[apologies for mulitple postings]
CALL FOR PAPERS
3rd Asian Semantic Web Conference 2008 (ASWC 2008)
Pathumthani, Thailand, 8th-11th December 2008
A number of prominent members of the Semantic Web community are now 
beginning to claim that the Semantic Web has arrived. Semantic Web 
search engines now index tens of thousands of ontologies and the term 
'Semantic Web' regularly appears in the mainstream news and culture. 
Additionally, the number of Semantic Web events attracting several 
hundred attendees grows larger every year and industrial interest 
includes the majority of the large software and service companies.
The 3rd Asian Semantic Web Conference (ASWC 2008) will present the 
latest research and development of the Semantic Web and its related 
technologies. It will bring together researchers in relevant 
disciplines such as artificial intelligence, knowledge modeling, 
logic, databases, social networks, Web services, distributed 
computing, Web engineering, information systems, natural language 
processing, multimedia, and human-computer interaction.
ASWC2008 will include a Research Track, a Semantic Web in Use Track, a 
Poster and Demonstration Track. ASWC2008 also encourages the 
submission of proposals for workshops and tutorials.
Submissions
The Research Track solicits the submission of original, principled 
research papers dealing with theoretical, methodological, empirical 
and application-related aspects of the Semantic Web. The Semantic Web 
in Use Track solicits the submission of innovative and practical 
application papers which take into account real-world requirements. 
All papers should clearly demonstrate relevance to the Semantic Web - 
fully taking into account aspects related to both semantics and the Web.
The proceedings of ASWC 2008 will be published in Springer's Lecture 
Notes in Computer Science series. Paper submission and reviewing will 
be electronic via the conference submissions site. Papers should not 
exceed 15 pages in length and must be formatted according to the 
information for LNCS authors.
Topics include but are not limited to the following:
Semantic Web Technologies
