FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

3rd Asian Semantic Web Conference 2008 (ASWC 2008)
Bangkok, Thailand, 8th-11th December 2008
http://www.aswc2008.org

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 realworld 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
(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0).
