The field of Semantic Computing addresses the derivation of semantic
information from content and the connection of semantics to knowledge, where
"content" may be anything including structured data, video, audio, text,
hardware, software, process, etc.

The Seventh IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing (ICSC 2013)
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 Irvine, California at Irvine Hyatt. The technical program of ICSC
2013 includes workshops, invited keynotes, paper presentations, panel
discussions, industrial 'show and tells', demonstrations, and
more. Submissions of high-quality papers describing mature results or
ongoing 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.
