-- 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.
