JOWO 2017 -  Call for Workshop Proposals  <http://iaoa.org/jowo/>
http://iaoa.org/jowo/

 

*** Submission deadline: April 24, 2017 ***

 

The International Association for Ontology and its Applications, IAOA,
invites proposals for workshops to participate in the 3rd Joint Ontology
Workshops, JOWO 2017, to be held in Bozen-Bolzano, Italy, on September
21-23, 2017.

 

This year's JOWO so far includes ODLS (Ontologies and Data in Life
Sciences), FOMI (Formal Ontology Meets Industry), SHAPES 4.0 (The Shape of
Things), and the 3rd Image Schema Day.

In addition to workshops, JOWO will be hosting meetings of IAOA Special
Interest Groups and Technical Committees.

 

Previous JOWO editions were held at FOIS 2016, Annecy, France, and at IJCAI
2015, Buenos Aires, Argentina. As in earlier years, all contributions to
JOWO workshops will be published in a joint CEUR proceedings volume, compare
<http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1517/> http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1517/  for 2015,
<http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1660/> http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1660/  for 2016.

 

 

Together, the JOWO workshops address a wide spectrum of topics related to
ontology research, ranging from Cognitive Science to Knowledge
Representation and Artificial Intelligence, Logic, Philosophy, and
Linguistics. JOWO is especially suitable for interdisciplinary and
innovative formats.

 

Researchers and practitioners interested in the theory, practice,
development and/or application of ontologies 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 already 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.

 

Important Dates

 

- April 24, 2017 - Proposal submission deadline

- May 2, 2017 - Acceptance notification

- May 10, 2017 - JOWO workshops and events announced

- Sept 21-23, 2017 - JOWO

 

For those who wish to coordinate their dates with the other workshops, we
suggest the following dates:

 

- May 15, 2017 - Post the first call for participation

- July 17, 2017 - Submission of contributions to workshops (in the form of
abstract, short or long papers depending on the organisers' decision; this
will be handled via a joint multi-track Easychair installation)

- Sept 15, 2017 - Deadline for final camera ready copy to workshop organizer
JOWO Workshops Requirements for Proposal Submission

 

The workshop proposals should be submitted electronically as a single PDF by
email to the JOWO Steering Committee ( <mailto:jowo.steering at gmail.com>
jowo.steering at gmail.com).

 

Each proposal should contain the following information:

 

- A brief description of the scope and purpose of the workshop in relation
to JOWO.

 

- A preliminary workshop format and a proposed schedule for organising the
workshop, including desired length for the workshop (0.5-day, 1-day, 1.5-day
or 2-day) or a time slot specification (e.g. 4-6pm daily). Please indicate
if you intend to have any activities other than contributed talks (e.g.,
invited talks, panels, or posters).

 

- A list of related workshops held within the last few years, if any, and
their relationship to the proposed workshop.

 

- The names, email addresses, and URLs of the organising committee members,
pointing out the primary contact for the proposed workshop.

 

Selection process

 

The selection of workshops for the final program will be based on the
scientific/technical interest in the topics in relation to the expected JOWO
audience, the quality of the proposal, and the balance and distinctness of
topics across all workshops. Similar or overlapping proposals may be
suggested to be merged with the organisers' consent.

 

For all accepted proposals, JOWO will be responsible for providing publicity
for the workshop series as a whole, for providing logistic support
(including the EasyChair installation) and a meeting place for the workshop.

 

 

Please send all inquiries to the JOWO Steering Committee (
<mailto:jowo.steering at gmail.com> jowo.steering at gmail.com).

 

For the IAOA and JOWO:

 

Stefano Borgo | Oliver Kutz | Frank Loebe | Fabian Neuhaus
