Workshops ?and tutorials ?at ?JOWO 2018 ?are ?events whose ?scientific program is ?independently established ?by the workshop ?organizer. The workshop organizers ?will be responsible for ?advertising the workshop and ?reviewing ?and ?selecting ?the contributions. ?Workshops ?can ?be events that ?provide a ?forum for ?the discussion ?of topics ?that may complement ?the main ?conference ?or focus ?on specialized ?sub-topics related ?to ?formal ?ontology ??and ?its ?application ?in ?information systems. ?We specifically ?invite proposals ?by IAOA ?Special Interest Groups and Technical Committees. Previous ?JOWO editions ?were ?held ?in 2017 ?in ?Bolzano (Italy), ?in conjunction with ?FOIS 2016 in Annecy ?(France), and at IJCAI ?2015 in Buenos Aires (Argentina). As ?in earlier ?years, all ?contributions ?to JOWO ?workshops will ?be published ?in ?a joint ?CEUR ?proceedings ?volume, together ?with ?the contributions to the Early Career Symposium. JOWO 2015: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1517/ JOWO 2016: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1660/ JOWO 2017: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2050/ Together, ?the ?JOWO ?workshops ?address a ?wide ?spectrum ?of ?topics related ?to ?ontology ?research, ?ranging from ?Cognitive ?Science ?to Knowledge ?Representation, ?Natural ?Language ?Processing, ?Artificial Intelligence, Logic, ?Philosophy, and Linguistics. JOWO ?is especially suitable for interdisciplinary and innovative formats. Researchers ?and practitioners ?interested ?in ?the theory, ?practice, development ?and/or application ?of ontologies ?are invited ?to submit workshop proposals for review. We ?encourage several ?forms ?and ?length of ?workshops ?(the list ?is non-exhaustive): - ?workshops that ?focus on ?an established ?research area, ?including continuations of workshops that were already held in the past; - ?workshops that ?focus on ?emerging topics ?and applications, ?or on open research questions and challenges; - workshops ?that aim to create ?cross-disciplinary research fostering exchange of ideas between groups otherwise mostly disconnected. SUBMISSION Proposals for workshops ?and tutorials should be no more ?than 2 pages in length, and must contain the following information: - title of the workshop/tutorial; - names of the workshop/tutorial organizers; - brief description of experience in workshop/tutorial organization; - description of the workshop/tutorial topic; - brief ?statement on the ?relation and ?relevance of the ?workshop to FOIS; - intended duration of the workshop (half-day, full-day); - timeline ?for the ?workshop (submission dates, ?notification dates), taking into ?account the ?notification date of ?FOIS and ?the proposed Workshop ?Submission Deadline. ?Workshop proposals ?should be ?sent to jowoworkshops2018 at gmail.com by March 2, 2018. EVALUATION Submissions for ?workshop proposals ?will be ?evaluated by ?members of the ?FOIS ?organizing ?and ?program ?committee, ?using ?the ?following criteria: - Scientific relevance and utility to attendees; - Quality of the proposal; - Likelihood of success of the workshop; - Complementarity with FOIS and overlap with other workshops.
