Call for (fictitious) Short Papers for ESWC 2043 (sic!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writing vision papers that draw the research agenda for the next period is always a good exercise. However, usually researchers start from what they are currently doing and imagine the next steps, with a few years horizon in mind; this leads to incremental research achievements. Instead, we want you to be bold and pave the way for really groundbreaking discontinuities in Semantic Web research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What research papers will we see presented at ESWC in twenty years? Use your imagination!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by Design Fiction<\/a> practices, we invite you to submit a fictitious research paper to ESCW 2043. The paper should look and feel like a real paper, including research questions, references and state of the art (which will probably be mostly from 2038 onwards, you do not want to cite old-school papers from the 2020s and early 2030s, do you?), experimental results (you may even use some newer evaluation metrics which will be common in 2043, like SimulatedBrainCellHours per QuantumBit), and of course future work (i.e., future future work), so that we can get an idea of the research agenda for the late 2040s and early 2050s. And yes, it is very much encouraged that your paper is at least co-authored by an AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further Hints<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

20 years is a long time, so we are not looking for incremental advancements here, but for papers that describe research related to ESWC in a radically different research landscape. So you really have to think out of the box!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to get an idea how a research landscape can change, let us briefly note that in 2003 (i.e., 20 years ago), there was no<\/p>\n\n\n\n
