Deadline Extension - Cognition And OntologieS@JOWO 2024, July 15-19, Enschede, Netherlands

[Apologies for potential crossposting]

We are excited to announce the call for papers for the eighth edition of CAOS
- Cognition And OntologieS.

CAOS 8 will be co-located with the Joint Ontology Workshops - JOWO 2024 at
Enschede, Netherlands (July 15-19).

Website: https://caos.inf.unibz.it/

Deadline (extended): April 27th (AoE), 2024


About the Workshop:

The purpose of the workshop is to bridge the gap between the cognitive
sciences, and research on formal ontologies and, thus, to create a venue
for researchers interested in interdisciplinary aspects of knowledge
representation.

More specifically, CAOS investigates key cognitive phenomena and concepts
(and the involved terminology) that can be found across language,
psychology, and reasoning, and how they can be formally and ontologically
understood and analysed. We aim to explore the connection between cognitive
sciences/experimental psychology and ontologies, as well as, more
generally, symbolic AI, and to provide formal and logical modelling for
capturing such connections. CAOS, thus, seeks answers to ways such
formalisations and ontological analysis can be exploited in Artificial
Intelligence and information systems.

We welcome submissions on topics related to the ontology of hypothesised
building blocks of cognition (such as image schemas, affordances,
categories, concepts, and related notions) and of cognitive capacities
(such as concept invention and combination, language acquisition and
categorisation), as well as system-demonstrations modelling these
capacities in application settings. We also welcome submissions addressing
the cognitive and epistemological adequacy of ontological modelling.

Important Dates:


   - Submission deadline: April 27, 2024
   - Notification of acceptance: May 22, 2024
   - Camera-ready (post-conference proceedings) deadline: July 30, 2024
   - Workshop: July 15-19, 2024

*List of Topics:*

   - CAOS invites paper contributions related (but not restricted) to the
   following areas:
   - Ontologies of cognitive phenomena
   - Logic and Cognition (challenges, possible solutions and validation
   scenarios)
   - Formal representation of cognitive structures / functions / processes
   (e.g. Conceptual Spaces, etc)
   - Knowledge Representation and Common-Sense
   - Formalisation of language, image schemas and/or affordance
   - Embodied language acquisition
   - Concept invention and concept combination
   - Cognitive development from an ontological perspective
   - Metaphors and analogies (formal representation, ontological analysis)
   - Artificial language understanding
   - Natural language applications / system-demonstrations / LLMs and
   cognition
   - Knowledge acquisition and categorisation in AI and Robotics
   - Tool use and affordances
   - Concept-based computational creativity

*Type of Contributions: *

We welcome diverse contributions including research papers, case studies,
and theoretical explorations that align with the workshop's themes. We
accept three types of papers:

*Abstract for presentation only:* 2-3 pages, 10-15 minutes presentation
(not included in the proceedings as papers)
*Short papers: *6-8 pages, 10-15 minutes presentation
*Full research papers:* max. 10-14 pages, 20-25 minutes presentation
(Page number includes references, presentations include Q&A.)

For inclusion in the workshop, at least one of the authors of accepted
papers must register at JOWO 2024 and participate on-site at CAOS.

Location:

CAOS is co-located with JOWO (

city of Enschede, Netherlands.

Join us at CAOS to add a sparkle of cognition to the main event! We look
forward to your valuable contributions to a fruitful and thought-provoking
discussion.
