K-CAP 2003

Call for Workshop Proposals

The K-CAP 2003 Program Committee invites proposals for the Workshop
Program for K-CAP 2003, to be held in Sanibel, Florida, USA. Workshops
will be held on October 25 and 26th, 2003, immediately after the end of
the main conference. Note that this year K-CAP'03 is held in conjunction
with the 2nd International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2003). 

K-CAP workshops will provide an informal setting where workshop
participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical
topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange of ideas. Our
aim for the workshop programme is to promote and collect
multidisciplinary research directions and potentially interesting
technologies for efficiently capturing knowledge from a variety of
sources. Members from all research areas related to knowledge capture
are invited to submit workshop proposals. We particularly welcome
workshops at discipline boundaries. 

To encourage interaction and a broad exchange of ideas, each workshop
will be limited to 30 participants and ample time will be allotted for
general discussion.
