Sponsored by
IEEE Computer Society
in cooperation with
University

The field Semantic Computing applies technologies in
natural language processing, data and knowledge engineering, software
engineering, computer systems and networks, signal processing and pattern
recognition, and any combination of the above to extract, access, transform
and synthesize the semantics (contents) of multimedia, texts, services and
structured data.
The IEEE International Conference on Semantic
Computing (ICSC2007) is an international forum for researchers to exchange
information regarding advancements in the state of the art and practice of
semantic computing, as well as to identify the emerging research topics and
define the future of semantic computing. The technical program of ICSC2007
will consist of invited talks, paper presentations, and panel
discussions.

The Conference Proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society
Press and all papers are EI indexed. A number of the papers presented at the conference will be
selected for possible publications in journals.
ICSC2007 will also include a few workshops and special sessions dedicated to focused interest
areas. Submissions of proposals on workshops and special sessions
of emerging areas are
invited. Full length papers from Workshops and Special Sessions will be presented at ICSC2007, and included in the
Proceedings. Please visit the conference website for detailed guidelines on
submitting workshop and special
session
proposals.
Submissions of proposals on panels are also encouraged. Short panel summary articles
may also be included in the conference proceedings. Guidelines for submitting
panel proposals are available on the conference
website.
There will be a Best Paper Award and a Best
Student Paper Award for the best submitted paper and the best
submitted student paper. The award winners will be announced at the
conference banquet.
