CI2S Enterprise Content Admin — First Call for Papers —
==============================
Submission deadline: April 27, 2015
==============================
This first edition of the Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO-15) combines
four exciting ontology-centered workshops at IJCAI-15. Together with
ontology work presented at IJCAI itself, we will transform Buenos
Aires for a week into the largest venue for ontology research of the
year.
JOWO-15 is supported by the International Association for Ontology
and its Applications – IAOA. It will feature a series of (shared)
invited talks, paper presentations, and discussions spread across
four independent full-day workshops run over a period of three days:
==============================
Workshop on Formal Ontologies for Artificial Intelligence (FOfAI)
==============================
http://www.sadio.org.ar/lists/
chairs: Stefano Borgo, Oliver Kutz, and Daniele Porello
FOfAI aims to establish a venue for researchers in AI with a strong
interest in applied ontology. In particular, we aim to foster an
interdisciplinary discussion and cross-fertilization among a number
of communities by proposing a venue to exchange foundational,
methodological, and applicative perspectives. The workshop thus
encourages submission of articles on both theoretical, computational,
and linguistic issues in the use of ontologies in AI as well as the
concrete use of non-trivial ontologies in AI systems and
applications.
FOfAI is generously sponsored by the Association for Logic, Language
and Information – FoLLI.
==============================
9th Int. Workshop on Modular Ontologies (WoMO 2015)
==============================
http://www.sadio.org.ar/lists/
chairs: Kenneth Baclawski, Torsten Hahmann, Pavel Klinov, Adila
Krisnadhi
This workshop brings together researchers from all subareas of AI and
from related disciplines and application domains to discuss latest and
current work on theoretical and practical aspects of modularity in
ontologies. Topics include modularity as enabling technology for
knowledge repositories and collaborative knowledge development
environments and as a tool for reducing the complexity of designing
and understanding ontologies, and to facilitating ontology
verification, reasoning, maintenance and integration.
==============================
1st Workshop on Belief Change and Non-Monotonic Reasoning in
Ontologies and Databases
==============================
http://www.sadio.org.ar/lists/
<http://www.sadio.org.ar/
chairs: Eduardo Fermé, Thomas Meyer and Renata Wassermann
This workshop will bring together researchers working in the areas of
logic-based ontologies, belief change, and database systems, along
with researchers working in relevant areas in non-monotonic
reasoning, commonsense reasoning, and paraconsistent reasoning. Hence
the workshop will facilitate discussions on the application of
existing work in belief change, non-monotonic reasoning, commonsense
reasoning, and related areas on the one hand, to logic-based
ontologies and databases on the other.
==============================
Ontologies and logic programming for query answering
==============================
http://www.sadio.org.ar/lists/
chairs: Odile Papini, Marie-Laure Mugnier, Laurent Garcia, Salem
Benferhat
The aim of this workshop is to bridge knowledge representation and
reasoning in artificial intelligence and web of knowledge communities
in order to encourage the emergence of new solutions for reasoning
with lightweight ontologies. Particular topics include query
answering while taking ontologies into account and
nonmonotonic reasoning for inconsistency handling and exception
handling and expressing default negations in ontologies, with a
special interest in logic programming for implementations.
IMPORTANT DATES
Paper Submission: April 27, 2015
Notification: May 20, 2015
Camera ready: May 30, 2015
Workshop: July, 2015
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Please refer to the individual workshops for detailed lists of topics
appropriate for each workshop.
Submissions can be long papers (up to 8 pages) or short papers (up to
4 pages), formatted using the AAAI style (available from
http://www.sadio.org.ar/lists/
), submitted in PDF format no later than the submission deadline.
All submission are handled through Easychair. Use
http://www.sadio.org.ar/lists/
for submissions to any of the first three workshops, and select the
track that corresponds to the workshop most appropriate for your
work. For the last workshop “Ontologies and logic programming for
query answering”, submissions are handled separately through
http://www.sadio.org.ar/lists/
All submissions will be peer-reviewed by members of the program
committee of the individual workshops. Accepted papers will be made
available in the form of a joint workshop proceedings. For additional
publication plans check the individual workshops.
