We solicit submissions which describe or evaluate one or more OWL reasoning and query answering systems. We invite submission of both SHORT SYSTEM DESCRIPTION papers and LONG SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND EVALUATION papers. Survey papers describing and comparing multiple systems are also welcome. Papers should include a description of the system(s) in question, including:

• language subset(s) supported;

• syntax(es) and interface(s) supported;

• reasoning algorithm(s) implemented;

• important optimisation techniques used;

• particular advantages (or disadvantages);

• application focus (e.g., large datasets, large ontologies, complex ontologies, etc.);

• other novel or interesting features.

Full papers should also include an evaluation (see guidelines), preferably using (some of) the datasets provided. Short papers may also include a brief performance analysis.

Long papers must be no longer than 12 pages, while short papers must be no longer than 6 pages.

Submissions must be in PDF and should be formatted according to the Springer LNCS guidelines. Submission is electronic through easychair.
