Tutorials and workshops will be held on the days of 6-8 November 2021, prior to the KR main technical program. The attendance of tutorials is complimentary to all KR registered participants. Workshop attendance will be subject to payment of a workshop fee, which is separate from that of the main conference. ** 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 specialised 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 should contain the following information: - Short title, presenters and proposed length (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 the tutorial organizers are: - Setup a web-page for the tutorial, which should at least include the information from the proposal, tutorial materials and related references. - Deliver the tutorial at KR 2021. Virtual presentation will be allowed. Each accepted tutorial will entitle a discount on the KR registration fee for one tutorial presenter. ** 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, 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 and acronym of the workshop, - Workshop description: goals, format, and expected activities during the workshop; proposed duration (half day, one day, ...), - Audience: target audience, research groups in the area, planned or confirmed speakers, expected number of submissions/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 of each accepted workshop are: - Set up a webpage for the workshop, - Advertise the workshop and distribute its call for papers/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, and - Coordinate and moderate the workshop participation and content. We do not require workshop organizers to commit to physically attending the conference and will work with them to find a suitable (hybrid or fully virtual) format for each workshop. Each accepted proposal will be waived two workshop registrations to be used at the discretion of the organisers (e.g., to cover the registration of an invited speaker). KR reserves the right to cancel a workshop if it does not have enough participants to cover its running costs. ** Submission Instructions ** Each proposal (tutorial or workshop) should be in English and must be submitted electronically to the Workshop and Tutorial track of KR 2021 via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kr2021 For all accepted proposals, KR will take care of all local and/or virtual arrangements. ** Important Dates ** Proposal submission deadline: 17 March 2021 Notification: 20 April 2021 Workshop paper submission deadline: 2 July 2021 Workshop paper notification: 6 August 2021 Workshop registration deadline: TBA Tutorial and workshop dates: 6-8 November 2021 ** Remote Participation Due to Covid-19 Pandemic ** We understand that the global public health situation may make it difficult or impossible for some, if not all, participants to travel to Hanoi. For this reason, we commit to allowing tutorial and workshop presenters to present remotely, and we will work with workshop organizers to find a suitable (hybrid or fully virtual) format for each workshop. Inquiries should be sent by email to the KR 2021 Tutorial and Workshop Chairs: Markus Krötzsch and Yongmei Liu kr21-workshops-tutorials(a)easychair.org -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFA: The Future of Legal Education Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2021 10:14:39 +0200 From: Vladislav Fomin <vvfomin(a)gmail.com> To: Isworld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> International Scientific Conference September 24-25, 2021 Kaunas, Lithuania While the unprecedented technological advances in information technologies, robotics, AI, and related fields in recent decades have had a number of positive effects in almost every area of human life, they have also brought significant concerns in how the rapidly growing development and utilization of smart technologies impinge on future law, ethics, and legal education. Some of the significant issues are, for example, machine bias in law, legal responsibility in the context of autonomous transportation, the concept of electronic personhood, Big Data, autonomous weapons, the black box problem, the impact of machine agency, and machine/robot rights. All of these issues must be properly addressed in tomorrow’s legal education. This interdisciplinary conference aims to understand how to educate students in order to equip them with necessary skills and knowledge for the future labor market and to prepare well-trained legal professionals for the future. Tomorrow’s legal education must address the problem of how to regulate the development of smart technologies and robotics in order to increase the welfare of society without violating its fundamental values such as safety, security, and privacy. The conference invites contributions addressing the main challenges at the intersection of legal education, law, ethics, and smart technologies. In order to respond to these issues, scholars from various disciplines such as law, philosophy, social sciences, information technologies, AI, and robotics are invited to submit their abstracts of no longer than 400 words of their presentations (20min & 10min discussion). Important Dates : Submission of abstracts: March 1, 2021 Notification: March 15, 2021 Submission Formatting : 1. Abstract of 400 words. 2.

03 Feb '21

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CAIS special issue on pedagogy and teaching Date: Tue, 2 Feb 2021 21:45:23 +0000 From: Fred Niederman <fred.niederman(a)slu.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> AIS World subscribers: I am extraordinarily pleased to announce that CAIS has begun publishing to our AIS Digital Library papers accepted for our Special Section: COVID-19, Learning, Pedagogy, and Educational Systems. Thank you to the special section co-editors, Craig Van Slyke, Heikki Topi, and Mary Granger. We will be adding papers as soon as they are completely through the editing processes. We have already published the first 5 papers and have more scheduled. Eventually we will have approximately 33 papers on topics ranging from adjusting to distance teaching of particular courses, particular IS content such as programming, working with teams, tactical issues such as creating engagement, and global access issues such as making sure all students have the technology to connect with the teaching content. The special section will conclude with an editorial discussing overall themes, remaining challenges, and acknowledging the hard work that went into preparing this special section in just a bit more than half a year. We believe that almost everyone teaching in the IS field from those who never taught outside the face-to-face setting to those entirely teaching remotely have learned lessons with the dramatic shift necessitated by the Covid 19 pandemic to fully computer mediated education. Our thinking is that we each learned lessons, but not the same ones. By recording and sharing our individual lessons learned (and sometimes things we learned to avoid) it is our hope that we can profit collectively from our own and each other’s new knowledge to accelerate our ability to integrate all manner of communication forms into our emergent stronger, better, and more effective teaching, curricula, and systems. Please note this special section is in addition to our on-going interest in receiving submitted IS educational papers and teaching cases. Best, Fred Niederman, editor in Chief CAIS _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

INFORMS defined analytics as the scientific process of transforming data into insights with the purpose of making better decisions. Being grounded on the area of decision support systems, the area of analytics has got a vast range of applications. One important application concerns educational environments, where the three types of analytics, namely, descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive are being applied. The use of LMS where the activity of the students’ can be easily accessed, potentiated the use of analytics to understand their route during the learning process, thus they can be helped to improve during that process. Also, the use of analytics from the school’s managers, can help them to take better decisions. In this special session we are interested in research papers focusing in two of the three domains, as presented by Cetis Analytics Series: domain of the teacher and learner, and domain of management and support systems *TOPICS* Authors are welcome to submit papers, discuss theory or research issues, demonstrate tools: §Analytics in e-learning Environments §Decision Support Systems in Educational Institutions §Learning Analytics §Educational Data Mining §Data Mining, Text mining, Web Mining §Analytics in e-assessment Applications §Educational Process Mining §Others Considered Relevant to this Area You can find more details and make your submission here: http://www.csedu.org/A2E.aspx <http://www.csedu.org/A2E.aspx>

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Extended deadline for SeBiLAn@WWW2021: Int'l Workshop on Semantics-enabled Biomedical Literature Analytics Date: Tue, 2 Feb 2021 19:24:56 +0100 From: Jelena Jovanovic <jeljov(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Semantics-enabled Biomedical Literature Analytics (SeBiLAn2021) ============================================================================================ http://www.sebilanworkshop.com/ Joint with The Web Conference 2021 (the International World Wide Web (WWW2021) Conference) Ljubljana, Slovenia April 2021 (Online) https://www2021.thewebconf.org ============================================================================================ Important Dates =============== Submission deadline: February 1, 2021 *February 7, 2021* Acceptance notifications: February 20, 2021 Source files and Camera-ready PDFs: March 1, 2021 ============================================================================================ The main objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from Web search, semantic Web, and biomedical communities, to present and discuss the latest methods and results in biomedical information and knowledge representation, integration, and retrieval. Given the fact that searching and retrieving all studies that address a research question is one of the initial and main important tasks in devising a systematic review, we also aim at investigating the application of semantics and Web search in creating biomedical systematic literature review. Researchers in the biomedical community have access to a tremendous amount of information (e.g. MEDLINE, the major database for biomedical research, has more than 26 million references to journal articles), which is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, existing biomedical data resources can lead to information overload,i.e., it is hardly possible for researchers to keep pace with available biomedical information on the Web or in biomedical knowledge bases. On the other hand, the huge amount of biomedical information can act as valuable sources for knowledge discovery and learning algorithms. This workshop will explore both sides of the coin: we are interested in exploring effective solutions for searching over biomedical literature based on the knowledge extracted from biomedical sources. Effective search helps researchers explore the literature more conveniently, and hence helps to reduce the impact of information overload. In addition, knowledge-based search systems need mechanisms for structured, semantic-rich representation and effective use of biomedical knowledge extracted from the available data. With the emergence of unprecedented volumes of biomedical publications as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of which appear in pre-publication research repositories such as medRxiv and bioRxiv, this workshop will solicit work that address timely and pressing research challenges at the intersection of Knowledge Representation and Semantics for the purpose of searching biomedical literature. We are also interested in semantic-based retrieval techniques that enhance biomedical knowledge synthesis and systematic literature review. The topics of interest to the workshop include, but are not limited to: Topics of Interest ================== knowledge representation and semantics for biomedical literature retrieval Knowledge graphs in biomedical search Biomedical knowledge source integration Biomedical knowledge graph construction and embedding Biomedical ontologies in search Semantic features in biomedical literature classification and ranking Learning to rank biomedical literature Semantics and Search for biomedical knowledge synthesis and systematic literature review Entity linking and semantic annotation in biomedical texts Datasets, metrics, and evaluation Knowledge discovery / synthesis from literature Biomedical literature retrieval for the systematic review process Search and semantics of the publication process (reviewing,quality assurance, discovering (self ) plagiarism) Knowledge integration from multilingual Biomedical literature Biomedical literature datasets, such as CORD-19 and evaluation methods Search and semantic tools for knowledge synthesis, and systematic reviews ============================================================================================ Submission Instructions ======================= All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. All workshop papers should be no more than 8 pages in length. Papers must be submitted in PDF according to the ACM format published in the ACM guidelines, selecting the generic “sigconf” sample. The PDF files must have all non-standard fonts embedded. Workshop papers must be self-contained and in English. Papers must be submitted at https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=sebilan2021 ============================================================================================ Workshop Organizers =================== Berry de Bruijn: Senior research officer at the National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa Ontario.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CFP: 18th Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR2021) Date: Wed, 3 Feb 2021 21:52:01 +0700 From: Thanh Dinh <thanh.dinhvan(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: Thanh Dinh <thanh.dinhvan(a)gmail.com> To: Meghyn Bienvenu <meghyn.bienvenu(a)u-bordeaux.fr>, Esra Erdem <esra.erdem(a)sabanciuniv.edu>, Gerhard Lakemeyer <gerhard(a)kbsg.rwth-aachen.de> CALL FOR PAPERS 18th Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR2021) November 6-12, 2021, Hanoi, Vietnam -> see note below about remote participation https://kr2021.kbsg.rwth-aachen.de Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR) is a well-established and lively field of research. In KR a fundamental assumption is that an agent's knowledge is explicitly represented in a declarative form, suitable for processing by dedicated reasoning engines. This assumption, that much of what an agent deals with is knowledge-based, is common in many modern intelligent systems. Consequently, KR has contributed to the theory and practice of various areas in AI, including automated planning and natural language understanding, and to fields beyond AI, including databases, verification, software engineering, and robotics. In recent years, KR has contributed also to new and emerging fields, including the semantic web, computational biology, cyber security, and the development of software agents. The KR conference series is the leading forum for timely in-depth presentation of progress in the theory and principles underlying the representation and computational management of knowledge. ** SCOPE ** We solicit papers presenting novel results on the principles of KR that clearly contribute to the formal foundations of relevant problems or show the applicability of results to implemented or implementable systems. We also welcome papers from other areas that show clear use of, or contributions to, the principles or practice of KR. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Applications of KR - Argumentation - Belief revision and update, belief merging, information fusion - Commonsense reasoning - Computational aspects of knowledge representation - Concept formation, similarity-based reasoning - Contextual reasoning - Decision making - Description logics - Explanation finding, diagnosis, causal reasoning, abduction - Geometric, spatial, and temporal reasoning - Inconsistency- and exception-tolerant reasoning, paraconsistent logics - KR and autonomous agents and multi-agent systems - KR and cognitive robotics - KR and cyber security - KR and education - KR and game theory - KR and machine learning, inductive logic programming, knowledge acquisition - KR and natural language processing and understanding - KR and the Web, Semantic Web - Knowledge graphs and open linked data - Knowledge representation languages - Logic programming, answer set programming - Modeling and reasoning about preferences - Multi- and order-sorted representations and reasoning - Nonmonotonic logics, default logics, conditional logics - Ontology formalisms and models - Ontology-based data access, integration, and exchange - Philosophical foundations of KR - Qualitative reasoning, reasoning about physical systems - Reasoning about actions and change, action languages - Reasoning about constraints, constraint programming - Reasoning about knowledge, beliefs, and other mental attitudes - Uncertainty, vagueness, many-valued and fuzzy logics The KR2021 program will also feature workshops and tutorials, solicited by means of an open call, as well as a doctoral consortium. ** TRACKS AND SPECIAL SESSIONS ** In addition to the main conference track, KR2021 will host the following tracks and sessions: * Applications and Systems Track * Recently Published Research Track * Special Session on KR and Machine Learning * Special Session on KR and Robotics ** IMPORTANT DATES ** Submission of title and abstract: March 24, 2021 Paper submission deadline: March 31, 2021 Author response period: May 24-26, 2021 Notification: June 15, 2021 Camera-ready papers: July 14, 2021 Conference dates: November 6-12, 2021 The Recently Published Research track, workshops, tutorials, and the doctoral consortium have different submission and notification dates, which are listed on the conference website. **AUTHOR GUIDELINES AND SUBMISSION INFORMATION** All submissions must be written in English and formatted using the style files provided on the KR'21 website. Papers must be submitted in PDF format, through the EasyChair conference system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kr2021 For the main conference track and additional tracks/sessions (except for the Recently Published Research track), we invite - Full papers of up to 9 pages, including abstract, figures, and appendices (if any), but excluding references and acknowledgements. - Short papers of up to 4 pages, excluding references and acknowledgements. Both full and short papers must describe original, previously unpublished research, and must not simultaneously be submitted for publication elsewhere. These restrictions do not apply to previously accepted workshop papers with a limited audience and/or without archival proceedings, and to papers uploaded at public repositories (e.g., arXiv). Accepted full papers and short papers will be published in the KR2021 proceedings. Authors may optionally submit a separate PDF containing additional information that substantiates the claims made in their paper, such as proof details, additional experimental results, further details on experimental design, etc. If authors wish to make such material available to reviewers, they should do so by submitting a file through EasyChair, rather than by including links or references in their paper. Please note that the main paper must be self contained, as the supplementary material will not be published. Moreover, reviewers will have the option but not the obligation to consult the supplementary material. The preceding submission guidelines apply to the main track, as well as to the Applications and Systems track, the KR & Machine Learning special session, and the KR & Robotics special session. By contrast, different submission guidelines apply to the Recently Published Research track, workshops, tutorials, and the doctoral consortium, please consult the KR21 website for further information. ** REMOTE PARTICIPATION DUE TO COVID-19 PANDEMIC ** We understand that the global public health situation may make it difficult or impossible for some, if not all, participants to travel to Hanoi. For this reason, we commit to allowing authors of accepted papers to present virtually and will work hard to enable the best possible experience for all conference participants. ** CONFERENCE CHAIRS ** General: Esra Erdem (Sabanci University, Turkey) Program: Meghyn Bienvenu (CNRS & University of Bordeaux, France) Gerhard Lakemeyer (RWTH Aachen University, Germany) Applications and Systems Track: Martin Gebser (University of Klagenfurt, Austria) Ulrike Sattler (University of Manchester, UK) Recently Published Research Track: Vladimir Lifschitz (University of Texas at Austin, USA) Pierre Marquis (Artois University & Institut Universitaire de France, France) Special Session on KR & Machine Learning: Vaishak Belle (University of Edinburgh, UK) Luc de Raedt (KU Leuven, Belgium) Special Session on KR & Robotics: Alessandro Saffioti (University of Örebro, Sweden) Mary-Anne Williams (University of Technology Sydney, Australia) Workshop and Tutorials: Markus Kroetzsch (TU Dresden, Germany) Yongmei Liu (Sun Yat-sen University, China) Doctoral Consortium: Jens Classen (Simon Fraser University) Magdalena Ortiz (TU Vienna, Austria) Local Organization: Giuseppe De Giacomo (Sapienza University, Italy) Son Tran (New Mexico State University, USA) Long Tran-Thanh (University of Warwick, UK) Thanh Van Dinh (East Asia University of Technology, Vietnam) Virtual Conference Arrangements: Stefan Borgwardt (TU Dresden, Germany) Marco Console (Sapienza University Italy) Long Tran-Thanh (University of Warwick, UK) Sponsorship: Kuldeep S.
