(Apologies for multiple postings.

These technologies comprise knowledge capture, the extraction of useful knowledge from vast and diverse sources of information and raw data. Driven by the demands for knowledge-based applications, and the unprecedented availability of information on the Internet, the study of knowledge capture has a renewed importance. Although there has been considerable work in the area of knowledge capture, activities have been distributed across several distinct research communities, principally knowledge engineering, machine learning, and natural-language processing. However, other fields study knowledge capture, too. For example, in planning and process management, mixed-initiative systems acquire knowledge about a user's goals by taking commands or accepting advice regarding a task. In addition, recent research with the Semantic Web includes work that tries to capture the knowledge associated with appropriately annotated web pages. All of these approaches are related in that they acquire information and organize it in knowledge structures that can be used for reasoning. They are complementary in that they use different techniques and approaches to capture different forms of knowledge. K-CAP 2003 will provide a forum in which to bring together disparate research communities whose members are interested in efficiently capturing knowledge from a variety of sources and in creating representations that can be useful for reasoning. We solicit high-quality research papers for publication and presentation at our conference. Our aim is to promote multidisciplinary research that could lead to a new generation of tools and methodologies for knowledge capture. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ** Knowledge acquisition tools ** Advice taking systems ** Authoring tools ** Learning apprentices ** Knowledge engineering and modeling methodologies ** Knowledge extraction systems ** Knowledge management environments ** Mixed-initiative decision-support tools ** Knowledge-based markup techniques ** Acquisition of problem-solving knowledge Submission deadline: May 2nd, 2003 Please email submissions (in PDF format only) to: kcap@cs.utexas.edu and gennari@u.washington.edu <mailto:kcap@cs.utexas.edu,gennari@u.washington.edu> with subject "K-CAP03 submission". (Sending to both addresses will provide insurance against catastrophic email or computer problems.) We are aiming for a quick reviewing turn-around and therefore late submissions will not be considered for review. Submission format: Please see the Word template at http://sern.ucalgary.ca/ksi/K-CAP/K-CAP2003/templates/KCAP-Examp03.doc. This template is based on the official ACM templates for conference proceedings. Latex style sheets are not yet availablewe will post these to the web pages when ready. In concordance with requirements of the ACM digital library, please include categories and subject descriptors that best describe your submission. The hierarchy of descriptors can be found at http://www.acm.org/class/1998/overview.html (For example, some submissions may fall under the category "I.2.4: Knowledge Representation Formalisms and Methods".) You may include optional keywords. Note that reviewer assignments will be based on the contents of the abstract, as well as these descriptors and keywords. Our apologies if you receive duplicate copies of this announcement. Please forward this announcement to friends and collegues who may be interested. ########################################## Organizing committee John Gennari, Universtiy of Washington, Co-chair Bruce Porter, University of Texas at Austin, Co-chair Yolanda Gil, USC/Information Sciences Institute, General chair Rob Kremer, University of Calgary, Registration chair Jeff Bradshaw, University of West Florida, Local arrangements Peter Clark, Boeing Corporation, Treasurer John Domingue, The Open University, Workshop chair Steering committee Ken Forbus, Northwestern University Mark Musen, Stanford University Jude Shavlik, University of Wisconsin at Madison Derek Sleeman, University of Aberdeen Program committee Ken Barker, University of Texas Larry Birnbaum, Northwestern University Jim Blythe, USC/ISI B.
