The 15th IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing (ICSC2021) addresses the derivation, description, integration, and use of semantics (“meaning”, "context", “intention”) for all types of resource including data, document, tool, device, process and people. The scope of ICSC2021 includes, but is not limited to, analytics, semantics description languages and integration (of data and services), interfaces, and applications.

The technical program of the 15th IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing (ICSC 2021) will include workshops, invited keynotes, paper presentations, panel discussions, poster sessions, and more. Submissions of high-quality papers describing mature results or ongoing work are invited.

Regular papers should be no longer than eight (8) pages, industry and concise papers should be no longer than four (4) pages, and posters should be no longer than two (2) pages. Authors are invited to submit technical paper manuscript in double-column IEEE format following the guidelines available on the ICSC2021 web page. Papers (4 to 8 pages) are also invited for the resource track. The conference proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press. Distinguished quality papers presented at the conference will be selected for publication in internationally renowned journals (SCI, EI, and/or Scoups indexed). ICSC2021 will also select and present a best paper award, a best student paper award, and a best student opponent award.
