separate from that of the main conference.

-- Submission Instructions --

Each proposal (tutorial or workshop) should be in English and must be 
submitted electronically to the Workshop and Tutorial track of KR 2024.
The submission site will open on Thursday 15 February 2024.
For all accepted proposals, KR will take care of all local 
arrangements.

-- Submission Requirements for Tutorial Proposals --

KR tutorials are half-day or (exceptionally) full-day events that 
introduce general or special topics in KR and relevant neighboring 
areas. They can be first introductions to an established area or an
emerging field, but also advanced courses on specialized methods or
new approaches. The content should be adequately established and 
balanced, and not be limited to advertising an individual research 
work or product. A focus on specific tools and methodologies can still
be useful to offer concrete examples and hands-on activities to 
participants.

Each accepted tutorial will entitle a discount on the KR registration
fee for one tutorial presenter.

Each tutorial proposal should contain the following information:

•   Title, presenters and proposed length of the tutorial (half-day is
    recommended, but an argument can be made for a full-day tutorial)
•   A half-page introduction to the tutorial's subject and relevance 
    to KR
•   A half-page on the target audience, prerequisite knowledge, and
    learning goals
•   One page outline of the tutorial contents and intended structure
•   A brief resume of each presenter including name, affiliation, 
    email address, and evidence of scholarship in the area, mentioning
    relevant publications or professional experience.

The main duties of tutorial organizers are:

•   Setup a web-page for the tutorial, which should at least include 
    the information from the proposal, tutorial material and related 
    references.
•   Deliver the tutorial at KR 2024. A future call will provide 
    details on the presentation options.

-- Submission Requirements for Workshop Proposals --

Workshops provide a place to exchange ideas in emerging fields in KR
research and application. They can take many forms, including 
mini-conferences (with peer-reviewed publications), competitions and
shared tasks, working sessions (discussions, hackathons, etc.), 
line-ups of invited contributions, or a mix of these. Innovative 
formats are welcome, but organizers must provide means of estimating
attendance and required length up-front (by number of submissions, 
invited speakers, or early registered participants).

Workshop proposals can use up to 4 pages, which should include the
following information:

•   Title, acronym of the workshop, proposed duration (half day, 
    one day, ...)
•   Workshop description: goals, format, and expected activities 
    during the workshop
•   Audience: target audience, research groups in the area, planned or 
    confirmed invited speakers, expected number of submissions and 
    participants
•   Related events: history of the workshop (if applicable), 
    relationship to recent similar events
•   Tentative list of PC members with their respective affiliations
•   A brief resume of each organizer including name, affiliation, 
    contact details, and evidence of scholarship in the area, 
    mentioning relevant publications or professional experience.
•   Appendix: tentative call for contributions

The main duties of the chair(s) of each accepted workshop are:

•   Set up a webpage for the workshop
•   Advertise the workshop, distribute its call for papers and call
    for participation
•   Coordinate the peer-reviewing of submitted contributions
•   If workshop proceedings are desired, it is the duty of the 
    organizers to produce and distribute their workshop proceedings
•   Organize a schedule for the workshop in collaboration 
    with the local organizers and the KR workshop co-chairs
•   Coordinate and moderate the workshop participation and content

KR reserves the right to cancel a workshop if it does not have enough participants to cover its running costs.
