ISWC is a major international forum where visionary and state-of-the-art research of all aspects of the Semantic Web are presented.

We’ve changed the required format for posters and demonstration papers from LNCS to ACM format. This allows authors to include more content in the two page papers. The deadline for submissions remains July 25, 2008. See the ISWC 2008 poster and demonstration CFP for more information.

The Semantic Web Science Association (SWSA) has generously contributed 10,000€ for travel grants for Ph.D students to attend the 2008 International Semantic Web Conference. SWSA is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to promote scholarly work in Semantic Web and related fields throughout the world. This gift complements the $20,000 award from the US National Science Foundation for grants for students from US institutions. There will be a single application process for students to apply that will be available on the ISWC 2008 site in July.

The 7th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) has an exciting program of thirteen one-day workshops that will be held on October 26 and 27. The deadlines for submitting papers vary. See the individual workshop pages for detailed information on their scope and structure and for information on submitting papers and participating.

As in past years, the Seventh International Semantic Web Conference will recognize the best student papers submitted to the research track. A short list of candidates will be selected by the track co-chairs and program committee and announced shortly before the conference. The selection of the best student paper from ISWC 2008 will be made from the candidates and announced during the conference.

A student paper is defined as a paper whose first author is a full-time student when the paper is submitted. In order to be considered for this award, a paper should be identified as a student paper when it is submitted by checking off the student paper box.

If your paper qualifies as a student paper, be sure to check off the box when you submit it. Having a paper nominated for this award, let alone selected, is a distinct honor. Plus there will be prizes.

Because some people have found it difficult to find the right submission pages with the current link structure, we decided to feature the links on the front page:

Submissions and reviewing for the different tracks and activities will be managed independently.
