About ICCS
**********
The International Conferences on Conceptual Structures (ICCS)
focus on the formal analysis and representation of conceptual
knowledge at the crossroads of artificial intelligence, human
cognition, computational linguistics, and related areas of
computer science and cognitive science. The ICCS conferences
evolved from seven annual workshops on conceptual graphs, starting
with an informal gathering hosted by John F. Sowa in 1986.
Recently, graph-based knowledge representation and reasoning (KRR)
paradigms have been getting more and more attention. With the rise
of quasi-autonomous AI, graph-based representations provide a
vehicle for making machine cognition explicit to human users. ICCS
2023 will take place in Berlin, Germany, in September 2023.
Scholars, students and industry participants from different
disciplines will meet for several weeks of conferences, workshops,
summer schools, and public events to engage with the broad topics,
issues and challenges related to knowledge in the 21st century.
Submissions are invited on significant, original, and previously
unpublished research on the formal analysis and representation of
conceptual knowledge in artificial intelligence (AI). All papers
will receive mindful and rigorous reviews that will provide
authors with useful critical feedback. The aim of the ICCS 2023
conference is to build upon its long-standing expertise in
graph-based KRR and focus on providing modelling, formal and
application results of graph-based systems. In particular, the
conference welcomes contributions that address graph-based
representation and reasoning paradigms (e.g. Bayesian Networks
(BNs), Semantic Networks (SNs), RDF(S), Conceptual Graphs (CGs),
Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), CP-Nets, GAI-Nets, Graph Databases,
Diagrams, Knowledge Graphs, Semantic Web, etc.) from a modelling,
theoretical and application viewpoint.

Submission Details
******************
We invite scientific papers of up to fourteen pages, short
contributions of up to eight pages, and extended poster abstracts
of up to three pages. Papers and poster abstracts must be
formatted according to Springer’s LNCS style guidelines and not
exceed the page limit. Papers will be subject to double-blind peer
review, in which the reviewers do not know the author's identity.
We recommend using services like
https://anonymous.4open.science/
to anonymously share code or data. Anonymized works that are
available as preprints (e.g., on arXiv or SSRN) may be submitted
without citing them. Submission should be made via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iccs2023. All paper
submissions will be refereed, and authors will have the
opportunity to respond to reviewers’ comments during the rebuttal
phase. Accepted papers will be included in the conference
proceedings, published by Springer in the LNCS/LNAI series. Poster
submissions will also be refereed and selected poster abstracts
might be included in the conference proceedings. At least one
author of each accepted paper or poster must register for the
conference and present the paper or poster there. Proceedings will
be indexed by DBLP.
