All videos/demonstration proposals must be submitted in CAMERA-READY form by 25 MARCH with notification of acceptance by 2 MAY. Accepted submissions will be collected in adjunct conference proceedings. The adjunct proceedings will be distributed as PDF to the conference participants.

IMPORTANT: ONLY PDF files will be accepted for paper submission. Ensure that the paper submission is in CAMERA-READY form. Please e-mail your submission directly to the chair.

Demos submission and presentation

Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format, up to 1 page in length, and conform to the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscript Format. Demos can be presented with posters during the conference.

Please e-mail your submission directly to the chair, Martin Kusserow (iswc12.demos@iswc.net).

Video submission and presentation

Each research video must be accompanied by a short paper describing the key research contribution. The paper should be written in a way that it can be understood by readers who have not or will not see the video and must be no longer than 1 page in IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscript Format.

To be accepted, a video must be of an appropriate length for the content. We recommend videos to be no longer than 8 minutes.

It must contain no material subject to copyright (i.e., that the authors cannot grant ISWC 2011 the right to redistribute freely), and must be easily comprehensible to English speakers.

An accepted video must be standalone, i.e., the video itself (with audio soundtrack or subtitles) must describe the work sufficiently, without requiring the viewer to read the abstract. Videos will be judged primarily on their communication of interesting research content (assuming appropriate technical quality).

Authors MUST submit A URL TO THE VIDEO (NOT THE VIDEO ITSELF!) and a PDF file of the accompanying short paper to iswc12.videos@iswc.net. Videos must be submitted in one of the following Formats: MPEG1/2, MPEG-4, H2.64.

Please e-mail your submission directly to the chair, Kai Kunze (iswc12.videos@iswc.net).
