While time and energy resources remain constant, the amount of information that needs attention grows exponentially with advances in communications and information sharing tools. The tools that people use to manage personal information have evolved over time. The desktop used to be at the centre of a user's PIM universe, containing contacts, emails, events, appointments and to-do lists. However, as the amount of stored information and the number of applications has grown, desktop data has become harder and harder to manage. At the same time, more online services and applications are becoming available to users and gaining in popularity. As a result, the boundaries between the desktop and the web become less discernible. The desktop is no longer the single access point to personal information, but one of many personal information sources. Consequently, personal information is becoming more fragmented across multiple devices, requiring extra effort to synchronise, duplicate, search and browse. Semantic technologies can improve significantly the user's experience and relieve some of the stress associated with managing disparate information. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in the areas of personal information management, user modelling, semantic web and linked data to share their visions, research achievements, and solutions, as well as to establish new collaborations in research and development. At the same time, the event will provide a platform for discussing research topics and challenges related to personal semantic data. 11/10/2010 - 13/10/2010 Gothenburg, Sweden The IEEE Power and Energy Society (PES) Conference on Innovative Smart Grid Technologies will be held in Gothenburg, Sweden from 11 to 13 October 2010.
