[CfP] Extended Deadline Workshop on Interaction-based Knowledge Sharing (WINKS)

Dear colleagues, 

Upon multiple requests we have decided to extend the submission deadline for the Workshop on Interaction-based Knowledge Sharing ( WINKS ) by one week to 24 July 2017. 

Best wishes, 
Dagmar, Kemo, Jerome 


*** Extended Deadline Monday 24 July 2017 for ALL submissions*** 

SCOPE 
This first Workshop on Interaction-Based Knowledge Sharing ( WINKS ) collocated with the third Joint Ontology Workshop ( http://iaoa.org/jowo/JOWO-2017/ ) is fully dedicated to challenges and solutions to knowledge sharing in interaction-based environments, ranging from the Internet of Things to multi-agent systems. Gradually expanding, distributed systems heighten the need of a dynamic interactive knowledge sharing process, while at the same time an increasing heterogeneity of resources renders this process more complex. As a highly interdisciplinary workshop, discussions will center on requirements and suggestions to endow computational models with knowledge sharing capabilities in interactive scenarios.

- Theories of knowledge sharing in human-human interaction 
- Sharing semantics in natural language interactions 
- Knowledge sharing in robotics and autonomous systems 
- Cognitive aspects of knowledge sharing 
- Multidisciplinary approaches to interaction-based knowledge sharing 

Interaction-Based Reasoning:
