The International Semantic Intelligence Conference (ISIC2021) https://www.ifis.uni-luebeck.de/~groppe/isic/ presents a forum to publish cutting edge research results in intelligent applications. Due to many technological trends like IoT, Cloud Computing, Smart Devices, huge data is generated daily and at unprecedented rates. Traditional data techniques and platforms do not prove to be efficient because of issues concerning responsiveness, flexibility, performance, scalability, accuracy, and more. To manage these huge data sets and to store the archives for longer periods, we need granular access to massively evolving data sets. Addressing this gap has been an important and well recognized interdisciplinary area of Computer Science.
A machine will behave intelligently if the underlying representation scheme exhibits knowledge that can be achieved by representing semantics. Semantic Intelligence refers to filling the semantic gap between the understanding of humans and machines by making a machine look at everything in terms of object-oriented concepts as a human look at it. Semantic intelligence helps us make sense of the most vital resource, i.e., data; by virtue of making it interpretable and meaningful. The focus is on information as compared to the process. To whatever application, the data will be put to; it is to be represented in a manner that is machine-understandable and hence human-usable. All the important relationships (including who, what, when, where, how and why) in the required data from any heterogeneous data source are required to be made explicit. The Artificial Intelligence technologies, the Machine Intelligence technologies, and the semantic web technologies together make up the Semantic Intelligence Technologies (SITs). SITs have been found as the most important ingredient in building artificially intelligent knowledge-based systems as they aid machines in integrating and processing resources contextually and intelligently.
The submissions are divided into three tracks, namely the Research Track, the Trends and Perspectives Track, and the Applications and Deployment Track. Every paper will be assessed by the track chair and reviewed by at least three program committee members. The contributors are advised to choose the track that best suits their work. The contributions should be related to any one of the three disciplines namely Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or Semantics for Data and the Web; or their intersection. The topics of interest are those which are related to ontology research as mentioned below but are not limited to what is mentioned.
- Semantic Web Engineering
- Ontology-based Data Access
- Multimodal and Multilingual Access
- Machine to Machine Communications and Interoperability
- Knowledge Extraction and Ontology Learning from the Web
- Multimodal and Multilingual Approach to Computing
- Computational Paradigms and Computational Intelligence
- Intelligent Computing and Applications, Case Studies and Tools
- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
- Contributions of Semantic Web Technologies (SWT) to the Society
- Cyber-Physical Systems
- Knowledge representation and Engineering
- Security Issues in Semantic Web
- Applications, Opportunities, Challenges
- Reasoning and Intelligent Processing (Semantic Search Paradigms, Semantic Web Mining, Semantic Sentiment Analysis, Semantic Web Services, Visualization, Query Answering, Semantic Information Access)
- Mapping Knowledge bases
- Any other related topic...
Track 1: The Research Track
The Research Track incorporates papers that present novel work contributing significantly to the advancement of Semantic Intelligence. The submissions should list the research gaps and research contributions filling the said gaps. A section comparing the results of the research with existing benchmarks is highly desirable.
Track 2: The Trends and Perspectives Track:
The Trends and Perspectives Track explores the state of the art in the mentioned disciplines.
Track 3: The Applications and Deployment Track:
The Applications and Deployment Track accept papers showcasing the latest advancements and applications of semantic intelligence. Once any technology or methodology originates from the research community, its challenges and benefits are explored by its concrete usage in a practical setting. The application of any research in real-world use cases sets the stage for its visibility. The Applications and Deployment Track is exactly for this purpose. This track seeks submission for applied semantic intelligence. The submissions should list the benefits; the presented application reaps from SITs. In addition to the real-world, the Applications and Deployment Track also welcomes Resources such as the vocabularies, datasets, evaluation benchmarks, and the software.

Workshop Proposals:
ISIC2021 invites proposals for workshops/special sessions on the emerging topics related to the general theme of the conference. The acceptance of the proposal will be subject to the link, its specific theme is able to have with the conference major theme, i.e., Semantic Intelligence. Kindly mention the Connect of the proposal to the conference theme, and an answer to why do you think it can attract researchers in the field. New, as well as established workshops/special sessions, are welcome to send their proposals.
The proposals should be in a pdf file of maximum two pages long and to be submitted via email to mhamada2000@gmail.com, jasarika@gmail.com.
Once accepted, the workshop/special session will invite papers with titles focused on the sub-theme of the workshop/special session.
