*TIME 2021 1^st CALL FOR PAPERS*

28th International Symposium on Temporal Representation and Reasoning

Klagenfurt, Austria, 27-29 September 2021, time2021.aau.at 
<https://time2021.aau.at/>

------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Aims and Scope*

  * Since 1994, the TIME International Symposium on Temporal
    Representation and Reasoning aims to bring together researchers in
    the area of temporal representation and reasoning in different areas
    of Computer Science and related disciplines.
  * TIME 2021 will be organized as a combination of technical paper
    presentations, keynote talks, and tutorials.
  * Besides sustaining the traditional three tracks (Time in Artificial
    Intelligence, Temporal Databases, and Temporal Logic and Reasoning)
    TIME 2021 in particular wants to stimulate cross cutting concerns.
  * TIME 2021 is planning a hybrid conference. We aim at organizing an
    in-presence event, but there will be possibilities for virtual
    participation for delegates affected by travel restrictions.

*Tracks*

  * Time in Artificial Intelligence
  * Temporal Databases
  * Temporal Logic and Reasoning

*Special Tracks*

  * /Temporal representation and reasoning for Covid-19/

owe are looking for submissions dealing with temporal issues in any 
context having to manage Covid-19 pandemic (healthcare, medicine, social 
contexts, school, and so on)

  * /Temporal explainability: connecting symbolic and sub-symbolic
    temporalities/
      o we are looking for submissions dealing with some kind of
        temporal logics/system/rules/visualization for
        interpreting/explaining the results of machine learning
        algorithms considering temporally relevant problems.

*Topics*

Topics for TIME 2021 include (but are not limited to):

  * Spatial and temporal reasoning
  * Temporal data models and query languages
  * Time in natural language processing
  * Temporal data mining
  * Temporal constraints: representation and reasoning
  * Time series data management
  * Spatio-temporal knowledge representation systems
  * Data currency and expiration
  * Reasoning about actions and change
  * Planning and planning languages
  * Ontologies of time and space-time
  * Belief and uncertainty in temporal knowledge
  * Temporal learning and discovery
  * Temporal query processing and indexing
  * Stream data management
  * Spatio-temporal data management, including moving objects
  * Indeterminate and imprecise temporal data
  * Specification and verification of temporal properties
  * Model checking algorithms and implementations
  * Temporal aspects of agent- and policy-based systems
  * Temporal aspects of service level agreements
  * Temporal aspects of business process modeling and management


*Submission & Publication*

TIME 2021 accepts submissions in PDF format, no longer than 12 pages 
excluding references and appendix. The appendix is limited to 5 pages, 
and the reviewers may or may not take it into account for their 
recommendation. Submissions must be formatted following the LIPIcs 
instructions (https://submission.dagstuhl.de/documentation/authors 
<https://submission.dagstuhl.de/documentation/authors>), and preferably 
redacted in LaTex. All submissions have to be made electronically via 
easychair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=time20211 
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=time20211>(details at 
time2021.aau.at <https://time2021.aau.at/>).

*Paper abstracts*must be submitted one week before the final paper 
submission deadline.

TIME policy is single blind, so the names of the authors need not be 
hidden in the submitted draft. Members of the program committee, 
excluding the PC chairs, are allowed to submit papers. Submitted papers 
will be refereed for quality, correctness, originality, and relevance to 
the conference.

Submissions to TIME 2021 must be original, parallel submissions of the 
same material to other conferences or journals are not allowed. Accepted 
papers will be presented at the symposium and included in the 
proceedings, which will be published by LIPIcs-Leibniz International 
Proceedings in Informatics 
(https://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/ 
<https://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/>), a series of 
high-quality peer-reviewed conference proceedings which are published 
according to the principle of OpenAccess. At least one author of each 
accepted paper must register at the conference and present either 
virtually or (if possible) in person. In-person participation in the 
symposium will not be a prerequisite for publication.

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version 
of their contribution to a special issue of a high-quality journal yet 
to be decided.
