Call for Participation

FoIKS 2022: 12th International Symposium on Foundations of Information and Knowledge Systems
University of Helsinki, Finland, 20-23 June 2022

Conference website: https://foiks2022.github.io
Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=foiks2022

Abstract submission deadline: 4 February 2022
Paper submission deadline: 11 February 2022
Notification: 11 April 2022
=========================================================

The FoIKS symposia provide a biennial forum for presenting and discussing 
theoretical and applied research on information and knowledge systems. The 
goal is to bring together researchers with an interest in this subject, 
share research experiences, promote collaboration, and identify new issues 
and directions for future research.

FoIKS 2022 solicits original contributions (as well as extensions of 
previously published contributions) dealing with any foundational aspect 
of information and knowledge systems. This includes submissions that apply 
ideas, theories or methods from specific disciplines to information and 
knowledge systems. Examples of such disciplines are discrete mathematics, 
logic and algebra, model theory, information theory, complexity theory, 
algorithmics and computation, statistics, and optimisation, among, of 
course, many others.

The FoIKS symposia are a forum for intensive discussions. Speakers will be 
given sufficient time to present their ideas and results within the larger 
context of their research. Furthermore, participants will be asked to 
prepare a first response to another contribution in order to initiate 
discussion.

*** Suggested topics

The suggested topics include, but are not limited to:

* Database design: formal models, dependencies and independencies
* Big data: models for data in the Cloud, programming languages for big data, query processing
* Dynamics of information: models of transactions, concurrency control, updates, consistency preservation, belief revision
* Information fusion: heterogeneity, views, schema dominance, multiple source information merging, reasoning under inconsistency
* Integrity and constraint management: verification, validation, consistent query answering, information cleaning
* Intelligent agents: multi-agent systems, autonomous agents, foundations of software agents, cooperative agents, formal models of interactions, negotiations and dialogue, logical models of emotions
* Knowledge discovery and information retrieval: machine learning, data mining, formal concept analysis and association rules, text mining, information extraction
* Knowledge representation, reasoning and planning: non-monotonic formalisms, probabilistic and non-probabilistic models of uncertainty, graphical models and independence, similarity-based reasoning, preference modelling and handling, computational models of argument, argumentation systems
* Logics in databases and AI: classical and non-classical logics, logic programming, description logics, spatial and temporal logics, probability logic, fuzzy logic
* Mathematical foundations: discrete structures and algorithms, graphs, grammars, automata, abstract machines, finite model theory, information theory, coding theory, complexity theory, randomness
* Security in information and knowledge systems: identity thee, privacy, trust, intrusion detection, access control, inference control, secure Web services, secure Semantic Web, risk management
* Semi-structured data and XML: data modelling, data processing, data compression, data exchange
* Social computing: collective intelligence and self-organising knowledge, collaborative filtering, computational social choice, Boolean games, coalition formation, reputation systems
* The Semantic Web and knowledge management: languages, ontologies, agents, adaption, intelligent algorithms, ontology-based data access
* The WWW: models of Web databases, Web dynamics, Web services, Web transactions and negotiations, social networks, Web mining

*** Submission Guidelines

For long papers, the suggested number of pages is 16, and the maximum 
number of pages is 18. For short papers, the maximum number of pages is 
10. All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to 
another journal or conference. Papers must be typeset using the Springer 
LaTeX2e style llncs for Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Submissions 
that deviate substantially from these guidelines may be rejected without 
review. Initial submissions must be in PDF format, but authors should keep 
in mind that the LaTeX2e source must be submitted for the final versions 
of accepted papers. Submissions in alternate formats, such as Microsoft 
Word, cannot be accepted for either initial or final versions. The 
submissions will be judged for scientific quality and for suitability as a 
basis for broader discussion.

Submission is via the EasyChair link
