JIST is to bring together researchers in disciplines related to the<br>semantic technology from across the Asia-Pacific Region. JIST 2011<br>incorporates the Asian Semantic Web Conference 2011 (ASWC 2011) and<br>Chinese Semantic Web Conference 2011 (CSWC 2011).<br>

-Natural language Semantic Web interfaces<br>-Information visualisation of Semantic Web data<br><br><br>* Submission<br><br>Submissions to JIST 2011 should describe original, significant research on<br>the semantic technologies. Submissions to JIST 2011 are expected to<br>
present their claimed contribution, with clear evidence to support their<br>claims. All submissions will be critically reviewed by at least three<br>members of the program committee. To assess submissions, reviewers will<br>
judge their relevance to semantic technologies, their originality, the<br>technical soundness of their proposed approach and the readability of the<br>submission. Submissions must be in PDF format, using the style of the<br>
Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).<br>Submissions must be no longer than 16 pages. Submissions that exceed this<br>limit may be rejected without review. JIST 2011 will not accept<br>
submissions that are under review for or have already been published in or<br>accepted for publication in a journal or another conference.<br><br>All submissions be submitted via EasyChair at<br><a href="http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jist2011">http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jist2011</a><br>
<br>Accepted papers will be distributed to conference attendees and also<br>published by Springer in the printed conference proceedings. At least one<br>author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present<br>
the paper there.<br><br><br>* Important Dates<br><br>- Submissions due: August 29, 2011, 23:59 (11:59pm, hard deadline) Hawaii<br>time<br>- Notification: Oct 6, 2011, 23:59 (11:59pm) Hawaii time<br>- Camera ready: October 15, 2011, 23:59 (11:59pm) Hawaii time<br>
