28 Jun '21

20th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2021) Virtual, October 24-28, 2021 https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org In this announcement: 1. Call for Research papers 2. Call for In-Use papers 3. Call for Resource papers 4. Call for Doctoral Consortium papers 1. Call for Research papers ******************************************* In this track of ISWC 2021, we are looking for novel and significant research contributions addressing theoretical, analytical and empirical aspects of the Semantic Web. While we welcome work that relates to the W3C Semantic Web recommendations (e.g., RDF, OWL, SPARQL, etc.), we also encourage contributions to research at the intersection of the Semantic Web and other scientific disciplines. Submissions to the research track should describe original, significant, and replicable research on the Semantic Web. All papers must include method evaluations that are rigorous, repeatable and reproducible. This will be one of the key reviewing criteria. We also strongly encourage papers that provide links to the data sets, source code and queries used to evaluate their approach, and/or live deployments. Topics of interest and further details: https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org/research-track Track Chairs: - Eva Blomqvist (University of Linköping, Sweden) - Andreas Hotho (University of Würzburg, Germany) Contact: iswc2021-program(a)easychair.org 2. Call for In-Use papers ******************************************* The In-Use track at ISWC 2021 continues the tradition of demonstrating and sharing the increasing adoption of Semantic Web technologies by providing a forum for the community to explore the benefits and challenges of applying such technologies in concrete, practical use cases, beyond the research communities from which they originate, in contexts ranging from industry to government and society. The In-Use track thus seeks submissions describing applied and validated solutions such as software tools, systems or architectures that benefit from the use of Semantic Web technologies (including, but not limited to, technologies based on the Semantic Web standards). Topics of interest and further details: https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org/in-use-call Track Chairs: - Ying Ding (University of Texas at Austin, USA) - Payam Barnaghi (Imperial College London, UK) Contact: iswc2021-in-use(a)easychair.org 3. Call for Resource papers ******************************************* The ISWC 2021 Resources Track aims to promote the sharing of resources which support, enable or utilise semantic web research. Resources include, but not restricted to: datasets, ontologies/vocabularies, ontology design patterns, evaluation benchmarks or methods, software tools/services, APIs and software frameworks, workflows, crowdsourcing task designs, protocols, methodologies and metrics, that have contributed or may contribute to the generation of novel scientific work. In particular, we encourage the sharing of such resources following best and well-established practices within the Semantic Web community. As such, this track calls for contributions that provide a concise and clear description of a resource and its usage. Topics of interest and further details: https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org/resources-track Track Chairs: - Stefan Dietze (GESIS, Cologne & Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf, Germany)_ - Achille Fokoue (IBM Research, Yorktown Heights, NY, USA) ***** Important Dates (common to all paper tracks above) ***** - Abstracts Due: 12 April 2021 - Full Papers Due: 19 April 2021 - Author Rebuttals: 2–6 June 2021 - Notifications: 23 June 2021 4. Call for Doctoral Consortium papers ******************************************* The ISWC 2021 Doctoral Consortium (DC) will provide PhD students with an opportunity to: ● present and discuss their research ideas in a supportive, formative and yet critical environment; ● receive feedback from mentors, typically senior members of the Semantic Web research community, and peers; ● explore career pathways available after completing their PhD degree, and finally ● network and build collaborations with other members of the community. The event is intended for students who are midway through their PhD, therefore at a stage where they have articulated a reasonably detailed research proposal, preferably supported by some preliminary results. The aim is to support the students in refining their proposal and suggest possible ways to improve their research plan and achieve results with prospective greater impact. While doctoral degrees can vary in format and conduct, we aim this Call for Papers to PhD candidates in their second, or early in their third year and who will have already partially investigated some specific problems. Students will be required to submit a paper to the doctoral consortium, structured like a research proposal. All proposals submitted to the Doctoral Consortium will undergo a rigorous review process by the International Programme Committee, who will provide detailed and constructive feedback and select those submissions to be presented at the Doctoral Consortium. If accepted, students will have to register and attend the event, which will include a range of interactive activities. Details: https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org/doctoral-consortium-call DC Chairs: - Miriam Fernandez (Open University, UK) - Valentina Tamma (University of Liverpool, UK) ***** Important Dates (DC track) ***** - Papers due: 3 May, 2021 - Notification to proposers: 31 May 2021 - DC Day: 25 October, 2021 *** All deadlines are AoE (Anywhere on Earth) *** Submission link for all papers: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iswc2021 Follow ISWC on social media: - Twitter: @iswc_conf #iswc_conf (https://twitter.com/iswc_conf) - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/13612370 - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ISWConf The ISWC 2021 Organising Team https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org/organizing-committee

CFP: Special Track on AI for Tackling Dis/Misinformation during Pandemics @ ACM GoodIT2021
by Andrew Zayine 16 Apr '21

16 Apr '21

Call For Papers: Special Track on AI for Tackling Dis/Misinformation during Pandemics In conjunction with the ACM International Conference on Information Technology for Social Good (GoodIT 2021) The GoodIT conference is sponsored by ACM SIGCAS, the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Computers & Society. The conference focuses on the application of IT technologies to social good. The Special Track on AI for Tackling Dis/Misinformation during Pandemics focuses on new data technologies based on artificial intelligence, data governance, machine learning, natural language processing, and social network analysis to aid experts in analyzing large volumes of social media data in order to detect fake news, misinformation, and disinformation. A number of open challenges need more investigation from the research community, such as recent trends in composing information disorder by combining false and real content, the mechanisms that drive fake content diffusion during pandemics, how to differentiate fake content from personal viewpoints, why people tend to believe fake content and make decisions based on it during pandemics, and what are the different motivations behind the dissemination of fake content. Fact-checking and claim verification are two important strategies that are worth incorporating in the automated tackling and curtailment of fake content during and after pandemics. ************ Key Dates ************ Papers Submission Due: May 1, 2021 Authors Notifications: June 22, 2021 Final Manuscript Due: July 10, 2021 GoodIT 2021: September 09-11, 2021 ************ Important Links ************ Special Track Website: https://aitdmp.conceptechint.net Submission Link: https://goodit2021.hotcrp.com/ ************ Submission Guidelines ************ All submissions will be reviewed using a single-blind review process.
