Call for Papers
This workshop is aimed at two different areas of research - (i) policy-based frameworks for the semantic web for security, privacy, trust, information filtering, accountability, etc. and (ii) the applicability of semantic web technologies in policy frameworks for other application domains such as grid computing, networking, storage systems, and describing norms for multiagent systems. This workshop would like to bring together not only researchers and developers but also users of policy systems in both these areas in an attempt to understand the scope of semantic web based policy frameworks and their usefulness. Topic of interest include:
This workshop is of interest to both researchers working on policy solutions for the semantic web and to policy researchers of other domains that use semantic web technologies. We believe that the two communities will greatly benefit from this interaction - the former will develop a greater understanding of policy mechanisms and approaches and the latter a better understanding of semantic web technologies. VenueThe Semantic Web and Policy Workshop (SWPW) will be held as part of ISWC2005 in Galway, Ireland.Types of papersWe seek two kinds of papers: research papers that report on the results of original research and short papers that articulate a position, describe an application or demonstrate a working language or system. Both research papers and short papers will be included in the workshop proceedings. Research papers should describe original research not published elsewhere and should not exceed eight pages in length. Short papers are expected to be four to six pages. Short position papers should provide insight into the requirements for, or challenges of, developing or applying policies for web-based information systems. Short application papers should describe an implemented novel use of policies in a web-based environment. Short demonstration papers should document a implemented system or language that uses policies. Each submission should indicate the type of paper being submitted: research, position, application or demonstration.Submission details and deadlinesPapers must be submitted electronically through the SWPW web site by 25 July 2005. Decisions will be announced on 5 September and final camera ready copy must be submitted by 30 September.ProgramSWPW will be a one day workshop consisting of invited talk(s), presentations of submitted papers, and (probably) a panel as well as time for discussion.Workshop Co-ChairsLalana Kagal, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Program CommitteeAnne Anderson, Sun MicrosystemsVijay Atluri, Rutgers University Arosha Bandara, Imperial College Jeremy Carroll, HP labs Dan Connolly, W3C Lorrie Cranor, CMU Naranker Dulay, Imperial College Tim Finin, UMBC Benjamin Grosof, MIT Jim Hendler, UMCP Lalana Kagal, MIT Jonathan Moffett, University of York Rebecca Montanari, University of Bologna Wolfgang Nejdl, L3S and University of Hannover Daniel Olmedilla, L3S Bijan Parsia, UMCP Eric Prud'hommeaux, W3C Norman Sadeh, CMU Babak Sadighi, Swedish Institute of Computer Science Stefan Poslad, Queen Mary, University of London Kent Seamons, BYU Anna Squicciarini, Purdue William Winsborough, GMU Mahesh Tripunitara, Purdue For more informationFor more information, contact one of the workshop chairs. |
