This volume contains the main proceedings of the 3rd Annual European - mantic Web Conference (ESWC 2006) held in Budva, Montenegro, June 11-14, 2006.ESWC 2006 showcasedthe latest resultsin researchand applicationof - mantic Web technologies - moving us closer to the vision of creating a machine interpretable web. Followingthesuccessofthepreviousconferences,thisyearwewitnessedas- ni?cantincreaseinsubmissions.Speci?cally,wereceived181papers-anincrease of 22% over last year. Our review process consisted of three phases. First, each submission was evaluated by at least three members of the Programme C- mittee. Second, papers and associated reviews were meta reviewed by members of the Senior Programme Committee. In this second phase the meta reviewers led discussions between reviewersand producedan acceptancerecommendation. In the last phase, on the basis of the reviews and associated meta review r- ommendations, the ?nal selections were made jointly by the Programme Chair and the General Chair. Although this process required substantial e?orts from the members of the Programme Committees, it ensured that only papers of the highest quality were accepted. The ?nal acceptance of 48 papers for publication and presentation at the conference out of the 181 submissions resulted in an acceptance rate of 26%. The conference represented research from all over Europe and additionally attracted papers from outside of Europe. Accepted papers came primarily from Germany,Italy,UK,TheNetherlands,Spain,Austria,USA,Belgium,China,the CzechRepublic,Ireland,andSerbiaandMontenegro.Theinternationalscienti?c Programme Committees consisted of members coming from 23 countries spread all over the world including such far away places as Australia and Brazil.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 3rd Asian Semantic Web Conference, ASWC 2008, held in Bankok, Thailand, in December 2008. The 37 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 118 submissions. The papers address the latest results in the research and applications of Semantic Web technologies and cover topics including: scalable reasoning and logic, ontology mapping, ontology modelling and management, ontologies and tags, human language technologies and machine learning, querying, semantic Web services and semantic Web applications.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the four workshops that were organized in conjunction with the International Conference on Business Information Systems, BIS 2012, which took place in Vilnius, Lithuania, May 21-23, 2012. In addition, the papers from the Future Internet Symposium, which was organized in conjunction with BIS 2012, are also included. BIS workshops give researchers the opportunity to share their preliminary ideas and first experimental results, and discuss research hypotheses with a highly focused audience. The 24 papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 63 submissions and were revised and extended after the event. The workshop topics covered applications and economics of knowledge-based technologies (AKTB), business and IT alignment (BITA), enterprise systems for higher education (ESHE), and formal semantics for future enterprises (FSFE). In addition, one invited paper from BITA is also included in this volume.

Service-oriented computing has become one of the predominant factors in current IT research and development. Web services seem to be the middleware solution of the future for highly interoperable distributed software solutions. In parallel, research on the Semantic Web provides the results required to exploit distributed machine-processable data. To combine these two research lines into industrial-strength applications, a number of research projects have been set up by organizations like W3C and the EU. Dieter Fensel and his coauthors deliver a profound introduction into one of the most promising approaches - the Web Service Modeling Ontology (WSMO). After a brief presentation of the underlying basic technologies and standards of the World Wide Web, the Semantic Web, and Web Services, they detail all the elements of WSMO from basic concepts to possible applications in e-commerce, e-government and e-banking, and they also describe its relation to other approaches like OWL-S or WSDL-S. While many of the related technologies and standards are still under development, this book already offers both a broad conceptual introduction and lots of pointers to future application scenarios for researchers in academia and industry as well as for developers of distributed Web applications.

Irrespective of whether we use economic or societal metrics, the Internet is one of the most important technical infrastructures in existence today. It will serve as a catalyst for much of our innovation and prosperity in the future. A competitive Europe will require Internet connectivity and services beyond the capabilities offered by current technologies. Future Internet research is therefore a must. The Future Internet Assembly (FIA) is a successful and unique bi-annual conference that brings together participants of over 150 projects from several distinct but interrelated areas in the EU Framework Programme 7. The 20 full papers included in this volume were selected from 40 submissions, and are preceded by a vision paper describing the FIA Roadmap. The papers have been organized into topical sections on the foundations of Future Internet, the applications of Future Internet, Smart Cities, and Future Internet infrastructures.
