[CFP] 28th International Conference on Conceptual Structures (ICCS 2023) at the HU Berlin, Second Call

by Kai Sauerwald

[Apologies for multiple postings.] ************************************************************ Second Call for Papers: 28th International Conference on Conceptual Structures (ICCS 2023) September 11th-13rd, 2023, Berlin, Germany Website: https://iccs-conference.org Twitter: @iccs_confs Contact us: contact(a)iccs-conference.org ************************************************************ *************** About ICCS: *************** The International Conferences on Conceptual Structures (ICCS) focus on the formal analysis and representation of conceptual knowledge at the crossroads of artificial intelligence, human cognition, computational linguistics, and related areas of computer science and cognitive science. The ICCS conferences evolved from seven annual workshops on conceptual graphs, starting with an informal gathering hosted by John F. Sowa in 1986. Recently, graph-based knowledge representation and reasoning (KRR) paradigms have been getting more and more attention. With the rise of quasi-autonomous AI, graph-based representations provide a vehicle for making machine cognition explicit to human users. ICCS 2023 will take place in Berlin, Germany, in September 2023. Scholars, students and industry participants from different disciplines will meet for several weeks of conferences, workshops, summer schools, and public events to engage with the broad topics, issues and challenges related to knowledge in the 21st century. Submissions are invited on significant, original, and previously unpublished research on the formal analysis and representation of conceptual knowledge in artificial intelligence (AI). All papers will receive mindful and rigorous reviews that will provide authors with useful critical feedback. The aim of the ICCS 2023 conference is to build upon its long-standing expertise in graph-based KRR and focus on providing modelling, formal and application results of graph-based systems. In particular, the conference welcomes contributions that address graph-based representation and reasoning paradigms (e.g. Bayesian Networks (BNs), Semantic Networks (SNs), RDF(S), Conceptual Graphs (CGs), Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), CP-Nets, GAI-Nets, Graph Databases, Diagrams, Knowledge Graphs, Semantic Web, etc.) from a modelling, theoretical and application viewpoint. ********** Topics: ********** Topics include but are not limited to: Existential and Conceptual Graphs Graph-based models for human reasoning Social network analysis Formal Concept Analysis Conceptual knowledge acquisition Data and Text mining Human and machine reasoning under inconsistency Human and machine knowledge representation and uncertainty Automated decision-making Argumentation Constraint satisfaction Preferences Contextual logic Ontologies Knowledge architecture and management Semantic Web, Web of Data, Web 2.0, Linked (Open) Data Conceptual structures in natural language processing and linguistics Metaphoric, cultural or semiotic considerations Resource allocation and agreement technologies Philosophical, neural, and didactic investigations of conceptual, graphical representations ******************** Important Dates: ******************** - Abstract registration deadline: March 19th, 2023 - Submission deadline: March 26th, 2023 - Paper Reviews Sent to Authors: May 14th, 2023 - Rebuttals Due: May 21th, 2023 - Notification to authors: May 31th, 2023 - Camera-ready papers due: June 14th, 2023 ******************** Submission Details: ******************** We invite scientific papers of up to fourteen pages, short contributions of up to eight pages, and extended poster abstracts of up to three pages. Papers and poster abstracts must be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS style guidelines and not exceed the page limit. Papers will be subject to double-blind peer review, in which the reviewers do not know the author's identity. We recommend using services like https://anonymous.4open.science/ to anonymously share code or data. Anonymized works that are available as preprints (e.g., on arXiv or SSRN) may be submitted without citing them. Submission should be made via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iccs2023. All paper submissions will be refereed, and authors will have the opportunity to respond to reviewers’ comments during the rebuttal phase. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings, published by Springer in the LNCS/LNAI series. Poster submissions will also be refereed, and selected poster abstracts might be included in the conference proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper or poster must register for the conference and present the paper or poster there. Proceedings will be indexed by DBLP. ******************** Submission Details: ******************** *************** Organizers: *************** General Chair: Robert Jäschke, Information Processing and Analytics, Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany Program Chairs: Manuel Ojeda Aciego, Dept.

Proposals should address current and emerging topics related to the formal analysis and representation of conceptual knowledge (cf. also the list of topics in the CfP). Workshops and tutorials provide an opportunity to discuss novel topics in an interactive atmosphere. They can concentrate in-depth on research topics, but can also be devoted to application issues. ******************* Duration and Format ******************* We welcome both full- and half-day workshop/tutorial proposals and encourage a program that is both varied and interesting. We specifically encourage innovative formats for workshops that go beyond traditional paper presentations, for example, including a challenge for participants to solve, or jointly working on a specific problem or document at the venue. Combinations of half-day tutorial and workshop are also possible, thus providing the option to introduce a topic and then to discuss relevant research. ICCS 2023 will be an on-site conference, thus all contributors are required to present their work locally in Berlin. *************** Important Dates *************** - Proposal deadline: May 5, 2023 - Notification of acceptance: May 12, 2023 - Tutorial/Workshop day: September 11, 2023 *************************** Proposal/Submission Details *************************** Proposals for workshops/tutorials should (at least) provide the following information: - A brief description of * the specific issues that will be addressed, * the reasons why the workshop/tutorial is of relevance, * the main research areas involved, * and what the workshop/tutorial will add to the conference (e.g., do you expect papers of a theme that would not fit the main conference?). - Specifically for workshops, * information on the workshop chairs and the expected program committee, * a draft of the Call for Papers, including information on accepted formats (e.g., regular papers, extended abstracts, oral-only presentations of relevant recently published or submitted contributions, etc.) * and the expected format of the workshop (e.g., invited talks, presentations, poster sessions, panel discussions, challenge sessions, or other ideas for ensuring an interactive atmosphere). - Specifically for tutorials, please add some details on the person(s) who gives the tutorial and the expected length. - In the case of a combined tutorial-workshop, please clearly indicate the format. - Any special requirements regarding logistics (e.g., poster stands, audio equipment), if applicable. Please send your applications or questions to Robert Jäschke (contact(a)iccs-conference.org) We are looking forward to your proposals. *****************************************
