5th European Semantic Web Conference
01 - 05 June 2008
Tenerife (Spain)
http://www.eswc2008.org/


The ESWC is the leading European Conference on Theory, Practice and Applications of Semantic Web Technologies, constantly attracting a high number of high quality submissions and participants from academia and industry.

Besides the research paper and poster tracks, ESWC asks for demonstrations of semantic web systems and applications. This includes applications, demonstrations of innovative technologies or infrastructures that support the deployment of semantic web applications in any area covered by topics of interest for ESWC'08.

To submit a demo to ESWC'08, the authors are requested to submit a demo description. The description must be submitted as a PDF file; it must be formatted in LNCS style, and it must be no longer than 5 pages maximum.

The demo descriptions will be published as part of the ESWC'08 proceedings. As such, quality assurance will be strict, and the demos will be subject to review by a separate Programme Committee. All demos must show relevance, novelty and significance. The descriptions should contain sections answering the following questions, as appropriate:
1. What is the research background and application context of the demonstration?
2. What is the employed key technology, and how does it relate to pre-existing work?
3. What exactly will be demonstrated?
4. What exactly will a visitor of the demonstration learn?

Submission and reviewing of demo descriptions will be electronic via the ESWC'08 Demo EasyChair installation at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eswc08demo

In order to submit, you need to have an EasyChair account. If you do not already have such an account, you can create one by clicking on "I have no EasyChair account".
