The second IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing (ICSC2008) builds on the success of ICSC2007 as an international interdisciplinary forum for researchers and practitioners to present research that advances the state of the art and practice of Semantic Computing, as well as identifying the emerging research topics and defining the future of Semantic Computing. The conference particularly welcomes interdisciplinary research that facilitates the ultimate success of Semantic Computing.

The field of Semantic Computing (SC) brings together those disciplines concerned with connecting the (often vaguely-formulated) intentions of humans with computational content. This connection can go both ways: retrieving, using and manipulating existing content according to user's goals ("do what the user means"); and creating, rearranging, and managing content that matches the author's intentions ("do what the author means").
