[EKAW 2010]: Call for posters and demonstrations

International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge  
Management - EKAW

Lisbon, Portugal

Call for Posters and Demos

The poster and demonstration session of EKAW 2010 is an opportunity  
for researchers and practitioners to present their innovative  
prototypes, ongoing projects, lessons learned and late-breaking  
results, to discuss with other conference participants and to  
establish new collaborations. We also encourage contributions that are  
likely to stipulate critical or controversial discussions about any of  
the areas of the EKAW conference series (knowledge management,  
knowledge engineering and acquisition, and knowledge in use), and with  
a special focus on knowledge management and engineering by the masses,  
which is this year’s special topic.

For further information about EKAW 2010, please refer to the  
conference homepage: http://ekaw2010.inesc-id.pt

Submission
-----------
Authors must submit a 2-page paper in PDF format (ACM style -http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates 
  -, double column), which describes the planned contents of the  
poster or demo to be presented. The paper should clearly indicate the  
type of presentation (i.e. poster, demo or both) and an informative  
abstract motivating its relevance with respect to the topics of  
interest of EKAW 2010. Each paper will be reviewed by members of the  
poster/demonstration program committee, who will judge the  
originality, topicality and clarity of the proposed contents.
