The 37th ACM SIGAPP Symposium On Applied Computing
Brno, Czech Republic
April 25 – April 29, 2022
Track on Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KRR)
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: October 15, 2021
###############################################################
Overview:
The topic of the track covers an important field of research in Artificial Intelligence: Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KRR) is dedicated to representing information about the world in a form that a computer system can utilise to solve complex tasks. Examples of knowledge representation formalisms include semantic nets, systems architecture, frames, rules, and ontologies. Some examples of automated reasoning engines include inference engines, theorem provers, and classifiers. KRR track will be a venue for all the researchers and practitioners working on the fundaments and applications of reasoning, and cross-fertilisation among different areas (e.g., Argumentation and Belief Revision). ACM SAC is ranked CORE:B, MAS:A-, SHINE:A. The average acceptance rate per track is under 25%. KRR track is organised for the third consecutive year at SAC.
Call for paper:
Knowledge Representation is the field of artificial intelligence that focuses on designing computer representations that capture information about the world that can be used to solve complex problems. Its goal is to understand and build intelligent behaviour from the top-down, focusing on what an agent needs to know with the purpose to behave intelligently, how this knowledge can be represented symbolically, and how automated reasoning procedures can make this knowledge available as needed. In KRR a fundamental assumption is that an agent's knowledge is explicitly represented in a declarative form, suitable for processing by dedicated reasoning engines. Topics of interest include:
• Argumentation.
• Belief revision and update, belief merging.
• Commonsense reasoning.
• Contextual reasoning.
• Description logics.
• Diagnosis, abduction, explanation.
• Inconsistency and exception tolerant reasoning, paraconsistent logics.
• KR and autonomous agents: intelligent agents, cognitive robotics, multi-agent systems.
• KR and decision making, game theory, social choice.
• KR and machine learning, inductive logic programming, knowledge discovery and acquisition.
• Logic programming, answer set programming, constraint (logic) programming.
• Non-monotonic logics, default logics, conditional logics.
• Preferences: modelling and representation, preference-based reasoning.
• Reasoning about knowledge and belief, dynamic epistemic logic, epistemic and doxastic logics.
• Reasoning systems and solvers, knowledge compilation.
• Spatial reasoning and temporal reasoning, qualitative reasoning.
• Uncertainty, representations of vagueness, many-valued and fuzzy logics.
We would like to invite authors to submit papers on research in the KRR area, with particular emphasis on assessing the current state of the art and identifying future directions.
Submissions fall into the following categories:
• Original and unpublished research work.
• Reports of innovative computing applications in the arts, sciences, engineering, and business areas.
• Reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains.
• Reports of industrial experience and demos of new innovative systems.
Deadlines and Important Dates:
October 15, 2021: Submission of regular papers and SRC abstracts.
December 10, 2021: Notification of papers and posters and SRC acceptance/rejection.
December 21, 2021: Camera-ready copies of accepted papers, and registration of at least one author.

Submissions Instructions for Regular Papers and SRC Abstracts:
Original papers addressing any of the listed topics of interest (or related topics) will be considered. Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a double-blind review process by at least three referees. Accepted papers will be included in the ACM SAC 2022 proceedings and published in the ACM digital library, being indexed by Thomson ISI Web of Knowledge and Scopus. Submissions should be properly anonymised to facilitate blind reviewing: the author(s) name(s) and address(es) must NOT appear in the body of the paper, and self-reference should be in the third person.
Paper size is *strictly* limited to 8 pages in SAC style; a maximum of 2 additional pages may be included for an additional fee, extending the final version of the accepted paper.
Please check the author kit latex style on the main SAC website: https://www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2022/authorkit.html. Papers failing to comply with length limitations risk immediate rejection.
Submissions will be in electronic format, via the website: (TO BE ANNOUNCED)
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO SELECT THE KRR TRACK BY CHECKING THE TRACK RADIO BUTTON!!!
Students are invited to submit research abstracts (maximum of 4 pages in ACM camera-ready format) following the instructions published on the SAC 2022 website. Submission of the same abstract to multiple tracks is not allowed. Authors of selected abstracts will have the opportunity to give poster and oral presentations of their work and compete for three top-winning places. The SRC committee will evaluate and select First, Second, and Third place winners. The winners will receive medals and cash awards. Winners will be announced during the conference banquet. Invited students receive SRC travel support (US$500) and are eligible to apply to the SIGAPP Student Travel Award Program (STAP) for additional travel support.

SAC No-Show Policy:
Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of the paper/poster in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the paper. This is a requirement for the paper/poster to be included in the ACM digital library. No-show of registered papers and posters will result in excluding them from the ACM digital library.

Call for workshop proposals
August 5th, 2021 Daniela Lopez de Luise http://wacv2022.thecvf.com/
We invite workshop proposals for the 2022 IEEE Winter Conference of
Applications on Computer Vision (WACV 2022). WACV 2022 will be held as
an in-person conference with associated in-person workshops in Waikoloa,
Hawaii, January 4-8, 2022.
The workshop proposals should focus on topics related to computer vision
and its applications, interdisciplinary themes with other scientific and
application areas, as well as emerging challenges or competitions. The
format, style, and content of accepted workshops are under the control
of the workshop organizers and largely autonomous from the main
conference. Workshop organizers are expected to manage their technical
programs, invite experts in the domain, and maintain a website for the
workshop. Workshop registration and logistics will be handled by the
main conference.
*** Important Dates ***
Workshop proposal deadline: August 16th, 2021

About IWDSC
================================================================
Smart camera networks are becoming a fundamental piece of our intelligent cities, buildings, and homes, progressively inserting themselves into our lives. From smart surveillance systems composed of a multitude of smart camera nodes to small wearable cameras able to render a visual log of our daily experience, these devices interact with each other and with a wealth of other smart things, and of course the internet. Their rapid development is possible thanks to the convergence of several technologies. From advanced image sensors and vision chips to embedded vision systems capable of efficient feature extraction, image encoding and wireless transmission of the relevant visual content: This technology opens the door to new application domains, where video analytics and the extraction of semantic information from the scene is performed in a distributed fashion, implementing a new type of cooperative and/or collaborative vision.
