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.
