[iaoa-general] CfP: Ontology for Heterogeneous Knowledge in Design and Planning (KoDeP2024) @ ICCSA

[Stefano Borgo]

The 24th “International Conference on Computational Science and Its 
Applications” (ICCSA2024, https://iccsa.org/)will be held in Hanoi, 
Vietnam - July 1-4, 2024 in *hybrid format*.

This year we organised a special workshop session on *Ontology for 
Heterogeneous Knowledge in Design and Planning (KoDeP2024)* to which we 
invite you and your collaborators to submit a contribution. Please feel 
free to disseminate this invitation to any person you think might be 
interested.

Abstracts and short/long papers submission deadline is March 31 with 
formatting as in the Springer Series guidelines 
(https://iccsa.org/instructions-for-authors).

The aim of the workshop is to explore the connections between applied 
ontology and the theory-in-action (Schon, 1983; Gergen, Zielke, 2006; 
Dick, et al. 2009) space of design (e.g. design theory) and planning 
(e.g. multi-agent planning, organizational theory) frameworks. The 
workshop focuses on the fields of architecture, design, engineering, 
management where applied ontology methodologies can help to develop a 
cognitive framework for the theory-in-action approach by disambiguating 
the terminology and allowing the principled organization of complex 
knowledge.

Ontology, understood as the general theory of types of entities and 
relations making up a domain of inquiry, provides a solid foundation for 
modeling and using heterogeneous knowledge. In the last few years, a 
variety of research results have outlined that design ontology and space 
ontology (geography, environment, places and regions as life 
settlements, urban resilience achievements) are structurally and 
organizationally linked. In this vein, efforts to develop operational 
ontologies in these domains (e.g. individual and/or social, artificial 
and/or natural) should be compared and integrated to produce effective 
and multi-perspective theory-in-action frames. Our main purpose is to 
solicit works aiming to elicit and highlight the richness of 
possibilities that the ontological approach makes accessible in design 
and in planning processes.

*Topics*

Important relations arise between foundational and applied ontologies 
and the above cited knowledge domains.

Among the other issues relevant to the ICCSA conference, the workshop 
pays attention to the following ones:

-the relation between natural objects/artifacts in dealing with complex 
environmental systems; space and time interaction in dealing with the 
making/regeneration of a city or of a design object;

-the relation among cognition, natural and/or formal language, and 
semantics in complex agent-based systems like environmental/urban systems;

- ontology applied to knowledge management; ontology in design;

-ontologies applied to specific sciences or professional domains;

- use of applied ontologies in architecture, engineering, and for the 
general organization of actual space.

The publication in the Springer LNCS series needs to be confirmed.


Paper submission

WORKSHOP PAPERS:

Papers must be between 12 to 18 pages and formatted according to the 
LNCS rules.

PROCEEDINGS

We plan to publish the proceedings as a volume of the Lecture Notes on 
Computer Science (LNCS) edited by Springer (acceptance by Springer 
pending) which are indexed by Scopus, EI Engineering Index, Thomson 
Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (included in ISI Web of 
Science), and several other indexing services. The papers will contain 
linked references, XML versions, and citable DOI numbers.

All reviewed papers will be checked against Plagiarism and Generative AI.

Please feel free to reach us for any information or explanation

We hope to meet you at the Workshop

Best Regards
