[Apologies for multiple copies] EKAW 2008 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION 16th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management "Knowledge Patterns" http://ekaw2008.inrialpes.fr Acitrezza, Catania, Italy 29th September-3rd October 2008 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 of information, etc. This year we pay special attention to the topic of "knowledge patterns" as good practices or models that are applied or reused throughout the knowledge engineering lifecycle. EKAW 2008 features two tutorials, six regular sessions, a poster session, and an Industry Panel.
