This volume contains the papers presented at the 9th International Semantic
Sensor Networks Workshop (SSN 2018) held at the 17th International Seman-
tic Web Conference, October 9th, 2018 in Monterey, CA. The website for this
workshop is hosted at the following URL:

Preface
Rapid growth in the Internet of Things (IoT) means that connected sensors and
actuators will be inundating the Web infrastructure with data. Semantics is in-
creasingly seen as a key enabler for integration of sensor data and the broader
Web ecosystem. The W3C and the Open Geospatial Consortium standardization
bodies have taken a second look at the Semantic Sensor Network ontology and
have published a new standard ontology for representing Sensors, Observations,
Sampling, Actuation and Sensor Networks. Analytical and reasoning capabilities
afforded by Semantic Web standards and technologies are considered important
for developing advanced applications that go from capturing observations to the
recognition of events, deeper insights, and actions. Furthermore, the contribu-
tion of semantics to sensing and actuation patterns is currently being explored.
Major industries including manufacturing, transport and logistics, personal and
public health, smart cities and smart energy, crisis management, and many oth-
ers are spanning commercial, civic, and scientific operations that involve sensors,
web, services and semantics.
This workshop continues the activity started within ISWC in 2006 and com-
plemented by special tracks at ESWC since 2010. This 2018 edition benefits
from renewed energy arising from the October 2017 W3C recommendation and
OGC standard and, more importantly, increases significance due to the growth
of IoT-enabled applications.
Selection. The SSN workshop attracted 11 contributions this year (8 long, 2
short, 1 demo). Long papers were reviewed by three program committee mem-
bers, and short and demo papers were reviewed by two. The committee decided
to accept 5 long papers, one of the long papers as a shortened version, and all
short and demo papers were accepted
Selected best papers. Two best papers were nominated and will be published as
part of the book Emerging Topics in Semantic Technologies. ISWC 2018 Satellite
Events. E. Demidova, A.J. Zaveri, E. Simperl (Eds.), ISBN: 978-3-89838-736-1,

Open Peer Review Initiative. This year we adopted the open peer review initia-
tive5 . The reviewers were asked if they were willing to publish their review and
potentially their name on the website of the conference.
– 9 reviews were submitted with: “do not publish my review nor my name”
– 14 reviews were submitted with: “publish my review, but not my name”
– 4 reviews were submitted with: “publish my review and my name”
The final decision was the authors’, which were asked to answer the following
question: Are you willing to encourage this open peer review initiative for SSN
2018?
– Publish the submitted version and the reviews
– Publish the submitted version but not the reviews
– Publish the minimal information about the paper (title and authors, default
choice)
– Do not publish anything about the paper
Authors of 8 papers chose the first option, authors of one paper chose the
second option, authors of 2 papers did not answer the question.
Advisory Panel. We thank the SSN workshop advisory panel members: Amit
Sheth, Manfred Hauswirth, and Kerry Taylor.
