=3D=3D=3D=3D Call for Workshops =3D=3D=3D=3D
http://2014.eswc-conferences.org/important-dates/call-workshops

The organizers of the 11th ESWC 2014 cordially invite you to submit a wor=
kshop proposal. ESWC is a major venue for discussing the latest scientifi=
c results and innovations in the field of semantic technologies on the We=
b and Linked Data, attracting a high number of high quality submissions a=
nd participants from academia and industry alike.

Co-located workshops at ESWC conferences are distinguished meeting points=
 for discussing ongoing work and latest ideas related to semantic technol=
ogies and the Semantic Web. Of particular interest are workshop proposals=
 with an interdisciplinary standpoint, proposals focusing on a specific t=
echnology of general interest, or gathering a sub-community. We encourage=
 the submission of workshop proposals on:
=20
Fundamental problems of the Semantic Web / Linked Data such as ontology m=
ining, heterogeneity, scalability and distribution, uncertainty, etc.
Applications of Semantic Web technologies in specific domains,
Important enabling technologies and their adaptation to the needs of the =
Semantic Web, and
Aspects of Semantic Web research that have been neglected so far,=20
Techniques from other research fields that are of relevance for Semantic =
Web research (e.g., machine learning, NLP, data mining)

General Information and Criteria=20
Each proposal will be reviewed by the members of the workshop programme c=
ommittee, and ranked based on the overall quality of the proposal and the=
 workshop's fit to the conference as detailed below. Their recommendation=
 will determine the final decision on the acceptance/rejection of each pr=
oposal, which is to be taken by the workshop and tutorial chairs as well =
as by the local and the general chair of ESWC 2014.
=20
The criteria for judging the quality of workshop proposals are as follows=
:
=20
Co-located workshops cover topics falling in the general scope of the ESW=
C conference.
Workshops are intended to be genuine interactive events and not mini-conf=
erences.
We welcome workshops with creative structures and organizations that attr=
act various types of contributions and ensure rich interactions.
Workshops should have a clear focus on a specific technology, problem or =
application.
There is potentially a significant community interested in the workshop's=
 topic.
Workshop duration can be half a day or a full day.
We strongly advise having more than one organizer and no more than four, =
preferably from different institutions, bringing different perspectives t=
o the workshop topic.
=20
In case overlapping workshops are proposed, the workshop chair may contac=
t the organisers to discuss the possibility of merging workshops. Please =
note that the duration of a workshop might need to be adjusted based on t=
he overall number of submissions received. Further, workshops that receiv=
e less than 5 submissions or have less than 10 people registered at the e=
arly registration deadline might be canceled.
=20
The organizers of accepted workshops will be responsible for their own re=
viewing process, publicity (e.g., website, timelines and call for papers)=
, and proceedings production. They will be required to closely cooperate =
with the Workshop Chair and the ESWC 2014 local organizers to finalize al=
l organizational details. Workshop attendees must pay the ESWC 2014 works=
hop registration fee, as well as the conference registration fee.

Organizers of workshops and tutorials will get a free registration for wo=
rkshops and tutorials at the pre-conference days, i.e. they will only hav=
e to pay the main conference fee.
