This second edition of the Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO-16) combines 
five exciting ontology-centered workshops at FOIS-16.

WORKSHOPS:

- Ontology Modularity, Contextuality, and Evolution (WOMoCoE 2016)
- Computer vision + ONTology: Applied Cross-disciplinary Technologies 
(CONTACT 2016)
- Cognition and Ontologies (CAOS 2016)
- New Standards for the Working Ontologist: Common Logic and DOL (NSWO 2016)
- Ontologies and Conceptual Modeling (Onto.Com <http://onto.com> 2016)

JOWO-16 is supported by the International Association for Ontology and 
its Applications - IAOA. It features a series of (shared) invited talks, 
paper presentations, and discussions spread across five full-day 
workshops and tutorials.

==================================
WOMoCoE 2016
http://www.iaoa.org/womocoe/2016/
International Workshop on Ontology Modularity, Contextuality, and Evolution
==================================

Organisers: Stefano Borgo, Loris Bozzato, Chiara Del Vescovo, Martin Homola

This workshop brings together two long standing event series: WoMO, the 
workshops on modular ontology, and ARCOE, the workshops on automated 
reasoning on context and ontology evolution. The goal is to discuss 
these topics in a single venue and try to compare/integrate the new 
ideas on ontology modularity, context and evolution. The workshop is 
open to theoretical and application research, experiences and innovative 
visions featuring a Program Committee with a mix of experienced and 
young groundbreaking people. WOMOCoE will feature an invited talk by 
Jerome Euzenat.

==================================
CONTACT 2016

Second International Workshop on Computer vision + ONTology:
Applied Cross-disciplinary Technologies
==================================

Organisers: Marco Cristani, Céline Hudelot, Daniele Porello

The aim of the CONTACT series is to bring together a wide range of 
researchers in formal ontology on the one side and computer vision and 
machine learning on the other, to share innovative ideas and solutions 
for exploiting the potential synergies emerging from the integration of 
the two domains. The problem of image and video understanding is a 
complex task that benefits from a multi-disciplinary perspective. 
CONTACT provides a venue to discuss a principled methodology to ascribe 
meaning to images and videos, as well as the applications of this 
methodology to querying image databases, reasoning about images and 
scenes, inferring information from videos.


==================================
CAOS 2016
http://caos.inf.unibz.it/
First International Workshop on Cognition and Ontologies
==================================

Organisers: Maria M. Hedblom, Tarek R. Besold, Oliver Kutz, Tony Veale

CAOS is for researchers interested in discussing cognitive mechanisms 
and phenomena from an ontological perspective. Work on artificial 
intelligence, cognitive systems, applied ontology, natural language 
processing, reasoning, formal concept invention, and philosophical 
aspects of the former are the main focus of the workshop. (Still, all 
other topics relating cognition and ontology are of course equally 
welcome.) We especially encourage submissions on different theories of 
cognition, work addressing the symbol grounding problem(s), and attempts 
to make concrete the abstract nature of concepts and metaphors.
CAOS will feature an invited talk by Jean M. Mandler. Join us!

==================================
NSWO 2016
http://nswo.inf.unibz.it
New Standards for the Working Ontologist: Common Logic and DOL
==================================

Organisers: Michael Gruninger, Oliver Kutz, Till Mossakowski, Fabian Neuhaus

NSWO 2016 will be entirely devoted to two new standards in the realm of 
applied ontology: the second revision of Common Logic and the new 
Distributed Ontology, Model, and Specification Language, DOL. NSWO will 
provide tutorials introducing syntax and semantics of both Common Logic 
and DOL. We will be discussing a number of modelling and 
interoperability problems that can be addressed with these standards, 
analyse the mostly complementary relationship between Common Logic and 
DOL, and demonstrate available tools.  NSWO also invites contributed 
scientific papers involving Common Logic and/or DOL.

==================================
Onto.Com <http://onto.com> 2016
http://www.mis.ugent.be/ontocom2016/
Ontologies and Conceptual Modeling
==================================

Organisers: Giancarlo Guizzardi, Sergio de Cesare, Frederik Gailly, Mark 
Lycett, Chris Partridge, Oscar Pastor

This year the theme of Onto.Com <http://onto.com> will be Foundational 
Ontologies and their Meta-ontological Choices. Leading ontologists and 
conceptual modelers will be invited to discuss and comparatively analyze 
different foundational ontologies, their meta-ontological choices and 
their associated modeling processes. The workshop will be practically 
oriented and discussions will be centered on models produced for a 
common case study. This will facilitate discussions related to the 
consequences of making different meta-ontological choices.


----------------------------------
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Please refer to the individual workshops for detailed lists of topics
appropriate for each workshop and submission modalities.

All submissions will be peer-reviewed by members of the program
committees of the individual workshops. Accepted papers will be made
available in the form of a single joint workshop proceedings volume 
published at CEUR.

For additional publication plans check the individual workshops.
