Semantics and Big Data May 26th, 2013 to May 30th, 2013 in Montpellier, France

ESWC 2013
The ESWC 2013 takes place from May 26th, 2013 to May 30th, 2013 in Montpellier, France.

The ESWC is a major venue for discussing the latest scientific results
and technology innovations around semantic technologies. Building on its
past success, ESWC is seeking to broaden its focus to span other
relevant research areas in which Web semantics plays an important role.

The goal of the Semantic Web is to create a Web of knowledge and
services in which the semantics of ******* is made explicit and *******
is linked to both other ******* and services novel applications allowing
to combine ******* from heterogeneous sites in unforeseen ways and
support enhanced matching between users needs and *******. This network
of knowledge-based functionality will weave together a large network of
human knowledge, and make this knowledge machine-processable to support
intelligent behaviour by machines. Creating such an interlinked Web of
knowledge which spans unstructured, RDF as well as multimedia *******
and services requires the collaboration of many disciplines, including
but not limited to: Artificial Intelligence, Natural ********
Processing, Database and Information Systems, Information Retrieval,
Machine Learning Multimedia, Distributed Systems, Social Networks, Web
Engineering, and Web Science. These complementarities are reflected in
the outline of the technical program of the ESWC 2013; in addition to
the research and in-use tracks, we will feature two special tracks
putting particular emphasis on inter-disciplinary research topics and
areas that show the potential of exciting synergies for the future,
eGovernment and Digital Libraries. ESWC 2013 will present the latest
results in research, technologies and applications in its field. Besides
the technical program organized over twelve tracks, the conference will
feature a workshop and tutorial program, system descriptions and demos,
a posters exhibition, a doctoral symposium, as well as the ESWC summer
school, which will be held prior to the conference.
