The ISWC 2024 Posters and Demos Track offers an opportunity to present late-breaking research results, ongoing research or resource projects, and speculative or innovative work in progress.
The informal setting of the Posters and Demos Track encourages presenters and participants to discuss their work. These discussions can be invaluable inputs for the presenters’ future work and will offer participants an effective way to broaden their knowledge of emerging research trends and to network with other researchers.
Important Dates
Posters & demos submissions due (deadline extended): July 9, 2024
Author notifications: August 23, 2024
Camera-ready submissions due: August 30, 2024
Topics of Interest
We invite submissions relevant to the areas of Semantic Web, Knowledge Graphs, and Linked Data, which address, but are not limited to, the topics of the Research Track, the Resources Track, the In-Use Track, and the Industry Track. Visionary ideas, position statements, negative results, and outrageous ideas are also welcome.
- Posters that describe the Semantic Web, Knowledge Graphs and Linked Data software systems (free or commercial), and ongoing or completed research work are welcome.
- Demonstrations are intended to showcase innovative implementations and technologies on the aforementioned topics arising both from academia and industry.
We welcome submissions from Industry. Those submissions must not have the character of an advertisement or commercial product description and must convey a novel solution to a well-defined problem. Authors of full papers accepted for the Research Track, the Resources Track, and the In-Use Track are encouraged to additionally submit a poster or demonstration about their work to the Posters and Demos track. The submission should be formatted as other submissions to this track. Still, it must also cite the accepted full paper and include a description of how it complements or adds value to the conference paper. The added value could include:
- extended results and experiments not presented in the conference paper for reasons of space or
- a demonstration of a supporting prototype implementation.
Review Criteria
Submissions must clearly demonstrate relevance to the aforementioned topics of interest of ISWC 2024. Decisions about acceptance will be based on the relevance to the topics of interest, originality, potential significance, topicality, and clarity. All submissions to the Posters & Demos Track will be reviewed by at least three program committee members, including those related to the already accepted full papers. The purpose of the track is to allow the presentation of preliminary results to the community, provided that originality and significance of the contribution are ensured. Authors submitting a demonstration are strongly encouraged to include a pointer to an online demo or video of the application to be presented in the paper.
Submission Details
All submissions should follow the single anonymous submission policy (i.e., authors are named, reviewers are anonymous).
Authors must submit an extended abstract for evaluation, following these guidelines:
- All submissions must be in English.
- Submissions must be in PDF.
- Submissions must be formatted in the style of CEURART (https://ceurws.wordpress.com/2020/03/31/ceurws-publishes-ceurart-paper-style/) 1-column style (LNCS is not valid anymore). The title should use the emphasizing capitalized style, and the paper should not include page numbers.
- Poster and demo submissions are at most three pages long, excluding references. Authors will be granted one extra page when preparing their camera-ready version in case of acceptance in order to address the reviewers’ comments.
- Papers that exceed the given page length or do not follow the CEURART guidelines may be rejected without review. Posters and demos accompanying an accepted main track paper must be marked as such and explain the additional value of the poster or demo submission (preferably in the confidential comment through EasyChair). In addition, double submissions to any other conferences, workshops, or tracks of ISWC will be rejected.
- Authors submitting a demonstration are strongly encouraged to include a pointer to an online demo or video of the application to be presented in the paper.
- We require the authors to specify the submission type (whether poster or demo) before the paper’s first section (e.g., immediately after the abstract).
All submissions must be made electronically via EasyChair following this link.
Conference Attendance and presentation format
At least one of the authors must register for the main conference and attend the Poster and Demo Session to present the work. The abstracts of accepted posters and demonstrations will be published on the conference website and compiled into a CEUR Workshop Proceedings for Web retrieval and archiving. The metadata for all accepted submissions will be included in the conference metadata corpus. Detailed information about metadata creation will be provided with the acceptance notification of the successful submissions.
The presentation format for accepted Posters will be a physical poster. For demos, authors are also asked to present a physical poster together with their on-site demo.
