Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO-15)<br>
<br>
* Deadline extended *<br>
<br>
-- Episode 1: The Argentine Winter --<br>
Buenos Aires, Argentina, July 25-31, 2015<br>
in conjunction with IJCAI 2015<br>

--- Third Call for Papers ---<br>
<br>
==========================================<br>
Submission deadline (extended): May 10, 2015<br>
==========================================<br>
This first edition of the Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO-15) combines<br>
four exciting ontology-centered workshops at IJCAI-15. Together with<br>
ontology work presented at IJCAI itself, we will transform Buenos Aires<br>
for a week into the largest venue for ontology research of the year.<br>
<br>
JOWO-15 is supported by the International Association for Ontology and<br>
its Applications - IAOA. It will feature a series of (shared) invited<br>
talks, paper presentations, and discussions spread across four<br>
independent full-day workshops run over a period of three days:<br>

Workshop on Formal Ontologies for Artificial Intelligence (FOfAI)<br>
==================================<br>
<a href="http://www.loa.istc.cnr.it/fofai" target="_blank">http://www.loa.istc.cnr.it/fofai</a><br>
chairs: Stefano Borgo, Oliver Kutz, and Daniele Porello<br>
<br>
FOfAI aims to establish a venue for researchers in AI with a strong<br>
interest in applied ontology. In particular, we aim to foster an<br>
interdisciplinary discussion and cross-fertilization among a number of<br>
communities by proposing a venue to exchange foundational,<br>
methodological, and applicative perspectives. The workshop thus<br>
encourages submission of articles on both theoretical, computational,<br>
and linguistic issues in the use of ontologies in AI as well as the<br>
concrete use of non-trivial ontologies in AI systems and applications.<br>
FOfAI is generously sponsored by the Association for Logic, Language and<br>
Information - FoLLI.<br>

9th Int. Workshop on Modular Ontologies (WoMO 2015)<br>
==================================<br>
<a href="http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/kenb/womo2015/" target="_blank">http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/kenb/womo2015/</a><br>
chairs: Kenneth Baclawski, Torsten Hahmann, Pavel Klinov, Adila Krisnadhi<br>
<br>
This workshop brings together researchers from all subareas of AI and<br>
from related disciplines and application domains to discuss latest and<br>
current work on theoretical and practical aspects of modularity in<br>
ontologies. Topics include modularity as enabling technology for<br>
knowledge repositories and collaborative knowledge development<br>
environments and as a tool for reducing the complexity of designing and<br>
understanding ontologies, and to facilitating ontology verification,<br>
reasoning, maintenance and integration.<br>
<br>
==================================<br>
1st Workshop on Belief Change and Non-Monotonic Reasoning in Ontologies<br>
and Databases<br>
==================================<br>
<a href="https://ontochange.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">https://ontochange.wordpress.com/</a><br>
chairs: Eduardo FermÈ, Thomas Meyer and Renata Wassermann<br>
<br>
This workshop will bring together researchers working in the areas of<br>
logic-based ontologies, belief change, and database systems, along with<br>
researchers working in relevant areas in non-monotonic reasoning,<br>
commonsense reasoning, and paraconsistent reasoning. Hence the workshop<br>
will facilitate discussions on the application of existing work in<br>
belief change, non-monotonic reasoning, commonsense reasoning, and<br>
related areas on the one hand, to logic-based ontologies and databases<br>
on the other.<br>
<br>
==================================<br>
Ontologies and logic programming for query answering<br>
==================================<br>
<a href="http://ontolp.lsis.org/" target="_blank">http://ontolp.lsis.org/</a><br>
chairs: Odile Papini, Marie-Laure Mugnier, Laurent Garcia, Salem Benferhat<br>
<br>
The aim of this workshop is to bridge knowledge representation and<br>
reasoning in artificial intelligence and web of knowledge communities in<br>
order to encourage the emergence of new solutions for reasoning with<br>
lightweight ontologies. Particular topics include query answering while<br>
taking ontologies into account and<br>
non-monotonic reasoning for inconsistency handling and exception<br>
handling and expressing default negations in ontologies, with a special<br>
interest in logic programming for implementations.<br>
<br>

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES<br>
<br>
Please refer to the individual workshops for detailed lists of topics<br>
appropriate for each workshop. Submissions can be long papers (up to 8<br>
pages) or short papers (up to 4 pages), formatted using the AAAI style<br>
(available from <a href="http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php" target="_blank">http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php</a>),<br>
submitted in PDF format no later than the submission deadline. All<br>
submission are handled through Easychair. Use<br>
<a href="http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jowo15" target="_blank">http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jowo15</a> for submissions to any<br>
of the first three workshops, and select the track that corresponds to<br>
the workshop most appropriate for your work. For the last workshop<br>
''Ontologies and logic programming for query answering'', submissions<br>
are handled separately through<br>
<a href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ontolp2015" target="_blank">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ontolp2015</a> All submissions will<br>
be peer-reviewed by members of the program committee of the individual<br>
workshops. Accepted papers will be made available in the form of a joint<br>
workshop proceedings. For additional publication plans check the<br>
individual workshops.<br>
