Posters, Demos & PhD Track
The Posters & Demonstrations Track and the PhD Track offer an opportunity to present late-breaking research results, smaller contributions, and innovative work in progress.

The informal setting of the Posters & Demonstrations Track encourages presenters and participants to engage in discussions about the presented work. Such discussions can be invaluable inputs for the future work of the presenters, while offering participants an effective way to broaden their knowledge of the emerging research trends and to network with other researchers. Poster and demo submissions should consist of a 3-4 page description that clearly describes the approach. Submissions to this track must be in the Springer LNCS format (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors), i.e. please do NOT use the ACM template here.

The objective of the PhD Track is to provide doctoral students with a forum to present and discuss their research projects with experienced researchers (“mentors”) and fellow students. It addresses PhD students at an early stage of their doctoral studies, who want to receive feedback from internationally recognized researchers. Ideally, participants will have a well-defined problem statement and precise questions to discuss with their mentor. Applicants should be PhD students (from any country), conducting ongoing research in the areas of semantic technologies, Linked Data and the Semantic Web.

PhD track submissions should consist of up to 1.500 words and contain the following:
● Name, affiliation and contact details of the PhD student
● Name(s) of the supervisor(s)
● Summary of the research project, including:
○ Problem: research questions, motivation, state of the art and relevance for the fields of Semantic Technologies, Linked Data and Semantic Web
○ Approach: (planned) approach and methodology
○ Current status / timeline: current status of the work and any results that have already been reached plus outlook to future work
● A list of key questions that the PhD student wants to discuss during the event

Submissions will be reviewed by experienced researchers; each submission will receive detailed feedback. The program committee will select participants who will give a short presentation about their research project during the I-SEMANTICS PhD Track. Main focus of the event is on discussion, support and solving open questions.
