JOWO @ FOIS 2018 Cape Town
Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals

http://www.iaoa.org/jowo2018/

 
* address@hidden Workshop and Tutorials proposals deadline: March 2, 2018 *
* Reminder: FOIS paper submission deadline: April 13, 2018 *

 
The  International  Association  for Ontology  and  its  Applications,
IAOA, invites proposals for workshops  and tutorials for the 4th Joint
Ontology  Workshops, JOWO  2018, to  be held  in conjunction  with the
10th  International  Conference  on Formal  Ontology  and  Information
Systems (FOIS  2018) in Cape  Town, South Africa, on  September 17-21,
2018 (http://fois2018.cs.uct.ac.za/).
Workshops  and tutorials  at  JOWO 2018  are  events whose  scientific
program is  independently established  by the workshop  organizer. The
workshop organizers  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  that may
complement  the main  conference  or focus  on specialized  sub-topics
related  to  formal  ontology   and  its  application  in  information
systems.  We specifically  invite proposals  by IAOA  Special Interest
Groups and Technical Committees.

Previous  JOWO editions  were  held  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, together  with  the
contributions to the Early Career Symposium.
JOWO 2015: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1517/
JOWO 2016: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1660/
JOWO 2017: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2050/

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;
- brief  statement on the  relation and  relevance of the  workshop to
FOIS;
- intended duration of the workshop (half-day, full-day);
- timeline  for the  workshop (submission dates,  notification dates),
taking into  account the  notification date of  FOIS and  the proposed
Workshop  Submission Deadline.  Workshop proposals  should be  sent to
address@hidden by March 2, 2018.


EVALUATION

Submissions for  workshop proposals  will be  evaluated by  members of
the  FOIS  organizing  and  program  committee,  using  the  following
criteria:
- Scientific relevance and utility to attendees;
- Quality of the proposal;
- Likelihood of success of the workshop;
- Complementarity with FOIS and overlap with other workshops.
