TOPICS OF INTEREST =================== EKAW 2022 welcomes long and short papers dealing with theoretical, methodological, experimental, and application-oriented aspects of knowledge engineering and knowledge management. In particular, but not exclusively, we solicit papers about methods, tools and methodologies on the following topics: - Knowledge Engineering and Acquisition * Methods, techniques and tools for knowledge acquisition and ontology engineering * Ontology design patterns * Ontology localisation and multilinguality * Ontology mapping and alignment * Ontology evaluation and metrics * Semi-automatic knowledge acquisition, e.g., ontology learning * Collaborative knowledge engineering * Uncertainty and vagueness in knowledge representation * Dealing with dynamic, distributed and emerging knowledge - Knowledge Management and Governance * Methods, techniques and tools for knowledge management * Knowledge sharing and distribution, collaboration * Methods for accelerating take-up of knowledge management technologies * Ontology and knowledge governance * Knowledge evolution, maintenance and preservation * Incentives for human knowledge acquisition and data quality improvement - Ethical and Trustworthy Knowledge Engineering * Ethics, trust and privacy in knowledge representation and reasoning * Explainable AI * Transparency for knowledge-based systems * FAIR data and FAIR knowledge * Provenance and trust in knowledge management * Inclusivity and diversity in knowledge representation - Social and Cognitive Aspects of Knowledge Engineering * Similarity and analogy-based reasoning * Knowledge representation inspired by cognitive science * Synergies between humans and machines * Knowledge emerging from user interaction and (social) networks * Knowledge ecosystems * Crowdsourcing in knowledge management - Knowledge discovery * Mining the web of data for knowledge construction * Text mining and ontology engineering * Classification and clustering for knowledge management * Mining patterns and association rules * Neuro-symbolic Artificial Intelligence - Applications in specific domains such as: * eGovernment and public administration * Media * Life sciences, health and medicine * Humanities and Social Sciences * Automotive and manufacturing industry * Cultural heritage * Digital libraries * Geosciences * ICT4D (Knowledge in the developing world) TYPES OF PAPERS =============== We will accept three types of papers. The papers will all have the same status and follow the same formatting guidelines in the proceedings but will receive special treatment during the reviewing phase. In particular, each paper type will be subject to its own evaluation criteria. At submission time the paper has to be clearly identified as belonging to one of the following categories. All three paper types can be in the form of long and short papers. * Research papers (long and short): These are standard papers presenting a novel method, technique or analysis with appropriate empirical or other types of evaluation as a proof-of-concept. The main evaluation criteria here will be originality, technical soundness and validation. * In-use papers (long and short): Here we are expecting papers describing applications of knowledge management and engineering in real environments. Applications need to address a sufficiently interesting and challenging problem on real-world datasets, involving many users.. The focus is less on the originality of the approach and more on presenting systems that solve a significant problem while addressing the particular challenges that come with the use of real-world data. Evaluations are essential for this type of paper and should involve a representative subset of the actual users of the system. * Position papers (long and short): We invite researchers to also publish position papers, which describe novel and innovative ideas. Position papers may also comprise an analysis of currently unsolved problems, or review these problems from a new perspective, in order to contribute to a better understanding of these problems in the research community. We expect that such papers will guide future research by highlighting critical assumptions, motivating the difficulty of a certain problem or explaining why current techniques are not sufficient, possibly corroborated by quantitative and qualitative arguments. IMPORTANT DATES ================ * Abstract Submission deadline: June 3, 2022 * Full paper Submission deadline: June 10, 2022 * Notification of acceptance: July 12, 2022 * Camera-ready paper: July 26, 2022 * Conference days: September 26-29, 2022 All submission deadlines are 23:59:59 AoE. SUBMISSIONS ============ Pre-submission of abstracts is a strict requirement. All papers and abstracts have to be submitted electronically via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ekaw2022 All submissions must be in English. Long papers should not be longer than 15 pages (references included), and short papers should not be longer than 7 pages (references included). Submissions must be in PDF, formatted in the style of LNCS conference proceedings. For details, see https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines.

More specifically, CAOS investigates key cognitive phenomena and concepts (and the involved terminology) that can be found across language, psychology, and reasoning, and how they can be formally and ontologically understood and analysed. The exploration of the connection between cognitive sciences/experimental psychology and ontologies, as well as, more generally, symbolic AI, aims also to provide formal and logical modelling and reasoning approaches for capturing such connections. CAOS, thus, seeks answers to ways such formalisations and ontological analysis can be exploited in Artificial Intelligence and information systems, also in practical application. We welcome submissions on topics related to the ontology of hypothesised building blocks of cognition (such as image schemas, affordances, categories, and related notions) and of cognitive capacities (such as concept invention and combination, language acquisition and categorisation), as well as system-demonstrations modelling these capacities in application settings. We also welcome submissions addressing the cognitive and epistemological adequacy of ontological modelling. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): • Ontologies of cognitive phenomena • Cognitive foundations of ontologies and ontologies of cognitive theories (e.g. connection with conceptual spaces, diagrammatic representations, mental models, prototypes, image schemas, scripts etc.) • Empirical foundations of ontologies: ontologies driven from observations, measurements, tests (and in general from data acquired using empirical procedures) • Logic and Cognition (challenges, possible solutions and validation scenarios) • Formal representation of cognitive structures / functions / processes • Knowledge Representation and Common-Sense • Formalisation/modelling of language, image schemas and/or affordance • Concept invention and concept combination • Cognitive and language development from an ontological perspective • Metaphors and analogies (formal representation, ontological analysis) • AI for language understanding • Knowledge acquisition and categorisation in AI and Robotics • Concept-based computational creativity • Embodied cognition, image schemas, affordances for AI • Neural networks and ontological modelling. We welcome researchers from all career stages to participate. Besides full research papers, work in progress (short papers) and extended abstracts (presentation only) are also welcome since a central goal of the workshop is the discussion of ongoing interdisciplinary work. All research papers must be original and not submitted to or accepted by any other workshop, conference or journal. Note, that for inclusion in the JOWO proceedings, short papers are required to be at least 5 pages long. All contributions will be peer-reviewed, and the review process will be managed in a collaborative and transparent manner using the EasyChair System as part of the JOWO conference. Submissions Submission deadline: June 3 , 2022 Submission link: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=jowo2022 (select the track for CAOS VI: “Cognition And OntologieS”) Paper formats: We encourage three types of contributions: • Full research paper: submitted papers must have between 10 and 12 pages + an additional page for references (if necessary). • Short paper: submitted papers must have between 5 and 6 pages + an additional page for references (if necessary). • Abstract for presentation: 1-2 page abstracts (including references) for presentation. (Note that abstracts will not be included in the proceedings as a research paper, but included in the introduction to the workshop proceedings.) Papers should be submitted non-anonymously in PDF format in compliance with the new 1-column CEUR-ART Style. Word and Latex templates can be found at: https://ceurws.wordpress.com/2020/03/31/ceurws-publishes-ceurart-paper-style/ All contributions to JOWO workshops will be published in a joint CEUR proceedings volume, compare: JOWO 2021: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2969/ JOWO 2020: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2708/ JOWO 2019: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2518/ JOWO 2018: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2205/ Organisation Guendalina Righetti, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano Maria Hedblom, Jönköping University Oliver Kutz, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano Program Committee Taisuke Akimoto, Kyushu Institute of Technology Hadi Banaee, Örebro University Daniel Beßler, University of Bremen João Miguel Cunha, University of Coimbra Roberta Ferrario, CNR Laura Giordano, Università del Piemonte Orientale Gabriele Kern-Isberner, Technische Universität Dortmund Martha Lewis, University of Amsterdam Daniele Porello, University of Genoa Marco Schorlemmer, Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, IIIA-CSIC Tony Veale, University College Dublin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
