-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Chapters: Handbook of Research on Cross-cultural Business and Management (HRCBM-2021) Date: Thu, 4 Mar 2021 17:44:38 +0530 From: Chandan Maheshkar <cmaheshkar(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *CALL FOR CHAPTERS* *Handbook of Research on Cross-cultural Business and Management* *(An International Edited Business Science Reference)* [image: image.png] *https://vernonpress.com/proposal/148/c00a3ca796ccd13e7d7b5a622d65b8ce* <https://vernonpress.com/proposal/148/c00a3ca796ccd13e7d7b5a622d65b8ce> *Proposal Submission Deadline: **April 20, 2021* *Final Chapter Submission: **July 30, 2021* We are pleased to invite chapters for the Handbook of Research on Cross-Cultural Business and Management, an International Edited Business Science Reference. Culture is *a cumulative custom of beliefs, values, rituals, and sanctions* *practiced by a group of people, province or country*. It is a much sensitive dimension of internationalization of any business and making it perform in a culturally diverse environment. At present, culture introduces significant changes in the core assumptions of business practices and skill expectations. This paradigm-shift has forced business executives and managers to know how cultural differences affect inter-organizational as well as intra-organizational functioning. It has made gaining cross-cultural compatibility a serious concern for the business as well as the scholastic society around the world. This proposed book would facilitate the cross-culture business and management practices by developing practitioners and academicians with cross-cultural business and management competencies. The way to improve these skills is to fill the gaps between practical implication and theoretical consideration; focus should be on learning so that they will get more chances to enhance their knowledge, skills and attitudes relevant to achieve business objectives. For more details about contents (suggested topics), publisher and submission, please visit the given web link: https://vernonpress.com/proposal/148/c00a3ca796ccd13e7d7b5a622d65b8ce Please submit your chapter proposals on or before April 20, 2021.

Best papers of the workshop, after further revisions and independent reviews, will be considered for publication in a special issue of Wiley Journal of Software: Evolution and Process (IF 1.178). *** SCOPE *** The design of modern Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) comprises systems of systems that include several heterogeneous components. Manufacturers of such systems have to address several networking, dynamic and uncertain environmental constraints. CPSs are often safety-critical, i.e., any malfunctioning of the system may seriously harm its user. However, the involved communicating peripherals also necessitate the consideration of security issues, so that the proper functioning of a CPS is not affected by cyber-security threats. The engineering of a CPS requires high safety integrity levels and strong assurances for their fitness for public use against safety hazards and cyber-security threats. Considering safety and security requirements in the design of CPS increases their reliability, confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This also ensures the continuous provision and protection of essential services and assets. However, contemporary systems and software engineering methods and approaches are often not adequate for the high-confidence design and manufacturing of CPSs. This is especially true within the era of artificial intelligence. The overall aim of this workshop is to address a broad range of issues related to cyber-security, functional safety and their interplay within the context of CPSs – including but not limited to: - Functional safety, cyber-security and their interplay - Model-driven engineering - Privacy and confidentiality - Specification, verification and validation - System architecture, design, decisions and tradeoffs, e.g., correct-by-design or privacy-by-design - Security, safety and CPSs in the era of artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning - Regulation, homologation, legalization and certification - Case studies, experience reports, benchmarking and best practices - Healthcare, transportation, aerospace, energy, robotics, finance, business, etc. *** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES *** In order to encourage participation and discussion, this workshop solicits two types of submissions - regular papers and short papers: - Regular paper submissions about original work not exceeding 10 pages. - Short paper submissions on recent or ongoing work on relevant topics and ideas not exceeding 5 pages.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] [CFP] 18th Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR2021) Date: Tue, 2 Mar 2021 21:51:36 +0700 From: Thanh Dinh <thanh.dinhvan(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: Thanh Dinh <thanh.dinhvan(a)gmail.com> To: Esra Erdem <esra.erdem(a)sabanciuniv.edu>, Gerhard Lakemeyer <gerhard(a)kbsg.rwth-aachen.de>, Meghyn Bienvenu <meghyn.bienvenu(a)u-bordeaux.fr> 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.
