August 25-29, 2014, Beijing, China
Since the vision of Semantic Web was proposed in 2001, it has attracted huge attention from both academic and industrial communities. After a decade of development, the theoretical research and tool support have achieved many exciting results.
Despite the success, the industrial uptake of semantic technologies is slower than people had expected.
Collocated with The 10th International Conference on Semantics, Knowledge & Grids (SKG'14), SWiP'14 is a one-day workshop that provides a venue to present and discuss benefits, limitations, challenges and solution for the adoption of semantic technologies in various application domains.
SWiP'14 will provide an open and stimulating environment that brings together researchers, developers and users from various fields to discuss goals, real-world experiences and prospects of the use of Semantic Web technologies in practice.
Workshop proceeding
The workshop proceedings will be published as part of the SKG 2014 workshop proceedings, published by IEEE Conference Publishing Services (EI indexed). More information: http://www.knowledgegrid.net/skg2014/Publication.html.
Pending journal approvals, selected papers from the workshop will be recommended for publication in journals Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience and Future Generation Computer Systems.
