Introduction
The Semantic Web is currently one of the most interesting and ambitious
technological challenges. The Semantic Web is a vision: the idea of
having data on the web defined and linked in a way that they
can be used by machines - and hopefully by people as well - not just
for display purposes, but for automation, integration and reuse of
information across various applications.
This project has already attracted a lot of attention and investments,
as proved by the interest it got in the VI Framework Programme of the
European Commission. In particular, the goal of providing semantics and
automated reasoning capabilities to the Web involved research in many
areas, SUCH as Artificial Intelligence, Databases, Software
Engineering, Distributed Computing and Information Systems. After years
of international efforts, the core concepts and philosophy of the
Semantic Web are still a matter of debate, and a lot of research and
implementation work needs to be done in order to prove and exploit the
great potential of the semantic web vision.
This two-day workshop aims at creating the possibility for a meeting
and a debate between Italian and international researchers on Semantic
Web.
Audience
The workshop aims at being the Italian meeting table for researchers, developers and interested people. However, contributions and participants from other countries are expected and very welcome.
Submission Requirements
We encourage submissions from researchers and practitioners in
academia, industry, government, and consulting. Students, researchers
and practitioners are invited to submit an abstract (max. 1000 words)
describing their work. Abstracts must be in English. Accepted formats
are Postscript and PDF.
Abstracts must be submitted electronically at the address:
http://trinity.dit.unitn.it/vikef/openconf
Accepted contributions will be included in a volume of working notes
and distributed in a CD with ISBN. Papers must be formatted according
to the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Guidelines (see

).
The maximum length of the full paper for SWAP is between 10 and 12 pages.
The workshop working notes and the CD will be distributed to
participants.
