==================================================================== 6th International Conference on Knowledge Capture (KCAP2011) -- Celebrating 25 years of Knowledge Acquisition Research -- June 25-29, 2011 Banff, Alberta, Canada http://kcap2011.stanford.edu/ ==================================================================== In today's knowledge-driven society, effective access to and use of information is a key enabler for progress. Modern technologies not only are themselves knowledge intensive, but also they produce enormous amounts of new information that we must process and aggregate. These technologies require knowledge capture, which involves the extraction of useful knowledge from vast and diverse online sources as well as its acquisition directly from human experts. Driven by the demands for knowledge-based applications and the unprecedented availability of information on the Web, the study of knowledge capture has a renewed importance. Researchers who work in the area of knowledge capture traditionally participate in several distinct research communities, including knowledge engineering, machine learning, natural language processing, human–computer interaction, artificial intelligence, and the Semantic Web. K-CAP 2011 will provide a forum that brings together members of disparate research communities who are interested in efficiently capturing knowledge from a variety of sources and in creating representations that can be useful for automated reasoning, analysis, and other forms of machine processing. We solicit high-quality research papers for publication and presentation at our conference. Our aim is to promote multidisciplinary research that could lead to a new generation of tools and methodologies for knowledge capture. K-CAP 2011 follows on the success of five previous conferences in 2009 <http://kcap2009.stanford.edu/> (California, USA), <http://www.k-cap.org/kcap07/kcap07/> 2007 (Whistler, Canada), in <http://www.k-cap.org/kcap05/> 2005 (Banff, Canada), in <http://www.k-cap.org/kcap03/pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/%7Ekremer/conferences/K- CAP2003/index.html> 2003 (Florida, USA), and <http://www.k-cap.org/kcap01/pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/%7Ekremer/conferences/K- CAP2001/index.html> 2001 (Victoria, Canada), and of the series of Knowledge Acquisition Workshops (KAW), the first of which took place in the same location (Banff, Canada) in 1986. K-CAP 2011 is particularly important in the history of our discipline, as it coincides with the 25th anniversary of the first Knowledge Acquisition Workshop at the Banff Centre. The Sixth International Conference on Knowledge Capture, K-CAP 2011 will feature Invited Talks, Technical Papers, Workshops, Posters and Demos on a range of topics including: * Knowledge acquisition tools * Knowledge authoring tools * Knowledge extraction systems * Knowledge management environments * Knowledge capture for the Semantic Web and the Web of Linked Data * Collaborative and social approaches to knowledge management and acquisition * Learning apprentices * Mixed-initiative planning and decision-support tools * Acquisition of problem-solving knowledge * Knowledge-based markup techniques * Advice taking systems * Knowledge engineering and modelling methodologies There will be also a special session in the conference on “25 years of Knowledge Acquisition Research”, in which presented papers and invited talks will review advances in the past 25 years in all the aforementioned areas. Important dates All deadlines are on 11:59PM Hawaii time. Technical papers Paper abstracts due: February 8, 2011 Papers due: February 15, 2011 Author notification: March 31, 2011 Camera-ready copy due: April 30, 2011 Posters and demos Poster and demo submissions: April 15, 2011 Author notifications: May 15, 2011 Technical Paper Submission Guidelines Technical papers must be submitted electronically through the EasyChair <http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kcap2011> submissions website. Submissions must be in PDF format. Microsoft Word users please prepare your paper using the K-CAP <http://kcap11.stanford.edu/resources/KCAP-paper-template.doc> Microsoft Word template. LaTeX users please use the K-CAP <http://kcap11.stanford.edu/resources/acm_proc_10ptArticle-sp.cls> class file, <http://kcap11.stanford.edu/resources/sigproc-KCAPsample.tex> sigproc-KCAPsample.tex example template file (please follow the instructions contained within when submitting), <http://kcap11.stanford.edu/resources/sigproc.bib> sigproc.bib example bibtex file used by sigproc-KCAPsample.tex, and <http://kcap11.stanford.edu/resources/sigproc-KCAPsample.pdf> example pdf of sigproc-KCAPsample.tex. Papers must be no more than 8 unnumbered "US-letter" size pages (including references) using a 10-point Times Roman font for the main body text. All material on each page should fit within a rectangle of 18x23.5 cm (7"x9.25"), centered on the page, beginning 1.9 cm (.75") from the top of the page and ending with 2.54 cm (1") from the bottom. The right and left margins should be 1.9 cm (.75"). The text should be in two 8.45 cm (3.33") columns with a .83 cm (.33") gutter. Specific instructions for titles, headings, graphics and tables appear in the template files. Papers that violate the guidelines may be rejected without review.
