Call for Papers

Seventh IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing
IEEE ICSC2013
September 16th-18th, 2013, Irvine, CA, USA
http://www.ieee-icsc.org/

Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society

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,
tutorials, 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.
Please refer to the conference website for further information:
