CSWWS 2009, http://isel.cs.unb.ca/%7Ecswws09, will be held in Kelowna, British Columbia (May 24, 2009). This symposium is associated with the 22nd Canadian Conference on Artificial Intelligence.

As a followup to the 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 http://www.springer.com/computer/database+management+&+information+retrieval/book/978-0-387-29815-3)
