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.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText">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.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText">ASWC2008 will include a Research Track, a Semantic Web in Use Track, a Poster and Demonstration Track.<span> </span>ASWC2008 also encourages the submission of proposals for workshops and tutorials.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Submissions<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText">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.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText">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.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Topics include but are not limited to the following:<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Semantic Web Technologies<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Query Languages and Optimization for the Semantic Web<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Rule Languages, Logics and Scalable Reasoning on the Semantic Web<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Tools and Methodologies for Large Scale Semantic Web Data Management<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Machine learning and human language technologies for the Semantic Web<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Semantic Web Content Creation<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Database Technologies for the Semantic Web<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Semantic Web Services<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Languages, Tools and Methodologies for Semantic Web Services (description, discovery, invocation, composition, choreography)<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Semantic Descriptions of Enterprise Processes<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Semantics Applied to Mashups and Adhoc Service Aggregations<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Semantic Web Applications<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Applications of Semantic Web (e-Business, e-Science, e-Health, e-Government, e-Learning, e-Culture)<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Case Studies of Semantic Web Applications<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Personalization and User Modeling<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Semantics in P2P Computing and the Grid<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Semantic Web-based Knowledge Management<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Semantic Web, Multimedia, and Human Computer Interaction<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Social Semantic Web<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Semantic Web and Social Networks and Processes<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Semantic Web Technologies for Collaboration and Cooperation<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Trust, Provenance, Security, Privacy, Identity and the Semantic Web<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Ontologies<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Ontology Modeling<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Ontology Management (creation, evolution, evaluation)<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Ontology Alignment (mapping, matching, merging, mediation and reconciliation)<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Ontology Learning and Metadata Generation<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Ontology Searching and Ranking<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText">***Important Dates***<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>15 July 2008 <span> </span>Paper Submission<span> </span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>10 September 2008 <span> </span>Notification of Acceptance<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>25 September 2008 <span> </span>Camera Ready<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>8-11 December 2008 <span> </span>Conference in Thailand<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Organizing Committee<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Conference Chairs:<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>Jerome Euzenat, INRIA Rhone-Alpes, France<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span> </span>R.
