<br>
A number of prominent members of the Semantic Web community are now beginning
to claim that the Semantic Web has arrived. Semantic Web search engines now
index tens of thousands of ontologies and the term 'Semantic Web' regularly
appears in the mainstream news and culture. Additionally, the number of
Semantic Web events attracting several hundred attendees grows larger every
year and industrial interest includes the majority of the large software and
service companies. The 4th Asian Semantic Web Conference (ASWC 2009) will
present the latest research and development of the Semantic Web and its related
technologies. It will bring together researchers in relevant disciplines such
as artificial intelligence, knowledge modeling, logic, databases, social
networks, Web services, distributed computing, Web engineering, information
systems, natural language processing, multimedia, and human-computer
interaction.</span></font><span lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></span></p>

ASWC 2009 will include a Research Track, a Semantic Web in Use Track, a Poster
and Demonstration Track. ASWC 2009 also encourages the submission of proposals
for workshops and tutorials.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

submission of original, principled research papers dealing with theoretical,
methodological, empirical and application-related aspects of the Semantic Web.
The Semantic Web in Use Track solicits the submission of innovative and
practical application papers which take into account real-world requirements.
All papers should clearly demonstrate relevance to the Semantic Web - fully
taking into account aspects related to both semantics and the Web.</span></font><span
