SCOPE
Since the cornerstone article "The Semantic Web" by Tim Berners-Lee, James Hendler and Ora Lassila, thanks to the conjunction of both academic and industrial efforts, many theoretical results have been produced, languages and technologies implemented, frameworks proposed and scenarios hypothesized in order to go from a "web of links" towards a "web of meanings".
In spite of an initial skepticism about the Semantic Web initiative, promising prototypes and tools have been developed, both exploiting and boosting Semantic Web technologies.
Relevant applications and scenarios include, among others:
- semantic matchmakers
- semantic web portals
- semantic social networks
- semantic web services
- ontology mappers and mergers
- ontology browsers
- e-science
- e-business
- e-commerce, e-negotiation, e-marketplace
- e-learning
- folksonomies and collaborative tagging
- semantic based multimedia sources categorization and classification
- supply chain management
- semantic-based user interfaces
- PIM, user profiling
- mobile computing
- ubiquitous computing
The aim of this KES'07 session is to gather researchers from various fields in order to present the most prominent engineered prototypes and
tools successfully exploiting semantic web technologies and approaches. They must be able either to solve issues that would be unfeasible
/ much harder without semantics or to help the development and circulation of Semantic Web related technologies as well as to be reused in
different contexts (not necessarily the web).

SUBMISSION
Papers are invited from authors with interests on the indicated scope and related areas of application.
The conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in Lecture Notes in AI as part of the LNCS/LNAI series.
When formatting papers, please refer to the Springer-Verlag web site, and strictly follow the Instructions to LNCS Authors.
Please note that the required paper length is eight pages in Springer format. Papers longer than this will be subject to a penalty charge.
Papers very much longer or shorter than the required length may be rejected.
To ensure high quality, all papers will be thoroughly reviewed by the SWEA Programme Committee.
Papers may be rejected without being sent to the reviewers if they are too long.
Papers may be rejected without being reviewed if it is judged that they do not lie sufficiently within the scope of the conference.
All oral and poster papers must be presented by one of the authors who must register for the conference and pay the fee. Authors are not encouraged to submit multiple papers, and authors will be restricted to one paper per registration.
Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in the KES Journal (International Journal of Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Engineering Systems) published by IOS Press, see KES Journal
