Call for papers


Announcing the NEW journal "Web Semantics: Science, Services and Agents on the World Wide Web".

This new interdisciplinary journal focuses on research at the intersection of three major research areas: semantic web, agent technology and grid computing. We call this interdisciplinary field Web semantics. Web semantics investigates and develops the standards, ontology's, protocols and technology that contribute to the development of a knowledge-intensive and intelligent service Web. This is often referred to as the second generation of the Web.

The journal not only provides a forum for theoretical and experimental papers by academic and industrial researchers and developers in the area of computer science, but also aims at reaching a more application oriented audience like information specialists or researchers and developers from the Internet-industry.

The editorial board has been carefully selected and consists of the world's leading researchers from the areas of semantic web, agent technology and grid computing.

Author versions of papers will be published immediately after acceptance on the web site of the journal <http://www.ProcessRequest.com/apps/redir.asp?link=XbecjcieDA,ZcabecjjbeDC&oid=UddfaBB&iclitemid=XbedeajaCB&tid=WbcgciaBJ> , which will also allow for semantic annotations and linking of additional non-textual material to the article. The official and final version of the articles will be published on Science Direct <http://www.ProcessRequest.com/apps/redir.asp?link=XbecjcifDB,ZcabecjjbeDC&oid=UddfaBB&iclitemid=XbedeajaCB&tid=WbcgciaBJ> , Elsevier's electronic publication platform and on ComputerScienceWeb <http://www.ProcessRequest.com/apps/redir.asp?link=XbecjcigDC,ZcabecjjbeDC&oid=UddfaBB&iclitemid=XbedeajaCB&tid=WbcgciaBJ> Elsevier's computer science portal.
Web Semantics has free electronic access until the end of 2003.

Aims and Scope
Web Semantics: Science, Services and Agents on the World Wide Web is an interdisciplinary journal based on research and applications of various subject areas that contribute to the development of a knowledge-intensive and intelligent service Web. These areas include: knowledge technologies, ontology, agents, databases and the semantic grid. Obviously, disciplines like information retrieval, language technology, human-computer interaction and knowledge discovery are of major relevance as well. All aspects of the Semantic Web development are covered. The publication of large-scale experiments and their analysis is also encouraged to clearly illustrate scenarios and methods that introduce semantics into existing Web interfaces, contents and services. The journal emphasizes the publication of papers that combine theories, methods and experiments from different subject areas in order to deliver innovative semantic methods and applications.

The journal addresses various prominent application areas including: e-community, knowledge management, e-learning, e-business, digital libraries and e-sciences.
The journal publishes high quality papers that cover theoretical issues, methods, tools, system descriptions and applications. Papers should be normal journal-length or short, descriptive papers e.g. systems or applications. Special sections will cover conference and workshop reports as well as book reviews.


The journal features a multi-purpose web site <http://www.ProcessRequest.com/apps/redir.asp?link=XbecjcieDA,ZcabecjjbeDC&oid=UddfaBB&iclitemid=XbedeajaCB&tid=WbcgciaBJ> . Accepted papers are immediately available online (associated with appropriate metadata) and readers are able to annotate documents with additional comments and links to related material. The unique character of the journal makes it possible to extend the scope beyond traditional journals. Open-source software and tools that help to advance the field more rapidly, will be published and demonstrated based on a rigorous review and selection process. Submissions are especially encouraged that demonstrate the amalgamation of papers and code-content that goes beyond the range of traditional print journals.

The web site itself is also available to interested researchers as a test site for developing and refining Semantic Web technologies and for conduction of user studies (please contact the Online Editor-in-Chief for further information).

The Journal of Web Semantics includes, but is not limited to, the following major technology areas:
