------------------------------------------------------
The field of Semantic Computing addresses the derivation of semantic 
information from content and the connection of semantics to knowledge, 
where "content" may be anything ncluding structured data, video, audio, 
text, hardware, software, process, etc.

The Seventh IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing (ICSC 
2013) continues to foster the growth of a new research community. The 
conference builds on the success of the past ICSC conferences as an 
international forum for researchers and practitioners to present 
research that advances the state of the art and practice of Semantic 
Computing, as well as identifying emerging research topics and defining 
the future of the field. The event is located in Irvine, California, at 
Irvine Hyatt.

The technical program of ICSC 2013 includes workshops, invited keynotes, 
paper presentations, panel discussions, industrial 'show and tells', 
demonstrations, and more. Submissions of high-quality papers describing 
mature results or ongoing work are invited.

The main goal of the conference is to foster the dialog between experts 
in each sub-discipline. Therefore we especially encourage submissions of 
work that is interesting to multiple areas, such as multi-modal approaches.
