptance.
Accepted papers will be distributed to conference attendees and also published by Springer in the printed conference proceedings, as part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper there.
