It is unique in that it targets to synthesize the concepts from these diverse fields in a comprehensive fashion in the cont ext of the semantics Web. The Web has now been in existence for quite som e time and its pervasive in its influence on all aspects of society and co mmerce. It has also produced a major shift in our thinking on the nature a nd scope of information processing. However in its technological nature an d its supporting theoretical foundations\, it has remained relatively rudi mentary\, being currently largely suitable for information dissemination. It is rapidly moving away from this\, to application deployment and knowle dge deployment that require complex interactions and properly structured u nderlying semantics. This has been a sudden upsurge of research activity i n the problems associated with adding semantics to the Web. This work on s emantics will involve data\, knowledge\, and process semantics. The 9th IF IP SWWS 2013 will provide a forum for presenting original\, unpublished re search results\, and innovative ideas related to this voluminous quantity of research. In SWWS 2013\, as a complementary to the main OTM 2013 confe rence themes\, special focus is aimed at looking at four evolving areas of interest for the Semantic Web\, namely Security &\; Trust\, Fuzzy Sema ntics\, Biomedical Informatics\, Context-driven Methods for Ontologies and Ontology Learning and Evolution. The intention of the SWWS 2013 is to bri ng together a community of researchers and practitioners who will provide a collection of work that is of utmost importance to the advancement of th e web semantics and its future\, reviewed by the top experts and minds in the field\, in an area of the utmost importance to business\, IT and indus try.  \n \nINTENDED PARTICIPANTS OF THE WORKSHOP\nThe workshop is intended for researchers\, academic\, practitioners\, IFIP working group WG 2.12/1 2.4 members and organizations who are actively involved in present and upc oming semantic web technologies. Moreover\, the workshop concepts covered is a good reference point for academic and industrial researchers who want to familiarize themselves with emerging trends in semantic web research\, technologies and applications.  \n \nTOPICS OF INTEREST\nAreas of focus a nd topics of special tracks for the workshop include one or more of the fo llowing (but are not limited to) themes\; 1.    Semantic Web and conceptua l knoweldge representation 2.    Web Semantics and Conceptual Modeling wit h OCL\, XML\, RDF\, OWL\, X Semantics Net\, etc 3.    Semantics reasoning from Text\, semi and unstractured information resources 4.    Security\, P rivacy\, Trust and Risk Ontologies and system enforcement 5.    Fuzzy Sema ntics and Fuzzy Ontology 6.    Biomedical Informatics and Semantics reason ing 7.    Context-driven Methods for Ontologies 8.    Ontology Engineering and Multi-agent systems 9.    Ontology Learning and Ontology Evolution The following topics related to these themes including\, but are not limit ed to: •    Formal and practical knowledge representation and inference fo r the semantic Web •    Design\, evaluation\, and use of ontology •    Met adata and knowledge markup •    Special track on Fuzzy sets\no    Providin g semantics for the web using Fuzzy set methods o    Fuzzy models for the Semantic Web o    Fuzzy Ontologies o    Protoforms\n•    Special track on Security and Trust\no    Security\, Privacy\, and Risks for the Semantic W eb o    Trust and Reputation Systems for the Semantic Web\n•    Special tr ack on Context-driven Methods for Ontologies\no  Engineering of regulatory ontologies: conceptual analysis\, representation\, modularization and lay ering\, reusability\, evolution and dynamics\, etc\; o  Multilingual and t erminological aspects of regulatory ontologies\; o  Models of legal reason ing (from ontological viewpoint): regulatory compliance\, case-based reaso ning\, reasoning with uncertainty\, etc. o  Sensitivity on and harmonizati on of regulations\; o  Regulatory metadata and content standardization (e. g. legal-XML/LeXML\, ADR/ODR-XML etc)\; o  Regulatory ontologies of: prope rty rights\, persons and organizations\, legal procedures\, contracts\, le gal causality\, etc\; o  Task models for socially regulated activities\; o   Experiences with projects and applications involving regulatory ontologi es in legal knowledge based systems\, legal information retrieval\, e-gove rnments\, e-commerce\;\n•    Special Track on Biomedical Informatics\no    Biomedical Ontologies for Genetics\, Proteomics\, Diseases\, Privacy etc. o    Conceptual Models for Biological and Medical Data o    Semantics in Biological Data Modeling o    Use of semantics to manage Interoperation in Biomedical Databases o    Semantic Web technologies and formalisms for Bi omedical Data o    Ontology representation and exchange languages for Bioi nformatics o    Support of Ontologies for Biological Information Retrieval and Web Services o    Change Management in Biomedical Ontologies o    Too ls for Development and Management of Biomedical Ontologies\n•    Interoper ability of data and Web services •    Semantics of agent and Web interacti on •    Automated extraction of Information from regulatory documents. •    Content-based information and knowledge retrieval •    Information extra ction\, automatic\, and semi-automatic generation of metadata •    Databas e technologies for the Semantic Web •    Multimodality and visualization t echnologies for the Semantic Web •    Applications on mobile devices •     Human centred aspects specifically for the Semantic Web •    Impact of Sem antic Web computing on organizations and society •    Evaluation of the qu ality of Web semantics •    Context-awareness for the Semantic Web •    Se mantics for ubiquitous computing  \n \nIMPORTANT DATES\nAbstract Submissio n Deadline: June 02\, 2013 Full Paper Submission Deadline: June 09\, 2013 Acceptance Notification: July 2\, 2013 Camera Ready Due: July 16\, 2013 A uthor Registration Due: July 16\, 2013\n \nPAPER SUBMISSION\nAll submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality\, significance\, technical soundness\, clarity of expression\, and relevance to IFIP WG 2.1 2 &\; WG 12.4.
