CALL FOR PAPERS The Semantic Web and Applications (SWA) track (https://sites.google.com/view/sac2022-swa/home) in the 37th ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (ACM SAC) 2022. (http://www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2022/) will be held in Brno, Czech Republic. April 25 - April 29, 2022. ACM SYMPOSIUM ON APPLIED COMPUTING For the past thirty one years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world. ACM SAC 2019 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP) and is hosted by University of Cyprus, Cyprus. SEMANTIC WEB AND APPLICATIONS TRACK CALL FOR PAPERS The technical track "The Semantic Web and Applications (SWA)" focuses on the topics related to Semantic Web Technologies and their Applications. The techniques to realize and/or utilize the Semantic Web are discussed in this track. The focus of this track is to present research concerning issues such as: 1) learning/constructing ontologies for Semantic Web applications; 2) utilizing ontologies for data management, integration and interoperability in Semantic web applications; 3) architectures for achieving Semantic Web goals for specific application domains; and 4) improving search techniques (or engines) with Semantic Web technologies. This track aims to tackle research problems and practical applications for the Semantic Web. Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers on the theoretical, technical and practical issues of Semantic Web and its Applications. We are particularly interested in applying Semantic Web technologies to specific application domains (e.g., e-learning, e-business, social network, geographic information system, medical informatics and bioinformatics). Topics include, but are not limited to: Semantic Big Data Semantic interoperability Ontology-enabled interoperability among e-sources Emergent semantics Ontology, Taxonomy, and Folksonomy Schema mapping/matching and integration Learning structures from the Web for Semantic Web-enabled applications Ontology generation/learning Building/utilizing ontologies and knowledge bases Semantics and ontologies in data integration Ontology-enabled search (engines) Semantic Web-enabled search (engines) Semantic web-enabled question answering system Ontology-enabled information retrieval Semantic Web-enabled information retrieval Semantic Web-enabled Information extraction Full-text search in XML and/or Semantic Web documents Resource Description Framework (RDF) Data management and integration for Semantic Web-enabled applications Semantic annotation Semantic Web personalization Semantic Web-enabled user modeling Semantic Web services Reasoning Querying the Semantic Web Semantic Web mining Question Answering over the Semantic Web Text mining for Semantic Web-enabled application Natural language processing for Semantic Web-enabled application Semantic Social Network Semantic Social Informatics Recommendations via Semantic Technologies Semantic Technologies Semantic Knowledge Discovery Visual Analytics with Semantics Data Analytics with Semantics Semantic aspects in Privacy and Security of Semantic Web Applications Semantic aspects in Social Network Semantic aspects in Geographic Information System Geospatial semantics and the Semantic Web Deep learning (or neural network) on semantics Deep learning (or neural network) on NLP Applying Semantic Web technologies to e-learning, e-business, social network, geographic information system, medical informatics, bioinformatics, and legal domains SUBMISSION TYPES Authors are invited to submit original papers. Top papers will be invited to extend and submit it to an international journal. Submissions should fall into the following categories: • Original and unpublished research work • Reports of innovative computing applications in sciences, engineering, and business areas • Reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains • Reports of industrial experience and demos of new innovative systems Each paper will be double-blindly reviewed by at least three reviewers; this is an ACM requirement as SAC is a “Refereed Conference”. Please adhere to this requirement when you prepare for your paper. Double-blindly means that the author of a paper does not know the reviewers of his/her paper and reviewers do not know the authors of the papers they reviewed. Accepted papers will be published in the symposium proceedings and ACM digital library. SUBMISSION PROCEDURES Authors are invited to submit original papers in PDF format. Since the track papers will be published by ACM proceedings, authors must submit manuscripts using the ACM format. See ACM SAC author kit (http://www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2022/authorkit.html) for template files and details. Regular papers are limited to 8 pages, in camera-ready format, included in the registration fee. Authors have the option to include up to two (2) extra pages at additional fee of US$80 per page. Posters are limited to 3 pages, in camera-ready format, included in the registration fee. Authors have the option to include only one (1) extra page at additional fee of US$80. Regular paper submission site: http://www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2022/submission.html SRC Abstracts are limited to 2 pages, in camera-ready format, included in the registration fee. No extra pages allowed. The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must NOT appear in the body of the paper, and self-reference should be in the third person. This is to facilitate blind review. Only the title should be shown on the top of the first page without the author's information. A paper cannot be submitted to more than one track. All paper submissions MUST BE "Original, unpublished work." Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of the paper/poster in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the paper. This is a requirement for the paper/poster to be included in the ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show of scheduled papers and posters will result in excluding them from the ACM/IEEE digital library. STUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION As before, SAC 2022 organizes a Student Research Competition (SRC) Program to provide graduate students the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with researchers and practitioners in their areas of interest. Submission to the SRC program should be in electronic form via The Student Research Abstract SUBMISSION page (http://www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2022/submission_src.html) in the conference web site as a PDF file.
