#SEMANTiCS 2016 Scientific Workshops Scope & Goals
SEMANTiCS 2016 scientific workshops provide a forum for groups of
researchers and practitioners to discuss topics in semantic web research
and industrial applications. They provide opportunities for researchers
and practitioners to exchange and discuss scientific and engineering
ideas before these ideas have matured to warrant conference or journal
publication. SEMANTiCS 2016 scientific workshops also serve as
incubators for scientific communities that form and share a particular
research agenda.
The workshops may be either half or full day long and will be held on
the day before the main SEMANTiCS 2016 conference (September 12th,
2016). Participation in SEMANTiCS 2016 scientific workshops is typically
free. The workshops can produce workshop proceedings to be published in
CEUR Workshop Proceedings (
http://ceur-ws.org/). The best accepted
workshop papers will be considered for publication in the SEMANTiCS 2016
conference proceedings, furthermore, a selection of workshop papers will
be invited to present a poster at the SEMANTiCS 2016 conference.

#About SEMANTiCS
The annual SEMANTiCS conference is the meeting place for researchers and
professionals who push the boundaries of semantic computing and who
understand its benefits and encounter its limitations. Every year,
SEMANTiCS attracts professionals and researchers alike ranging from
NPOs, through public administrations to the largest companies in the
world. SEMANTiCS workshop attendees learn from industry experts and top
researchers about emerging trends and hot topics in the fields of
semantic software, enterprise data, linked data & open data strategies,
methodologies in knowledge modelling and text & data analytics. Since
the SEMANTiCS community is highly diverse, both workshops participants
and organisers will benefit from the experience.
The success of last year’s conference in Vienna with more than 280
attendees from 22 countries proves that SEMANTiCS 2016 will continue a
long tradition of bringing together colleagues from around the world.
There will be presentations on industry implementations, use case
prototypes, best practices, panels, papers and posters to discuss
semantic systems in birds-of-a-feather sessions as well as informal
settings. SEMANTiCS addresses problems common among information
managers, software engineers, IT-architects and various specialist
departments working to develop, implement and/or evaluate semantic
software systems.
The SEMANTiCS program is a rich mix of technical talks, panel
discussions of important topics and presentations by people who make
things work - just like you. In addition, attendees can network with
experts in a variety of fields. These relationships provide great value
to organisations as they encounter subtle technical issues in any stage
of implementation. The expertise gained by SEMANTiCS attendees has a
long-term impact on their careers and organisations. These factors make
SEMANTiCS the major industry related event across Europe for our community.
