========================================================
CALL FOR POSTERS AND DEMOS
20th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management (EKAW 2016)

Conference days: 19-23 November 2016, Bologna, Italy
Paper submission: September 9, 2016

========================================================


The Demos and Posters session at EKAW 2016 aims to complement the research track by providing an opportunity to present and discuss late-breaking results, on-going projects and innovative prototypes. The informal setting of the D&P session encourages presenters and participants to engage in discussions about the presented work. Such discussions can be invaluable inputs for the future work of the presenters, while offering participants an effective way to broaden their knowledge of the emerging research trends and to start collaborations with other researchers.

We invite submissions relevant to the area of knowledge management, knowledge representation, engineering and acquisition, and knowledge in use; paying special attention to the EKAW focus on knowledge evolution. Technical posters, reports on software systems, descriptions of completed work, and work in progress are all welcome. 

Demonstrations are intended to showcase innovative knowledge management related implementations and technologies. All submissions are intended to convey a scientific 
result or work in progress and should not be advertisements for commercial software packages.
