CALL FOR PARTICPATION
Fifth International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2006)
November 5 - 9, 2006
Athens, Georgia, USA
http://iswc2006.semanticweb.org
The dream of the Web was to create a human communication and
collaboration platform for sharing knowledge and enabling a universal
space for information and services. We all are now much more
connected, and in turn face new resulting problems: service and
information overload caused by insufficient support for information
selection, organization and collaboration. The Semantic Web, by
providing standards for formulating and distributing metadata and
ontologies, enables means for information organization and selective
access. However, the Semantic Web requires new infrastructure on all
levels - e.g., human-computer interaction, expressive representation
and query languages, reasoning engines, data representation and
integration, interoperability middleware, and distributed computing.
To foster the exchange of ideas and collaboration, the International
Semantic Web Conference brings together researchers in relevant
disciplines such as artificial intelligence, databases, distributed
computing, web engineering, information systems, and human-computer
interaction.
The Fifth International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2006) follows
on the success of previous conferences and workshops in Galway,
Ireland (2005), Hiroshima, Japan (2004), Sanibel Island, USA
(2003), Sardinia, Italy (2002), and Stanford, USA (2001).
