Apologies for multiple posting Please redistribute locally ________________________ EKAW 2008 - Second Call for Papers 16th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management "Knowledge Patterns" 29th September-3rd October 2008 - Acitrezza, Catania (Italy) http://ekaw2008.inrialpes.fr Knowledge is considered as the most important asset in our modern society. It has now penetrated all facets of computing practice: from the rise of knowledge management to the semantic web and from the blog culture to the knowledge economy. This penetration has made proper knowledge engineering a most required feature. The 16th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management is concerned with all aspects of eliciting, acquiring, modelling and managing knowledge, and their role in the construction of knowledge-intensive systems and services for the semantic web, knowledge management, e-business, natural language processing, intelligent integration information, etc. This year we will also pay special attention to the topic of "knowledge patterns" that can be considered as good practices or models that are applied or reused throughout the knowledge engineering lifecycle. Hence, beyond traditional topics of EKAW, we solicit papers that cover research on how to describe, classify, model, extract, and apply knowledge patterns in the design of ontologies, applications and products. We regard highly the description of experiences that involve the application and identification of knowledge patterns in social network analysis, natural language processing, multimedia analysis, pattern recognition, etc. This call is for regular and student research papers. EKAW 2008 will also feature a tutorial program, posters and demos track, and an Industry Panel. The calls for these events are separate and can be found on the conference Web site. Student Papers Tracks Student track will select the four best papers for presentation, which will be awarded with a scholarship sponsored by the EU NeOn Project - http://www.neon-project.org Best Research Paper Award An award will be given to the best paper (or papers) submitted to the conference as judged by the Program Chairs in collaboration with the Program Committee. Conference Topics of Interest and Area Keywords EKAW 2008 welcomes the submission of original research and application papers dealing with theoretical, methodological, experimental, and application aspects. In particular, but not exclusively, we solicit papers about methodologies, models, and tools for the following topics: ONTOLOGY DESIGN Ontology design patterns Collaborative ontology design Ontology dynamics Ontology modularization Ontology evaluation and selection Automatic ontology construction NETWORKED ONTOLOGIES Ontology matching Web semantics Semantic social networks Semantics and Web2.0 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 Important Dates Abstract Submission: April 14th, 2008 Full Paper Submission: April 21st, 2008 Notification: June 9th, 2008 Camera Ready: June 30th, 2008 Conference: Sept 29 - Oct 3, 2008 Submissions Paper submission and reviewing for EKAW 2008 will be electronic via the conference submissions site available at http://www.easychair.org/ conferences/?conf=ekaw2008. Full papers should not exceed sixteen (16) pages for regular ƒs and six (6) pages for student papers in length and must be formatted according to the information for LNCS authors. The submission of a short abstract (using the online submission facility) will ease the reviewer assignment for research papers. Note that submission of posters and demos will only be possible from June 10th, 2008. Papers must be submitted in PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format) format and will *not* be accepted in any other format. Papers that exceed the maximum number of pages or do not follow the LNCS guidelines risk being rejected automatically without a review. Authors of accepted papers will be required to provide semantic annotations for the abstract of their submission -- details of this process will be provided on the conference web page at the time of acceptance. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference. Conference Proceedings The proceedings of EKAW 2008 will be published by Springer Verlag in the LNCS/LNAI Lecture Notes in Computer Science/Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series (http://www.springer.com/lncs).
