FOIS 2021: Formal Ontologay in Information System, Virtual or Bolzano (Italy), Sep 2021
Call for Workshops and Tutorials for the 12th International Conference on
Formal Ontology in Information System (FOIS 2021)
https://fois2021.inf.unibz.it/
Submission deadline: March 26, 2021
Notification: April 9, 2021
The Workshop and Tutorial Chairs for FOIS 2021 invite proposals for
workshops and tutorials to be held either virtually or in a hybrid fashion
in conjunction with FOIS 2021 before or after the main conference which
will take place September 13-16, 2021.
Workshops and tutorials at FOIS 2021 are events whose scientific program
is independently established by the workshop organizers. They will be
responsible for advertising the workshop and reviewing and selecting the
contributions. Workshops can be events that provide a forum for the
discussion of topics broadly related to ontologies, formal ontology, and
knowledge management and their application in information science or other
areas. Together, the workshops can address a wide spectrum of topics
related to ontology research, ranging from Cognitive Science to Knowledge
Representation, Natural Language Processing, Artificial Intelligence,
Logic, Philosophy, and Linguistics. They are especially suitable for
interdisciplinary and innovative formats.
Previous FOIS/JOWO workshops were held in 2020 (virtually), 2019 in Graz
(Austria), 2018 in Cape Town (South Africa), 2017 in Bolzano (Italy), 2016
in Annecy (France), and at IJCAI 2015 in Buenos Aires (Argentina).
As in earlier years, all contributions to accepted workshops will be
published open access in a joint CEUR proceedings volume, as part of the
new IAOA series (http://ceur-ws.org/iaoa.html).
We welcome proposals from researchers and practitioners interested in the
theory, practice, development and/or application of ontologies and related
areas are invited to submit workshop proposals for review.
We encourage several forms and length of workshops (the list is non-exhaustive):
- workshops that focus on an established research area, including continuations of workshops that were held in the past;
- workshops that focus on emerging topics and applications, or on open research questions and challenges;
- workshops that aim to create cross-disciplinary research fostering exchange of ideas between groups otherwise mostly disconnected.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Proposals for workshops and tutorials should be no more than 2 pages in length, and must contain the following information:
- title of the workshop/tutorial;
- indication of how you would like to conduct the workshop: either fully virtually or, if the pandemic situation in September allows, in a hybrid mode. Notice that we will require all workshops and tutorials to allow remote participation for those who cannot travel;
