CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
The Sixth IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing (ICSC2012)
continues to foster the growth of a new research community. The
conference builds on the success of the past ICSC conferences as an
international forum for researchers and practitioners to present
research that advances the state of the art and practice of Semantic
Computing, as well as identifying emerging research topics and defining
the future of the field. The event is located in Palermo, Italy on the
Piazza borsa hotel. The technical program of ICSC2012 includes
workshops, invited keynotes, paper presentations, panel discussions,
industrial "show and tells", demonstrations, and more. Submissions of
high-quality papers describing mature results or on-going work are invited.
The main goal of the conference is to foster the dialog between experts
in each sub-discipline. Therefore we especially encourage submissions of
work that is interesting to multiple areas, such as multimodal approaches.
