-- Submission Requirements for Tutorial Proposals --
KR tutorials are half-day or (exceptionally) full-day events that
introduce general or special topics in KR and relevant neighboring
areas. They can be first introductions to an established area or an
emerging field, but also advanced courses on specialized methods or new
approaches. The content should be adequately established and balanced,
and not be limited to advertising an individual research work or
product. A focus on specific tools and methodologies can still be
useful to offer concrete examples and hands-on activities to
participants.
Each tutorial proposal (of max. 4 pages) should contain the following
information:
- Title, presenters and proposed length of the tutorial (half-day is
recommended, but an argument can be made for a full-day tutorial)
- A half-page introduction to the tutorial's subject and relevance to KR
- A half-page on the target audience, prerequisite knowledge, and
learning goals
- One-page outline of the tutorial contents and intended structure
- A brief resume of each presenter, including name, affiliation, email
address, and evidence of scholarship in the area, mentioning relevant
publications or professional experience.
The main duties of tutorial organizers are:
- Set up a web-page for the tutorial, which should at least include the
information from the proposal, tutorial material and related
references.
- Deliver the tutorial at KR 2025. Tutorials will be in person, at least
one tutorial organizer is expected to be present.
-- Submission Requirements for Workshop Proposals --
Workshops provide a place to exchange ideas in emerging fields in KR
research and application. They can take many forms, including
mini-conferences (with peer-reviewed publications), competitions and
shared tasks, working sessions (discussions, hackathons, etc.),
line-ups of invited contributions, or a mix of these. Innovative
formats are welcome, but organizers must provide means of estimating
attendance and required length up-front (by number of submissions,
invited speakers, or early registered participants).
Workshop proposals can use up to 4 pages, which should include the
following information:
- Title, acronym of the workshop, proposed duration (half day, one day
two days)
- Workshop description: goals, format, and expected activities during
the workshop
- Audience: target audience, research groups in the area, planned or
confirmed invited speakers, expected number of submissions and
participants
- Related events: history of the workshop (if applicable), relationship
to recent similar events
- Tentative list of PC members with their respective affiliations
- A brief resume of each organizer including name, affiliation, contact
details, and evidence of scholarship in the area, mentioning relevant
publications or professional experience.
- Appendix: tentative call for contributions
The main duties of the chair(s) of each accepted workshop are:
- Set up a webpage for the workshop
- Advertise the workshop, distribute its call for papers and call for
participation
- Coordinate the peer-reviewing of submitted contributions
- If workshop proceedings are desired, it is the duty of the organizers
to produce and distribute their workshop proceedings
- Organize a schedule for the workshop in collaboration with the local
organizers and the KR workshop co-chairs
- Coordinate and moderate the workshop participation and content
- Deliver the workshop at KR 2025. Workshops will be in person, at least
one workshop organizer is expected to be present.
KR and FLoC reserve the right to cancel a workshop if it does not have
enough participants to cover its running costs.
