stems  FoIKS 2024

Extended Deadlines

================

(Extended) Abstract submission deadline:  11.12.2023 AoE ("anywhere on eart
h")

(Extended) Paper submission deadline: 14.12.2023 AoE ("anywhere on earth")

* Andrei Popescu, University of Sheffield

* Uli Sattler, University of Manchester


About

=============

The FoIKS symposia provide a biennial forum for presenting and discussing t
heoretical and applied research on information and knowledge systems. The g
oal is to bring together researchers with an interest in this subject, shar
e research experiences, promote collaboration and identify new issues and d
irections for future research.


FoIKS 2024 solicits original contributions (as well as extensions of previo
usly published contributions) dealing with any foundational aspect of infor
mation and knowledge systems. This includes submissions that apply ideas, t
heories or methods from specific disciplines to information and knowledge s
ystems. Examples of such disciplines are discrete mathematics, logic and al
gebra, model theory, information theory, (parameterized) complexity theory,
 algorithmics and computation, statistics, and optimisation, among, of cour
se, 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 prepa
re a first response to another contribution in order to initiate discussion.

(Extended) Abstract submission deadline:  11.12.2023

(Extended) Paper submission deadline: 14.12.2023

Acceptance notifications: 29.01.2024

Camera-ready versions of accepted papers due: 08.02.2024

Early registration deadline: 08.03.2024

Late registration deadline: 01.04.2024

Conference: 811.04.2024

Submission Guidelines

====================

For long papers, the page limit is 16 plus additional pages of references. 
For short papers, the maximum number of pages is 10 plus additional pages o
f references. Missing proofs or details can be optionally added as an addit
ional appendix read at the discretion of the program committee.


All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another jou
rnal or conference. Resubmission of papers rejected in major conferences (e
.g., AAAI, ICDT, STACS) is welcome.


Papers must be typeset using the Springer LaTeX2e style llncs for Lecture N
otes in Computer Science (see https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/
lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines and https://resource-cms.springernat
ure.com/springer-cms/rest/v1/content/19238648/data/v6). Submissions that de
viate 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 accepte
d papers. Submissions in alternate formats, such as Microsoft Word, cannot 
be accepted for either initial or final versions. The submissions will be j
udged for scientific quality and for suitability as a basis for broader dis
cussion.


Submission is via the EasyChair link https://easychair.org/conferences/?con
f=foiks24.


Publication

=============

The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes i
n Computer Science. After the symposium, authors of selected papers will be
 invited to submit extended journal versions of their papers for a FoIKS 20
24 special issue in the journal Knowledge Engineering Review (https://www.c
ambridge.org/core/journals/knowledge-engineering-review). Further details w
ill be provided on the conference website.
