[Apologies for multiple postings.] ****************************************************************** Final 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 Submissions are invited on significant, original, and previously unpublished research on the formal analysis and representation of conceptual knowledge in artificial intelligence (AI).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. **************** Invited Speakers **************** The following speaker will give keynote talks in addition to the technical programme: - Camille Roth (French National Centre for Scientific Research, Centre Marc Bloch) - Henrik Müller (TU Dortmund University) - Nina Gierasimczuk (Technical University of Denmark) ****** 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 (Extended) ************************** - Abstract registration deadline: April 3, 2023 (AoE) - Submission deadline: April 10, 2023 (AoE) - Paper Reviews Sent to Authors: May 21, 2023 (AoE) - Rebuttals Due: May 28, 2023 (AoE) - Notification to authors: June 7, 2023 (AoE) - Camera-ready papers due: June 21, 2023 (AoE) ****************** 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.

16th International Workshop on Constraint Programming and Decision Making CoProD'2023
by Kreinovich, Vladik March 12, 2023

March 12, 2023

Typo corrected, my apologies FYI, papers related to imprecise probabilities are always welcome at this series of workshops ************************************************************ 16th International Workshop on Constraint Programming and Decision Making CoProD'2023 https://www.cs.utep.edu/interval-comp/coprod23.html May 30, 2023, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. CoProD'2023 is the sixteenth edition of CoProD http://coprod.constraintsolving.com/. It will be held on May 30, 2023, right before the Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society NAFIPS'2023, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, May 31 - June 2, 2023, https://nafips2023.com/ Constraint programming techniques are important components of intelligent systems. They constitute a declarative and efficient methodology to represent and solve many practical problems. They have been applied successfully to a number of fields, such as scheduling of air traffic, software engineering, networks security, chemistry, and biology. Despite the proved usefulness of these techniques, they are still under-utilized in real-life applications. One reason is the perceived lack of effective communication between constraint programming experts and domain practitioners about constraints, in general, and their use in decision making, in particular. Objectives of CoProD: * To present advances in constraint solving, optimization, and related topics; * To develop a network of researchers interested in constraint techniques, in particular researchers and practitioners that use numeric and symbolic approaches (or a combination of them) to solve constraint and optimization problems; * To address the gap between the great capacity of these techniques and their limited use. CoProD aims at encouraging presentation and discussion of on-going work. In particular, please note that there is room for presentation of ideas, as opposed to results only. It also aims at facilitating networking opportunities as well as cross-fertilization between the approaches used in the different attending communities. Therefore, besides active researchers in decision making and constraint programming techniques, we expect to have a wide attendance and participation of domain scientists -- whose input is highly valued in this workshop. Proceedings / Publication: Submissions are expected in the form of extended abstracts of at least 2 pages and ideally no more than 5 pages (a few more pages is OK), formatted using the Springer edited book format, style file svmult.cls and an example of using this file (not related to CoProD) are attached to the workshop website. Submissions have to be sent in pdf format AND LaTeX format to mceberio [at] utep [dot] edu and vladik [at] utep [dot] edu. A contact author should be specified in the submission email. The deadline for submissions is April 15, 2023 (Let us know if you need a few more days). Authors of accepted abstracts are expected to participate and present their work at the workshop. Participation / Submission: Participation is encouraged from people doing research in the area of decision making as well as from domain scientists. Submissions of ideas are also encouraged. Important dates: April 10, 2023: paper submission April 20, 2023: notification of acceptance May 1, 2023: camera-ready copy of abstracts due May 30, 2022: workshop Organizers: Martine Ceberio, the University of Texas at El Paso, mceberio(a)utep.edu<mailto:mceberio@utep.edu> Vladik Kreinovich, the University of Texas at El Paso, vladik(a)utep.edu<mailto:vladik@utep.edu> The previous editions of CoProD featured invited talks by highly recognized experts (listed in alphabetic order): * Purushotham Bangalore, CIS department, University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA * Martin Berz, Michigan State University, USA * Stefano Bistarelli, University of Perugia, Italy * Alessandro Dal Palu, University of Parma, Italy * Rina Dechter, Information and Computer Sciences, University of California Irvine, USA * Scott Ferson, Applied Bioinformatics, New York, USA * Juan Carlos Figueroa, Universidad Distrital de Bogota, Colombia * Patty Hough, Sandia National Lab, Livermore, California, USA * Luc Jaulin, Ecole Nationale Superieure des Techniques Avancees (ENSTA) Bretagne, France * Weldon Lodwick, University of Colorado Denver, Denver, Colorado, USA * Kyoko Makino, Michigan State University, USA * Francois Modave, Texas Tech Health Center, El Paso, Texas, USA * Tiago Oliveira, National Institute of Informatics (NII) in Tokyo, Japan. * Enrico Pontelli, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA * James Raynolds, College of Nanoscale and Engineering, SUNY Albany, USA * Sigfried Rump, Hamburg University of Technology and Waseda University, Japan * Ken Satoh, National Institute of Informatics (NII) in Tokyo, Japan * Bart Selman, CS department, Cornell University, USA * Yaroslav D.
