https://project.inria.fr/ekaw2018/
November 12 – 16 Nancy, France
UPDATE: Authors of the best workshop papers will be invited to
submit revised and extended versions to a special issue of Data
Science Journal (https://datasciencehub.net).
Introduction
The International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and
Knowledge Management (EKAW) is concerned with all aspects of
eliciting, acquiring, modelling and managing knowledge, as well
its role in the construction of knowledge-intensive systems and
services for the semantic web, knowledge management, e-business,
natural language processing, intelligent information integration,
etc. This year, EKAW will pay special attention to topics related
to knowledge and artificial intelligence.
Besides the regular conference tracks, EKAW will host a number of
workshops and tutorials on topics related to the theme of the
conference. We hope our workshops to provide an informal setting
where participants have the opportunity to discuss specific
technical topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange
of ideas; and tutorials to enable attendees to fully appreciate
current issues, main schools of thought, and possible application
areas.
Topics of Interest
In order to meet these goals, workshop/tutorial proposals should
address topics that satisfy the following criteria:
falls in the general scope of EKAW 2018;
is a clear focus on a specific technology, problem or
application;
is a sufficiently large community interested in the topic.
Submission Guidelines
Proposals should be submitted via EasyChair
at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ekaw2018wst Submissions
should be a single PDF file of no more than 5 pages, specifying
« Workshop Proposal » or « Tutorial Proposal », and should contain the
following information.
Workshop proposals:

welcome, and will prioritise, workshops with creative structures
and organisations that attract various types of contributions
and ensure rich interactions.
A special issue of Data Science Journal will be compiled with
revised and extended versions of the best workshop papers from
EKAW 2018. For more information on Data Science Journal, see: https://datasciencehub.net/.
Workshop organisers will be requested to nominate papers from
their workshops, whose authors will be invited to submit revised
and extended versions of their papers to this special issue.
Papers submitted to the special issue will go through the regular
Data Science review process.
