Call for submissions
This is the first call for submissions for the First Jena User Conference, to be held on the 10th and 11th of May, 2006, at Hewlett-Packard Labs, Bristol, UK.
The theme of the conference is building the community of Jena users and developers. The conference sessions will feature presentations, discussions and demos about:
- applications built with Jena
- libraries extending Jena
- comparisons of semantic web frameworks
- design patterns and software engineering with Jena
We encourage any submissions appropriate to these themes. Submissions will be reviewed by the program committee. In the first instance, submissions should be of one of the following three types:
- demo
A demo submission can either be an abstract of about two pages in length, or it can be a collection of about eight screen shots with a short commentary. - position paper
This is for shorter submissions that do not involve a demo. This should be of about four pages in length. This is particularly appropriate for instance, for discussing design patterns or software engineering issues with Jena, or comparisons of Jena with other systems. - workshop paper
This should be between six and ten pages in length, appropriate for a twenty minute presentation (with or without a demo). Such submissions may, for instance, report on business applications using Jena, libraries built on top of Jena or Semantic Web research performed with the help of Jena.
Submissions should be e-mailed to juc-submissions@hpl.hp.com.
On-topic submissions of work that has been presented elsewhere will be considered. We intend to publish an HPLabs technical report containing selected papers and presentations from the conference. Authors are requested to indicate whether they would wish their work to be included in such a report (noting that copyright would be shared).
Papers should be in 12 point Times font, single column per page, A4 or US Letter. PDF is preferred.
