* Submission
Submissions to JIST 2012 should describe original, significant research on the semantic technologies. Submissions to JIST 2012 are expected to present their claimed contribution, with clear evidence to support their claims. All submissions will be critically reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. To assess submissions, reviewers will judge their relevance to semantic technologies, their originality, the technical soundness of their proposed approach and the readability of the submission.
Submissions must be in PDF format, using the style of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Submissions must be no longer than *16* pages for REGULAR TECHNICAL SESSIONS and *6* pages for IN-USE TRACK.
Submissions that exceed this limit may be rejected without review. JIST 2012 will not accept submissions that are under review for or have already been published in or accepted for publication in a journal or another conference.
The proceedings will be published as a book in Lecture Note for Computer Science (LNCS) by Springer.

All submissions be submitted via EasyChair at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jist2012

Accepted papers will be distributed to conference attendees and also published by Springer in the printed conference proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper there.
