The 5th Joint International Semantic Technology Conference (JIST 2015) 

http://www.jist2015.org/

November 11-13, 2015 (Wed - Fri) 
Yichang, China

Submission deadline extension: August 17, 2015

Special Attention: the best papers of JIST2015 will be invited to

papers will propose extensions of their JIST2015 papers and get
feedbacks from IJSWIS editors (and possibly the PC chairs of JIST2015).
 
********** 


The Joint International Semantic Technology Conference (JIST) is a
regional federation of Semantic Technology related conferences. The
mission of JIST is to bring together researchers in Semantic Technology
research community and other areas of semantic related technologies to
present their innovative research results or novel applications of
semantic technologies. 

JIST 2015, under the theme "Semantics for Big Data", solicits the
submission of original research papers on Semantic Web and other
semantic technologies, as well as papers on applications of semantic
technologies.

* Submission 

Submissions to JIST 2015 should describe original, significant research
on the semantic technologies. Submissions to JIST 2015 are expected to
present their claimed contribution, with clear evidence to support
their claims. All submissions will be critically reviewed by at least
three members of the program committee. To assess submissions,
reviewers will judge their relevance to semantic technologies, their
originality, the technical soundness of their proposed approach and the
readability of the submission. 

Submissions must be in PDF format, using the style of the Springer
Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
Submissions must be no longer than *16* pages for REGULAR TECHNICAL
SESSIONS. Submissions that exceed this limit may be rejected without
review. JIST 2015 will not accept submissions that are under review for
or have already been published in or accepted for publication in a
journal or another conference. Accepted papers will be published in an
LNCS post-proceedings. 

Papers can be submitted electronically via
