| Welcome to the MyReview web-based
conference management system for
The Second International Workshop on Semantic and Grid Computing (SGC07) to be held with
The Fifth International Symposium on Parallel
and Distributed Processing and Applications (ISPA-2007) !
Tuesday, August 28 --
Saturday, September 1, 2007
Niagara Falls, ON, CANADA
Introduction
As extensions of current web and
grid computing, semantic computing and semantic grid
systems are characterized as open systems in which
information, software, computing resources and services
are given well defined and standardized meaning at
semantic level. They provide detailed semantic structure
of all components in the computing world. This approach
helps bring resources virtually together and makes it
easier for resources to be discovered and processed
automatically.
This workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers
working on human-computer interaction,
knowledge/multimedia representation, ontology, information
retrieval, data mining, agents, artificial intelligence,
computer vision, robotics, semantic web services, and grid
computing to discuss and share their findings and ideas in
semantic and grid computing, and to envision the future
work in this area.

Paper Publication
Accepted papers will be published by Lecture Note in
Computer Science (LNCS), Springer (pending). At least one
author of each accepted paper is requested to register and
present the work at the conference; otherwise the paper
will be removed from the digital library after the
conference.
Distinguished papers, after
further revisions, will be considered for a journal
