The field Semantic Computing applies technologies in natural language processing, data and knowledge engineering, software engineering, computer systems and networks, signal processing and pattern recognition, and any combination of the above to extract, access, transform and synthesize the semantics (contents) of multimedia, texts, services and structured data.
The IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing (ICSC2007) is an international forum for researchers to exchange information regarding advancements in the state of the art and practice of semantic computing, as well as to identify the emerging research topics and define the future of semantic computing. The technical program of ICSC2007 will consist of invited talks, paper presentations, and panel discussions.
