JOWO 2019 @ Graz, Austria Episode V: The Styrian Autumn Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals * Submission deadline: January 15th, 2019 * The International Association for Ontology and its Applications, IAOA, invites proposals for workshops and tutorials for the 5th Joint Ontology Workshops, JOWO 2019, to be held in Graz, Austria, on September 23-25, 2019. Workshops and tutorials at JOWO 2019 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 related to formal ontology and its application in information science or other areas. We welcome proposals from related areas as much as contributions by IAOA Special Interest Groups and Technical Committees. Previous JOWO editions were held in conjunction with FOIS 2018 in Cape Town (South Africa), as an independent event in 2017 in Bolzano (Italy), in conjunction with FOIS 2016 in Annecy (France), and at IJCAI 2015 in Buenos Aires (Argentina). As in earlier years, all contributions to JOWO workshops will be published in a joint CEUR proceedings volume, as part of the new IAOA series (http://ceur-ws.org/iaoa.html): JOWO 2018: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2205/ JOWO 2017: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2050/ JOWO 2016: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1660/ JOWO 2015: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1517/ Together, the JOWO workshops 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. JOWO is especially suitable for interdisciplinary and innovative formats. Researchers and practitioners interested in the theory, practice, development and/or application of ontologies 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 already 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 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; - names of the workshop/tutorial organizers; - brief description of experience in workshop/tutorial organization; - description of the workshop/tutorial topic; - intended duration of the workshop (between half a day and two full days); - timeline for the workshop (submission dates, notification dates), taking into account the proposed "important dates" below. Workshop proposals should be sent to jowo2019@gmail.com by January 15, 2019. EVALUATION Submissions for workshop proposals will be evaluated by the general JOWO chairs and the JOWO steering committee, using the following criteria: - Scientific relevance and utility to attendees; - Quality of the proposal; - Likelihood of success of the workshop; - Overlap with other workshops. IMPORTANT DATES - January 15, 2019 ? Workshop proposal submission deadline - January 31, 2019 ? Workshop acceptance notification - February 20, 2019 ? 1st call for papers to be distributed by workshop organizers - May 15, 2019 ?
