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 in-use track 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 *10* pages for the in-use track.
Submissions that are less than 10 pages can be considered. However,
when selecting best papers, we will give preference to those submissions
that are more than 9 pages. 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.
