3rd European Semantic Web Conference
 

The 3rd Annual European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2006) will
present the latest results in research and application in semantic web
technologies (including knowledge mark-up languages, semantic web
services, ontology management and more). ESWC 2006 will also feature a
special industry-oriented event providing European industry with an
opportunity to become even more familiar with these technologies. It
will offer a tutorial program to get up to speed with European and
global developments in this exciting new area.

Submissions

ESWC 2006 welcomes the submission of excellent original research and
application papers dealing with all aspects of the semantic web,
particularly those relating to the subject areas indicated by the
topics below. We particularly encourage the submission of papers
relating to industrial efforts and experiences with semantic web
projects. We also encourage theoretical, methodological, empirical and
applications papers.

The proceedings of this conference will be published in Springer's
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Paper submission and
reviewing for ESWC 2006 will be electronic, via the conference WWW
site: http://www.eswc2006.org/. Papers, due to November 28th, 2005,
should not exceed fifteen (15) pages in Springer LNCS format.
