------------------
The Applications and Systems Track at KR2020 invites submissions
of regular and short papers on emerging and deployed
applications of knowledge representation and reasoning (KR) and
KR tools and systems including
-- Papers describing all aspects of the development, deployment,
and evaluation of KR systems to solve real-world problems,
including interesting case studies and benchmarks, and lessons
learned.
-- Papers describing all aspects of KR related tools and
systems, indicating clearly their capabilities and limitations,
uses cases and challenges
-- Papers on the application of KR in life sciences, genetics,
medicine, pharmacology, economics, computer vision, image and
video understanding, natural language understanding, robotics,
human robot collaboration, digital forensics, cybersecurity,
blockchain, education, bioinformatics, computational biology,
intelligent transportation, logistics, internet of things,
creative computing, software engineering, intelligent user
interfaces, etc.
-- Papers on applications that combine KR with other techniques
such as machine learning, data analytics, game theory, social
choice, etc.
-- Papers on creation of datasets, benchmarks and annotated
corpuses, and knowledge repositories that drive applications.
The goal of this track is not only to encourage applications of
KR and development of KR systems but also to increase the
visibility of research done on applications and systems of KR in
the evolving panorama of AI which is gaining more and more
popularity.
---------------------------------------------
Submission Guidelines and Evaluation Criteria
---------------------------------------------
The Applications and Systems Track will allow contributions of
both regular papers (9 pages) and short papers (4 pages),
excluding references, prepared and submitted according to
Authors Guidelines for KR2020.
Submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed by PC members, who
are active in applications of KR and/or development of KR
systems.
In addition to the usual evaluation criteria about clarity of
the presentation and quality of the writing, for applications
papers, the criteria will include:
-- Significance of the real-world problem being addressed.
-- Importance and novelty of using KR technologies to solve this
problem.
-- Evaluation and applicability of the system in the real world.
-- Clear evidence of the potential benefits of applying and
improving KR tools and techniques.
-- Reusability of datasets, case studies, knowledge repositories
and benchmarks.
For tools and systems papers, the criteria will include:
-- Quality and capabilities of the described tool or system,
assessed, e.g., through benchmarking and experimentation.
-- Importance, and impact of the tool or system, assessed
through relevant applications or use-cases in which the tool or
system has been deployed.
For any questions regarding suitability of a submission or of
any other aspect of the track, please email the track co-chairs:
