EKAW 2008 – Call for Posters and Demos (first call)

16th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge
Management – "Knowledge Patterns"
29th September-3rd October 2008 - Acitrezza, Catania (Italy)
http://ekaw2008.inrialpes.fr

The Poster Session at EKAW 2008 is an opportunity to discuss
late-breaking results, ongoing research projects, and innovative
work-in-progress which may not yet be ready for a full paper. We are
looking for contributions whose nature make them less suited for
submission to the official paper track. In addition to posters we are
looking for demonstrations of new systems both for eliciting, acquiring,
modelling and managing knowledge, as well as knowledge-intensive systems
and services for the semantic web, knowledge management, e-business,
natural language processing, intelligent integration of information,
etc.

In particular, but not exclusively, we solicit posters and demos
concerned with the general theme of “knowledge patterns” and/or the
following topics:

ONTOLOGY DESIGN
    * Ontology design patterns
    * Collaborative ontology design
    * Ontology dynamics
    * Ontology evaluation and selection
    * Automatic ontology construction

NETWORKED ONTOLOGIES OVER THE SEMANTIC WEB
    * Ontology matching
    * Web semantics
    * Semantic social networks
    * Semantic Wikis, Semantic Blogs
    * Semantics in multimedia technologies
    * Contextual reasoning

KNOWLEDGE REENGINEERING
    * Ontology learning
    * Knowledge-based information extraction
    * Reengineering conceptual models and schemas
    * Reengineering folksonomies, lexicons, thesauri
    * Hybridating Ontology Engineering and NLP techniques

PROCESS KNOWLEDGE AND SEMANTIC SERVICES
    * Ontologies and agents
    * Semantic web services
    * Semantic portals and intrawebs
    * Semantic mashup
    * Semantic grid services
    * Knowledge Services for e-Science
    * Problem solving methods and semantic web services
    * Peer to Peer communication between semantic systems
    * Brokering systems

SOCIAL AND COGNITIVE ASPECTS OF KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING
    * Human factors in knowledge management
    * Sustainability and cost analysis of knowledge engineering
    * Human-ontology interaction
    * Cognitive systems and knowledge engineering

Poster papers will be evaluated by the program committee based on
criteria such as originality, significance, and clarity. Demo proposals
will be evaluated based on novelty and significance of the application
as well as the use of knowledge engineering and knowledge management
technologies for solving the problem. Specific attention will this year
be put on the notion of “knowledge patterns” and both poster submissions
and demos considering this topic will be especially appreciated.

Poster and demo submissions should be in the form of an extended
abstract. Poster abstracts may not exceed 3 pages in length and demo
submissions may not exceed 5 pages, both should conform to the Springer
LNCS style. Note that poster and demo papers will NOT be included in the
EKAW proceedings published as Springer LNCS but published separately by
the organising agency (they will additionally be made available at the
EKAW website). Submissions are accepted in PDF format only and should be
uploaded at the EasyChair conference submissions site. For details on
formatting and submissions refer to the conference website:
http://ekaw2008.inrialpes.fr

Accepted posters will be displayed at the conference. Details about
poster size, display materials, sessions etc. will be made available
later. Presenters of demos will also be requested to attend the
poster/demo session to demonstrate their system to the conference
attendees. At least one author of each accepted submission must register
for the conference and attend the poster/demo session.

IMPORTANT DATES

June 10  – Submission opens
June 16  – Submission deadline for poster/demo extended abstracts
July 7  – Notification of acceptance
August 22  – Camera ready deadline for poster/demo abstracts
