Dear colleagues,
please find below the last call for industrial presentations. Submission
deadline is on June 24th, but requires only a short abstract with
300-400 words.
(If you need a little bit more time, I can also ask for an individual
extension).
All the best,
Sebastian

The annual SEMANTiCS conference is the meeting place for professionals
who make semantic computing work, who understand its benefits and
encounter its limitations. Every year, SEMANTiCS attracts information
managers, IT-architects, software engineers and researchers from
organisations ranging from NPOs, through public administrations to the
largest companies in the world. Attendees learn from industry experts
and top researchers about emerging trends and topics in the fields of
semantic software, enterprise data, linked data & open data strategies,
methodologies in knowledge modelling and text & data analytics. The
SEMANTiCS community is highly diverse; attendees have responsibilities
in interlinking areas like knowledge management, technical
documentation, e-commerce, big data analytics, enterprise search,
document management, business intelligence, data science and enterprise
vocabulary management.
The success of last year’s conference in Vienna with more than 280
attendees from 22 countries proves that SEMANTiCS 2016 will continue a
long tradition of bringing together colleagues from around the world.
There will be presentations on industry implementations, use case
prototypes, best practices, panels, papers and posters to discuss
semantic systems in birds-of-a-feather sessions as well as informal
settings. SEMANTICS addresses problems common among information
managers, software engineers, IT-architects and various specialist
departments working to develop, implement and/or evaluate semantic
software systems.
/*The SEMANTiCS program is a rich mix of technical talks, panel
discussions of important topics and presentations by people who make
things work - just like you. */
For the third time there is a chance to have a more intense interaction
with your audience in the prestigious “Knowledge Management meets
SEMANTiCS” sessions, which are hosted by our partners from the
Gesellschaft für Wissensmanagement e. V. (Association for Knowledge
Management). These sessions are split into two segments, a lecture-style
presentation and a second segment that is interactive, where various
facilitation methods and activities get the audience into a lively, deep
discussion of the subject matter and questions raised by you and the
participants. We will focus on ideas, solutions and examples in defining
vocabularies, thesauri, and ontologies which help to master the
overabundance of the world’s knowledge. *Please, let us know if you want
to apply for this special opportunity.*
In addition, attendees can network with experts in a variety of fields.
These relationships provide great value to organisations as they
encounter subtle technical issues in any stage of implementation. The
expertise gained by SEMANTiCS attendees has a long-term impact on their
careers and organisations. These factors make SEMANTiCS for our
community the major industry related event across Europe.

problem(s)? How is your solution composed with respect to technological
aspects / human aspects / organisational aspects? How do the semantic
components support the process from data to knowledge?/
*
Success Criteria for / Benefit of the Semantic Solution
/Which factors (conscious and unconscious) have been crucial to the
success of your project? Which obstacles did you face? How can you
measure the benefit of your solution? How does the organisation benefit

*Your benefit*
Presenters will be granted access to the entire program of the SEMANTiCS
Conference (incl. all social events) at a reduced rate. Additionally,
presenters will have the possibility to discuss their contributions with
an interested audience and exchange ideas how semantic technologies can
