Introduction
Smart cities (also smarter cities) use digital technologies to enhance performance and wellbeing, to reduce costs and resource consumption, and to engage more effectively and actively with its citizens. Developing a smart city to better support growing urban population is a global and complex challenge and involves interdisciplinary fields. Key ‘smart’ sectors include transportation, smart building, energy, health care, and water systems. IEEE SmartCity is aiming to be a premier international conference in smart city. This conference is to bring together computer scientists, industrial engineers and researchers to discuss and exchange experimental or theoretical results, novel designs, work-in-progress, experience, case studies, and trend-setting ideas in the area of smart city.

BEWARE-23 @AIXIA Rome, 6-9 November 2023
September 12th, 2023 Daniela Lopez de Luise
BEWARE-23
The 2nd international workshop on the emerging ethical aspects of AI, with a focus on Bias, Risk, Explainability and the role of Logic and Computational Logic. BEWARE23 is co-located with the AIxIA 2023 conference. Note that the deadline has been extended to the **17th of September**.
Aims and Scope
Current AI applications do not guarantee objectivity and are riddled with biases and legal difficulties. AI systems need to perform safely, but problems of opacity, bias and risk are pressing. Definitional and foundational issues about what kinds of bias and risks are involved in opaque AI technologies are still very much open. Moreover, AI is challenging Ethics and brings the need to rethink the basis of Ethics.
In this context, it is natural to look for theories, tools and technologies to address the problem of automatically detecting biases and implementing ethical decision-making. Logic, Computational Logic and formal ontologies have great potential in this area of research, as logic rules are easily comprehensible by humans and favour the representation of causality, which is a crucial aspect of ethical decision-making. Nonetheless, their expressivity and transparency need to be integrated within conceptual taxonomies and socio-economic analyses that place AI technologies in their broader context of application and determine their overall impact.
This workshop addresses issues of logical, ethical and epistemological nature in AI through the use of interdisciplinary approaches. We aim to bring together researchers in AI, philosophy, ethics, epistemology, social science, etc., to promote collaborations and enhance discussions towards the development of trustworthy AI methods and solutions that users and stakeholders consider technologically reliable and socially acceptable.
The workshop invites submissions from computer scientists, philosophers, economists and sociologists wanting to discuss contributions ranging from the formulation of epistemic and normative principles for AI, their conceptual representation in formal models, to their development in formal design procedures and translation into computational implementations.
Topics of interest include, but are not at all limited to:
Conceptual and formal definitions of bias, risk and opacity in AI
Epistemological and normative principles for fair and trustworthy AI
Ethical AI and the challenges brought by AI to Ethics
Explainable AI
Uncertainty in AI
Ontological modelling of trustworthy as opposed to biased AI systems
Defining trust and its determinants for implementation in AI systems
Methods for evaluating and comparing the performances of AI systems
Approaches to verification of ethical behaviour
Logic Programming Applications in Machine Ethics
Integrating Logic Programing with methods for Machine Ethics and Explainable AI
Submission
The workshop invites (possibly non-original) submissions of FULL PAPERS (up to 15 pages) and SHORT PAPERS (up to 5 pages). Short papers are particularly suitable to present work in progress, extended abstracts, doctoral theses, or general overviews of research projects. Note that all papers will undergo a careful peer-reviewer process and, if accepted, camera-ready versions of the papers will be published on the AIxIA subseries of CEUR proceedings (Scopus indexed).
Manuscripts must be formatted using the 1-column CEUR-ART Style (you can access the Overleaf template here). For more information, please see the CEUR website http://ceur-ws.org/HOWTOSUBMIT.html. Papers must be submitted through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=beware23.

Introduction
Data, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom, in short (DIKW), have been used widely as marking terms in various domains for expressing and exchanging semantic or conceptual subjective or objective understandings. However, there are still no unified understandings over the meaning of the DIKW concepts. Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom as a whole concept of DIKW is also missing unified understandings of the relationships among them. Therefore, there have been proposals and models of DIKW as “layered hierarchy”, “architecture”, “framework”, “network”, “thinking mode”, “pattern”, “style”, “theory”, “methodology”, “model”, “graph”, etc.
2023 International Conference on Data, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom (DIKW 2023) aims to bring together scientists, researchers, and industrial engineers to exchange experimental and theoretical Data/Information/Knowledge/Wisdom modeling and processing results, novel designs, explainable AI, AI governance, work-in-progress and case studies on theories, design mechanisms and extensions on DIKW transformations and interactions in all areas, in all phases, empirical or theoretical solutions.
Scope and Topics
Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
– Theories, Algorithms and Platforms for Data Analytics and Information Retrieving
– Data Provenance, Cleaning, Curation and Governance Services
– Data, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom Sharing, Integration and Migration
– Real-time Data Modeling and Information Provision Services and Applications
