SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS 34th International Workshop on Description Logics, DL 2021 September 19-22, 2021 - Bratislava, Slovakia http://dl.kr.org/dl2021 The DL workshop is the major annual event of the description logic research community. It is the forum in which those interested in description logics, both from academia and industry, meet to discuss ideas, share information and compare experiences. The 34th edition will be held in Bratislava, Slovakia from September 19th to 22nd, 2021, and will be co-located with a number of events as part of Bratislava Knowledge September (BAKS 2021, see https://dai.fmph.uniba.sk/events/baks2021/). For more information on the DL workshop, see http://dl.kr.org/dl2021. IMPORTANT DATES 16 Jun 2021 Paper registration deadline 23 Jun 2021 Paper submission deadline 12 Jul 2021 Fast-track notification of acceptance (see below) 9 Aug 2021 Notification of acceptance 30 Aug 2021 Camera-ready version due 19-22 Sep 2021 DL workshop WORKSHOP SCOPE We invite contributions on all aspects of description logics, including, but not limited to: * Foundations of description logics: decidability and complexity of reasoning, expressive power, novel inference problems, inconsistency management, reasoning techniques, modularisation, ontology extraction, abductive and inductive reasoning * Extensions of description logics: closed-world and non-monotonic reasoning, epistemic reasoning, temporal and spatial reasoning, procedural knowledge, query answering, reasoning over dynamic information * Integration of description logics with other formalisms: object-oriented representation languages, database query languages, constraint-based programming, logic programming, and rule-based systems * Applications and use areas of description logics: ontology engineering, ontology languages, databases, ontology-based data access, semi-structured data, graph-structured data, linked data, document management, natural language, learning, explanations, planning, Semantic Web, cloud computing, conceptual modeling, web services, business processes, practical experiences, case studies, feasibility studies * Systems and tools of all kinds around description logics: reasoners, ontology editors, ontology alignment, ontology extraction, other support for ontology development, database schema design, query rewriting/answering/optimization, data integration, implementation and optimization techniques, benchmarking, evaluation, modelling INVITED SPEAKERS Claudia d?Amato, University of Bari, Italy Ernesto Jimenez-Ruiz, City University of London, UK Nicole Schweikardt, Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany Luciano Serafini, Fondazione Bruno Kessler Research Institute, Trento, Italy (joint with DAO-XAI) SUBMISSIONS Submissions may be of two types: A Regular papers of up to 11 pages (excluding references). B Abstracts of up to 2 pages (excluding references). Both regular papers and abstracts must be formatted using the Springer LNCS style with the correct fonts and submitted via: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dl2021 Submissions of type A must contain enough substance that it can be cited in other publications and may not have appeared before. A clearly marked appendix with additional proofs and evaluation data may be included. Submissions of type B may optionally include a clearly marked appendix with additional proofs, evaluation data, or extended version of your paper, which was accepted at another conference or which you submitted or plan to submit to another conference. In the latter case the abstract should specify where the paper has been accepted or is under review. The appendix will be read at the discretion of the reviewers and will not be included in the proceedings. The appendix does not need to be in LNCS format. The proceedings will be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication. Due to a change of policy at CEUR-WS.org papers of type B are no longer indexed by dblp.org and the case of an abstract of a pre-published paper may require a permission by the copyright holder. Accepted submissions of both types will be selected for either oral or poster presentation at the workshop. Submissions will be judged solely based on their content, and the type of submission will have no bearing on the decision between oral and poster presentation. Authors who require a visa to travel to Slovakia and for this reason would like to receive notification earlier than 12 July may request fast-track reviewing. To do so, authors should send an e-mail to dl2021@easychair.org, including the submission number of the paper and a statement explaining the circumstances that require fast-track review. COVID STATEMENT The organizing committee is closely monitoring the epidemic situation both globally and locally in Slovakia. We do hope that with the increasing rate of vaccination it is still likely that we will be able to hold DL 2021 as an in-person meeting. We are committed to ensure inclusivity of the event, and we will therefore consider individually the needs of any authors who for health reasons or travel restrictions will not be able to come in person, and we will allow virtual participation for these authors. If the further development will require this, we are also prepared to switch DL2021 to a fully virtual event.
