Scope
=========================
=========================
====

The integration of process mining and AI techniques is crucial for transfor
ming event data into valuable insights for improving process execution. How
ever, current approaches face challenges such as lack of documentation, tra
ceability issues, and the use of opaque black-box components. The first Int
ernational Workshop on Explainable Knowledge Aware Process Intelligence aim
s at motivating researchers from diverse fields to offer significant insigh
ts and contributions aimed at addressing the aforementioned challenges in t
he realm of knowledge-aware process intelligence.

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

Target Audience
=========================
=========================
====

Researchers, academics, and industry professionals with an interest in proc
ess mining, artificial intelligence, knowledge representation, and business
 process management.

Overview
=========================
=========================
====

The first International Workshop on Explainable Knowledge Aware Process Int
elligence aims at contributing to the advancement of explainable, knowledge
-aware process intelligence and expanding the vibrant community dedicated t
o addressing challenges in the process mining landscape.  

Due to the ongoing digitalization undergone by organizations in recent year
s, there has been a notable surge in interest in Process Intelligence resea
rch. Specifically, the automated extraction of knowledge from the ever-grow
ing volume of event data holds the potential to yield valuable insights for
 enhancing process execution. Process mining, coupled with AI techniques, p
lays a pivotal role in this domain, leading the charge in transforming even
t data into valuable knowledge for companies. Despite the effectiveness of 
existing techniques, two primary issues persist: the lack of documentation 
and traceability stemming from ad-hoc procedures, and the use of opaque bla
ck-box components. Moreover, there is the need to explore the integration o
f domain knowledge to steer the knowledge extraction process towards more m
eaningful outcomes. Thus, in this research area many intriguing problems, t
hat could result in comprehensive sets of techniques for achieving explaina
ble, knowledge-aware process intelligence, are left open. 

The goal of the workshop is to motivate researchers from diverse fields to 
offer significant insights and contributions aimed at addressing the aforem
entioned challenges in the realm of knowledge-aware process intelligence.

Venue
=========================
=========================

EKAPI will be held in Roccella Ionica (RC), Italy. Roccella features an uns
poiled stretch of the Ionian Sea, recognized with numerous blue flags for i
ts pristine waters. Tracing its roots back to Greek colonization, the town,
 once named Aracella, unveils its history through picturesque alleys and co
astal districts like Zirgone and Sant'Antonio. Offering year-round appeal, 
Roccella Ionica truly comes to life in summer with its enchanting beach, so
phisticated marina, and the esteemed Roccella Jazz Festival - Mediterranean
  Rumors, boasting thirty-nine editions and international acclaim. The conf
erence location is the Club Hotel Kennedy in Roccella Ionica (https://www.c
lubhotelkennedy.com), Reggio Calabria, situated on the marvelous Jasmine Co
ast.
