Call for Contributions for the PhD Symposium
KWEPSY2007 KnowledgeWeb PhD Symposium Innsbruck, Austria 6th June, 200 http://ontoworld.org/wiki/KWEPSY2007 The Knowledge Web PhD Symposium aims at bringing together doctoral students within the Semantic Web community to open their work up to discussion in a European forum, and to obtain valuable feedback from leading scientists in the field. However, in contrast with other similar initiatives, participants to the symposium will not only receive constructive comments with respect to topic-specific research issues; they will also be assisted in formulating a coherent research narrative for their doctoral work. In particular, students will be asked to submit an extended abstract, structured in accordance to a pre-defined template, which has been designed to highlight the key methodological components required for a sound research narrative. Generally speaking, priority will be given to 1st/2nd year PhD students (because they are still in the process of defining the scope of their research). However, all PhD students are welcome and encouraged to apply. Just as in 2006 [KWEPSY 2006], the 2nd Symposium will be co-located with the 4th Annual European Semantic Web Conference. It is scheduled for the 6th of June 2007.
Call for Contributions Though organized under the umbrella of Knowledge Web, the symposium is open to all PhD students carrying out research on topics related to the Semantic Web. The applicants are required to send an extended abstract of their doctoral work, which should address the following aspects:
All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the scientific advisory board. The submissions will be reviewed against the following criteria (in this order):
