---------------
Fourth IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing

IEEE ICSC2010

September 22nd-24th, 2010, Pittsburgh, PA, USA

http://www.ieee-icsc.org/

Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society

The field of Semantic Computing addresses the derivation and
matching of the semantics of computational content to that
of naturally expressed user intentions in order to retrieve, manage, manipulate or even create content, where "content" may be anything including video, audio, text, processes, services,
hardware, networks, etc.

The fourth IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing
(ICSC2010) continues to foster the growth  of a new research
community. The conference builds on the success of the past
ICSC conferences as an international forum for researchers and
practitioners to present research that advances the state of
the art and practice of Semantic Computing, as well as identifying
emerging research topics and defining the future of the field.
The event is located in Pittsburgh, PA. The technical program of
ICSC2010 includes workshops, invited keynotes, paper presentations,
panel discussions, industrial "show and tells", demos, and more.
Submissions of high-quality papers describing mature results or
on-going work are invited.

The main goal of the conference is to foster the dialog between
experts in each sub-discipline. Therefore we especially encourage
submissions of work that is interesting to multiple areas, such
as multimodal approaches.
