*FOIS 2023 - Call For Workshop and Tutorial Proposals*
Submission deadline: January 6, 2023
Website: https://fois2023.griis.ca/call-for-workshop-and-tutorial-proposals/
Questions to: fois2023 at gmail.com

The Workshop and Tutorial Chairs for FOIS 2023 invite proposals for 
workshops and tutorials to be held on site in conjunction with FOIS 2023 
before or after the main conference which will take place July 17-20, 
2023 in Sherbrooke, Canada 
(https://iaoa.org/index.php/2022/11/17/fois-2023-call-for-paper/).

Workshops and tutorials at FOIS 2023 are events whose scientific program 
is independently established by the workshop organizers. They 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 broadly related to ontologies, formal ontology, and 
knowledge management and their application in information science or 
other areas. Together, the workshops can 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. They are especially 
suitable for interdisciplinary and innovative formats.

Previous JOWO (Joint Ontology Workshops)/FOIS workshops were held in 
2021 in Bozen-Bolzano, Italy (hybrid); 2020 (virtually); 2019 in Graz, 
Austria; 2018 in Cape Town, South Africa; 2017 in Bolzano, Italy; 2016 
in Annecy, France; and at IJCAI 2015 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

As in earlier years, all contributions to accepted workshops will be 
published open access in a joint CEUR proceedings volume, as part of the 
new IAOA series (http://ceur-ws.org/iaoa.html).
Researchers and practitioners interested in the theory, practice, 
development and/or application of ontologies and related areas 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 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 instructions

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. Please indicate a 
primary contact person. For organizational purposes, there must be at 
least two organizers who commit to be physically present during the 
event taking part in Canada;
●    brief description of experience in workshop/tutorial organization;
●    description of the workshop/tutorial topic;
●    brief description of the expected audience (please give an estimate 
of the expected number of participants and their background and 
interests; if applicable, please relate this to participation in similar 
prior events);
●    intended duration of the workshop (between half a day and a full day);
●    timeline for the workshop (submission dates, notification dates), 
taking into account the proposed “important dates” below.

Workshop and tutorial proposals should be sent to fois2023 at gmail.com by 
January 6, 2023.
