SEMANTiCS’18 proceedings will be published as Open Access by Elsevier Procedia Computer Science.
The annual SEMANTiCS conference is the meeting place for professionals who make semantic computing work, understand its benefits, and encounter its limitations. Every year, SEMANTiCS attracts information managers, IT-architects, software engineers and researchers from a wide spectrum of organisations ranging from SMEs and non-profit organizations, to public administration bodies, to the largest companies in the world. Attendees learn from industry experts and top researchers about emerging trends and topics in the fields of semantic software, including enterprise data, linked data & open data strategies, methodologies in knowledge modelling and text & data analytics. The SEMANTiCS community is highly diverse; attendees routinely interlinking areas such as knowledge management, technical documentation, e-commerce, big data analysis, enterprise search, document management, business intelligence and enterprise vocabulary management.
Given the success of last year’s conference in Amsterdam, which attracted more than 370 attendees from 28 countries, SEMANTiCS 2018 is bound to continue a long tradition of bringing together a community from around the world. There will be presentations on industry implementations, use case prototypes, best practices, panels, papers and posters to discuss semantic systems in a broad range of regular as well as informal settings. SEMANTiCS addresses problems common among information managers, software engineers, IT-architects and various specialist departments working to develop, implement and evaluate semantic software systems. The SEMANTiCS program will provide a rich mix of technical talks, panel discussions on emerging topics and presentations by people who make things work - just like you. In addition, attendees will have a unique opportunity to network with experts in a variety of fields. These relationships provide great value to organisations as they encounter technical challenges in any stage of implementation. The expertise gained by SEMANTiCS attendees has a long-term impact on their careers and organisations. These factors make SEMANTiCS the key event across Europe for a diverse community of industry leaders and academic experts alike. Following the success of the previous year, this year’s SEMANTiCS will also again feature a special Data Science track, which offer a unique opportunity to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the intersection of Semantic Technologies, Linked Data and Data Science and provide a platform to present their ideas and discuss the most important scientific, technical and socio-economic challenges in this emerging field.
