Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management
The focus of the 17th edition of EKAW will be on Knowledge Management and Engineering by the Masses.
EKAW – 2010
11th October – 15th October 2010
Lisbon, Portugal
New: Extended Deadlines
Background and Motivation
Workshops provide members of a community a forum to discuss common interests in a focused way. If you are working in an emerging area in Knowledge Acquisition, Knowledge Engineering and/or Knowledge Management, consider organizing a workshop. They are a chance to meet mind-alike researchers and discover what others are doing. A workshop offers a good opportunity for young researchers to present their work and to obtain feedback from an interested community. Successful workshops may result in edited books or special issues in international journals.
EKAW 2010 is looking for exciting proposals for half-day or full-day workshops to be held. Each workshop should generate discussions that give the EKAW community a new, organized way of thinking about the topic, or ideas that suggest promising directions for future research. A successful workshop can move the field forward and help in building community.
EKAW workshops provide an informal setting where the participants have the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange of ideas. Our aim for the workshop program is to promote and collect multidisciplinary research directions that contribute to knowledge management and engineering. Members from all research areas related to knowledge are invited to submit workshop proposals.
Workshop @ EKAW 2010
The 17th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management is concerned with all aspects of eliciting, acquiring, modelling and managing knowledge, and 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.
We seek high quality proposals for workshops about topics related to the conference. Of particular interest are proposals that address one of the following areas:
- Knowledge Management
- Knowledge Engineering and Acquisition
- Knowledge In Use
- Social and Cognitive Aspects of Knowledge Engineering
- Special focus knowledge management and engineering by the masses
- Human-machine synergy in knowledge acquisition
- Incentives for knowledge creation and semantic annotation
- Enhancing human productivity (e.g. knowledge workers)
- Social and human factors in knowledge management
- Collective and collaborative intelligence in knowledge management
- Social tagging and folksonomies, social networks
- Web2.0 approaches to KM (including semantic wikis, folksonomies, etc.)
- Games with a Purpose and KM
- Linked Open Data / Web of Data
Submission Requirements
Each workshop should have one or more organizers and an international program committee. Proposals for workshops should be a maximum of 1000 words, and should contain the following information to judge the importance, quality, and benefits for the research community:
A cover page including:
- Workshop title
- Name, affiliation, full postal address, homepage and e-mail address for each organizer
- Identification of the primary contact person(s)
- One-paragraph biography for each workshop organizer
Motivation and Objectives:
This section is about a brief description of the workshop topic and goals, its relevance to EKAW 2010 and significance for the research field.
- Motivation: What is the overall topic of the workshop? Relation to the topic of the conference, including a brief discussion of why and to whom the workshop is of interest.
- A tentative list of PC members, clearly stating those that have already accepted
- The tentative dates (submission, notification, camera-ready deadline, etc.)
Workshop intentions and proposals should be submitted via email in PDF format to the EKAW 2010 workshop chair and selection committee:
ekaw10workshops@lists.deri.org
with a subject line of:" EKAW 2010 Workshop Proposal"
