As a followup to the perivous
symposium<http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/%7Eley/db/conf/cswws/cswws2006.html>,
CSWWS 2009 aims at bringing together Canadian and international researchers
in Web technologies and knowledge management to discuss about various issues
related to the Semantic Web.

The Second Canadian Semantic Web Working Symposium 2009 calls for papers in
all topics related to semantic web technologies and their applications. The
following are some example topics:



   - Languages, tools and methodologies for the Semantic Web
   - The application of AI technologies in the Semantic Web
   - Searching, querying, visualizing and interpreting the Semantic Web
   - Semantic Web-based Knowledge Management;
   - Semantic Grid and semantic Grid services
   - Trust, privacy, security on the Semantic Web;
   - Ontology design, evolution, management
   - Ontology mapping and merging
   - Semantic Web and uncertainty
   - Description logics and ontologies
   - Modular, distributed, and multi-ontologies
   - Semantic Web technologies for collaboration and cooperation
   - Semantic Web Services (description, discovery, invocation, composition)
   - Semantic Grid and semantic Grid services
   - Semantic Web for databases
   - Trust, privacy, security on the Semantic Web
   - Practical applications of the Semantic Web techniques in e-business,
   e-commerce, e-government and e-learning



CSWWS 2009 will feature two research and Work-In-Progress tracks. The
objective of the research track is to solicit original papers that present
accomplished researches on the area of the Semantic Web.  The
Work-In-Progress track aims at providing an opportunity for practitioners to
present their on-going research on the theory and application of the
Semantic Web, even when implementation or deployment has not been completed.



Accepted submissions will be published in the symposium Proceeding.
Furthermore, all accepted papers will be invited to be published after
applying requested revisions in the "Canadian Semantic Web 2" book. (The
first volume of this book that is related to the CSWWS 2006 is available
