CALL FOR PAPERS


The 5th Joint International Semantic Technology Conference (JIST 2015)

http://www.jist2015.org/

November 11-13, 2015 (Wed - Fri)
Yichang, China

Submission deadline extension (Final): August 26, 2015

Recommendation to SCI Journals

The best (candidate) papers of JIST2015 will be invited to present at the
Meet the Editor session of the following SCI indexed journals (more SCI
indexed journal will be added soon):

1. International Journal on Semantic Web and Information Systems (IJSWIS)
2. Frontiers of Computer Science in China

Selection criteria: for papers submitted to the research track and the
in-use track, we will select 4-6 best paper candidates based on reviewers'
recommendation. During the conference, authors of the selected papers will
propose extensions of their JIST2015 papers and get feedbacks from journal
editors (and possibly the PC chairs of JIST2015).

**********


The Joint International Semantic Technology Conference (JIST) is a regional
federation of Semantic Technology related conferences. The mission of JIST
is to bring together researchers in Semantic Technology research community
and other areas of semantic related technologies to present their
innovative research results or novel applications of semantic technologies.

JIST 2015, under the theme “Semantics for Big Data”, solicits the
submission of original research papers on Semantic Web and other semantic
technologies, as well as papers on applications of semantic technologies.

* Submission

Submissions to JIST 2015 should describe original, significant research on
the semantic technologies. Submissions to JIST 2015 are expected to present
their claimed contribution, with clear evidence to support their claims.
All submissions will be critically reviewed by at least three members of
the program committee. To assess submissions, reviewers will judge their
relevance to semantic technologies, their originality, the technical
soundness of their proposed approach and the readability of the submission.

Submissions must be in PDF format, using the style of the Springer
Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
Submissions must be no longer than *16* pages for REGULAR TECHNICAL
SESSIONS. Submissions that exceed this limit may be rejected without
review. JIST 2015 will not accept submissions that are under review for or
have already been published in or accepted for publication in a journal or
another conference. Accepted papers will be published in an LNCS
post-proceedings.

Papers can be submitted electronically via
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jist2015.
