Call for Papers
========================================================

OVERVIEW
========================================================
ESWC is one of the key academic conferences to present research results and new developments in the area of the Semantic Web. For its 13th edition, ESWC will be back in Hersonissou, Crete, between Sunday May 29th and Thursday June 2nd 2016.
The goal of the Semantic Web is to create a network of data and knowledge that interconnect across the Web and where both content and the meaning of content are manipulated by processes, services and applications. This endeavor naturally draws from and impact on many disciplines of computing (and connected areas), related to data and information management, knowledge engineering, machine intelligence, human knowledge and languages, softwares services and applications. We are therefore seeking contribution to research at the intersection of the Semantic Web and these areas, as described in the 9 core research tracks of the conferences, as well as demonstration of the impact of Semantic Web Technologies in concrete application and the industry, through the “In Use and Industrial” Track.
In addition to the main focus on advances in Semantic Web research and technologies, ESWC 2016 is looking to broaden the Semantic Web research community’s understanding and focus on current key areas directly affecting the development of the Semantic Web, namely: Trust, Privacy, Smart Cities and GeoSpatial Data. The conference therefore also includes 2 additional research tracks focusing on these specific aspects.
Indeed, through the interaction between Semantic Web technologies the Internet of Things and the Smart Cities the Semantic Web has the potential to reach beyond the borders of the traditional Web into the everyday life of people around the world. This puts a special attention on urban and geographical information, and on applications that can benefit from the meaningful exploitation of such data, as interconnected with other, heterogeneous and distributed data regarding all aspects of the life of a city (transport, health, education, energy, water, etc).
Such a broadening of the application and impact of Semantic Web technologies also emphasises the challenges posed to privacy and the trust relationship between agents (humans or machines) on the Web. While it is becoming crucial for such technologies, often employed to share, disseminate and integrate data from various sources, to become more privacy aware, we are also looking for research and concrete development in which semantics and the ability to interconnect information from across the web can support users in managing, assessing and enforcing privacy and trust in their activities.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION
========================================================
ESWC 2016 welcomes the submission of original research and application papers dealing with all aspects of representing and using semantics on the Web. We encourage theoretical, methodological, empirical, and applications papers. Submitted papers should describe original work, present significant results, and provide rigorous, principled, and repeatable evaluation. We strongly encourage and appreciate the submission of papers incorporating links to data sets and other material used for evaluation as well as to live demos and software source code. ESWC will not accept research papers that, at the time of submission, are under review for or have already been published in or accepted for publication in a journal or another conference. The proceedings of this conference will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

Papers should not exceed fifteen (15) pages in length and must be formatted according to the guidelines for LNCS authors. Papers must be submitted in PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format) format. Papers that exceed 15 pages or do not follow the LNCS guidelines will be automatically rejected without a review. Each paper will be submitted in two steps: an abstract first and the full paper one week later. The abstract submission is compulsory for every full paper submitted. Abstracts alone will not be reviewed and only fully submitted papers will be considered. Authors of accepted papers will be required to provide semantic annotations for the abstract of their submission - details of this process will be given on the conference Web page at the time of acceptance. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference. More information about the Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) are available on the Springer LNCS Web site.

Submissions and reviewing will be supported by the EasyChair system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eswc2016
