>> Announcing the NEW journal "Web Semantics: Science, Services and 
>> Agents on
>> the World Wide Web".
>>
>>
>> This new interdisciplinary journal focuses on research at the 
>> intersection
>> of three major research areas: semantic web, agent technology and grid
>> computing. We call this interdisciplinary field Web semantics. Web 
>> semantics
>> investigates and develops the standards, ontology's, protocols and
>> technology that contribute to the development of a 
>> knowledge-intensive and
>> intelligent service Web. This is often referred to as the second 
>> generation
>> of the Web.
>>
>>
>> The journal not only provides a forum for theoretical and experimental
>> papers by academic and industrial researchers and developers in the 
>> area of
>> computer science, but also aims at reaching a more application 
>> oriented
>> audience like information specialists or researchers and developers 
>> from the
>> Internet-industry.
>>
>>
>> The editorial board has been carefully selected and consists of the 
>> world's
>> leading researchers from the areas of semantic web, agent technology 
>> and
>> grid computing.
>>
>>
>> Author versions of papers will be published immediately after 
>> acceptance on
>> the web site of the journal (www.semanticwebjournal.org), which will 
>> also
>> allow for semantic annotations and linking of additional non-textual
>> material to the article. The official and final version of the 
>> articles will
>> be published on Science Direct(www.sciencedirect.com), Elsevier's 
>> electronic
>> publication platform and on ComputerScienceWeb 
>> (www.computersienceweb.com)
>> Elsevier's computer science portal.
>> Web Semantics has free electronic access until the end of 2003.

>>
>> Aims and Scope:
>> Web Semantics: Science, Services and Agents on the World Wide Web is 
>> an
>> interdisciplinary journal based on research and applications of 
>> various
>> subject areas that contribute to the development of a 
>> knowledge-intensive
>> and intelligent service Web. These areas include: knowledge 
>> technologies,
>> ontology, agents, databases and the semantic grid. Obviously, 
>> disciplines
>> like information retrieval, language technology, human-computer 
>> interaction
>> and knowledge discovery are of major relevance as well. All aspects 
>> of the
>> Semantic Web development are covered. The publication of large-scale
>> experiments and their analysis is also encouraged to clearly 
>> illustrate
>> scenarios and methods that introduce semantics into existing Web 
>> interfaces,
>> contents and services. The journal emphasizes the publication of 
>> papers that
>> combine theories, methods and experiments from different subject 
>> areas in
>> order to deliver innovative semantic methods and applications.
>>
>>
>> The journal addresses various prominent application areas including:
>> e-community, knowledge management, e-learning, e-business, digital 
>> libraries
>> and e-sciences.
>> The journal publishes high quality papers that cover theoretical 
>> issues,
>> methods, tools, system descriptions and applications. Papers should be
>> normal journal-length or short, descriptive papers e.g. systems or
>> applications. Special sections will cover conference and workshop 
>> reports as
>> well as book reviews.
>>
>>
>> The journal features a multi-purpose web site 
>> (www.semanticwebjournal.org).
>> Accepted papers are immediately available online (associated with
>> appropriate metadata) and readers are able to annotate documents with
>> additional comments and links to related material. The unique 
>> character of
>> the journal makes it possible to extend the scope beyond traditional
>> journals. Open-source software and tools that help to advance the 
>> field more
>> rapidly, will be published and demonstrated based on a rigorous 
>> review and
>> selection process. Submissions are especially encouraged that 
>> demonstrate
>> the amalgamation of papers and code-content that goes beyond the 
>> range of
>> traditional print journals.
>>
>>
>> The web site itself is also available to interested researchers as a 
>> test
>> site for developing and refining Semantic Web technologies and for
>> conduction of user studies (please contact the Online Editor-in-Chief 
>> for
>> further information).
>>
>>
>> The Journal of Web Semantics includes, but is not limited to, the 
>> following
>> major technology areas:
>>          *       The Semantic Web
>>          *       Agents
>>          *       Databases
>>          *       Semantic Grid
>>          *       Knowledge Technologies
>>          *       Ontology
>>          *       Peer-to-Peer Technology
>>          *       Information Retrieval
>>          *       Language Technology
>>          *       Human-Computer Interaction
>>          *       Knowledge Discovery
>>          *       Web Standards
