Episode 6: The Bolzano Summer of Knowledge /
Workshop Days of EKAW - ICBO - FOIS

CALL FOR WORKSHOP AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
* Submission deadline: February 15, 2020 *
* Notification: March 1, 2020 *
The Joint Workshop Committees of BOSK 2020 invite proposals for
workshops and tutorials for EKAW, ICBO and FOIS as part of the
Bolzano Summer of Knowledge, held during the week of September
14-20, 2020.
Workshops and tutorials at JOWO 2020 are events whose scientific
program is independently established by the workshop organizers.
They 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 broadly related
to ontologies, formal ontology, and knowledge management and their
application in information science or other areas. Together, the
JOWO workshops can 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.
Previous JOWO editions were held as independent events in 2019 in
Graz (Austria), in 2017 in Bolzano (Italy), and in conjunction
with FOIS 2018 in Cape Town (South Africa), 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 open access in a joint CEUR proceedings volume, as part
of the new IAOA series (
http://ceur-ws.org/iaoa.html).
We welcome proposals from researchers and practitioners interested
in the theory, practice, development and/or application of
ontologies and related areas 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 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;
- select one primary conference affiliation: EKAW, FOIS, or ICBO
(for reviewing and scheduling purposes; a brief description of
each conference can be found below);
- names of the workshop/tutorial organizers;
- brief description of experience in workshop/tutorial
organization;
- description of the workshop/tutorial topic;
- brief description of the expected audience (please give an
estimate of the expected number of participants and their
background and interests, if applicable please relate this to
participation in similar prior events);
- intended duration of the workshop (between half a day and a full
day);
- timeline for the workshop (submission dates, notification
dates), taking into account the proposed "important dates" below.
Workshop proposals should be sent to
jowo.steering@gmail.com by
February 15, 2020.
EVALUATION
Submissions of workshop proposals will be evaluated by the
workshop chairs of JOWO 2020 using the following criteria:
- Scientific relevance and utility to attendees;
- Quality of the proposal;
- Likelihood of success of the workshop;
- Overlap and complementarity with other workshops.
IMPORTANT DATES
- February 15, 2020 – Workshop proposal submission deadline
- March 1, 2020 – Workshop acceptance notification
- March 16, 2020 – 1st call for papers to be distributed by
workshop organizers
- September 14-20, 2020 – Workshops in Bolzano in conjunction with
EKAW, FOIS and ICBO

DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF EKAW, ICBO, AND FOIS
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. The focus of EKAW 2020 will be “Ethical and Trustworthy
Knowledge Engineering”. EKAW workshops should provide an informal
setting where participants have the opportunity to discuss
specific technical topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active
exchange of ideas. EKAW tutorials should enable attendees to
appreciate, evaluate, or utilize relevant trends, methods, tools,
models, etc.
The International Conference on Biomedical Ontologies (ICBO) is a
premier annual conference series that brings together researchers,
students and professionals involved in the development and
application of ontologies in all areas of biology, medicine,
diseases, human health, genome biology, environment, biomes,
nutrition, food, plants, agriculture and others. ICBO workshops
provide the opportunity to discuss and progress a variety of
issues at the forefront of biomedical ontologies and to build
communities around specific topic areas. ICBO tutorials should
provide a rich forum for education, training and dissemination to
advance the next generation of biomedical ontologists and share
knowledge about infrastructure, standards and platforms for
advanced tooling.
The International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information
System (FOIS) is a biennial conference, which is dedicated to
interdisciplinary research at the intersection of philosophical
ontology, linguistics, logic, cognitive science, and computer
science, as well as in the applications of ontological analysis to
specific domains. FOIS is the flagship conference of the
International Association for Ontology and its Applications
(IAOA). Given its scope and since FOIS is a single track
conference, presentations at FOIS typically cover a broad range of
subjects. FOIS workshops complement the main conference by
providing a venue for presentations and discussions on a
particular subject area. FOIS tutorials should provide an
introduction to methods, theories, standards, infrastructure or
tools that are of interest to FOIS participants.
