*Call for Papers

The advent of the age of digital information has brought the problem of
Knowledge Acquisition, 

Reuse and Evaluation. This is today a dynamic research area constantly
subject to adapt to new 

application requirements. Reuse and sharing of knowledge bases are major
issues and no satisfactory 

solutions have been agreed upon yet as knowledge acquisition still remains
the bottleneck for building 

a knowledge based system.

Our ability to analyze, evaluate and assist user in reusing knowledge
present a great challenge of the 

next years. A new generation of computational techniques and tools is
required to support the acquisition, 

the reuse and the evaluation of useful knowledge from the rapidly growing
volume of information.  

This call is aimed at collecting both theoretical and experimental results
concerned with developing methods 

and systems that assist the knowledge management process and assessing the
suitability of such methods.
