[DL] [CfP] Deadline Extension - Cognition And OntologieS at JOWO 2025, September 8-12, Catania, Italy

[CAOS - Cognition and Ontologies Workshop]

[Apologies for potential crossposting]

We are pleased to announce a call for papers extension for the ninth
edition of CAOS - Cognition And OntologieS.

CAOS 9 will be co-located with the Joint Ontology Workshops - JOWO 2025 in
Catania, Italy (September 8-12).

Website: https://caos.inf.unibz.it/

EXTENDED DEADLINE:
short and full papers: June 16th (AoE), 2025
abstracts for presentation only: June 21st (AoE), 2025

About the Workshop: The purpose of the workshop is to bridge the gap
between the cognitive sciences, and research on formal ontologies and,
thus, to create a venue for researchers interested in interdisciplinary
aspects of knowledge representation.

More specifically, CAOS investigates fundamental cognitive phenomena and
concepts across language, psychology, and reasoning, examining how these
can be formally and ontologically analyzed in the context of both
traditional symbolic AI and contemporary neural approaches. The workshop
emphasizes the exploration of connections between cognitive
sciences/experimental psychology and ontologies, while also incorporating
insights from recent advances in large language models and embodied
cognition. This investigation aims to develop robust formal and logical
modeling approaches that can capture these relationships effectively. The
workshop particularly focuses on how such formalizations and ontological
analyses can enhance current AI systems and information architectures,
bridging the gap between broad but shallow artificial intelligence and
human-like cognitive capabilities.

We welcome submissions addressing the ontological foundations of cognitive
building blocks and cognitive capacities, including concept invention,
combination, language acquisition, and categorization. Submissions
examining the cognitive and epistemological adequacy of ontological
modeling in the context of current AI developments are also welcomed.

Important Dates:

Submission deadline:
short and full papers: June 16th, 2025 (EXTENDED)

   -

   Ontologies of cognitive phenomena and their relationship to large
   language models
   -

   Logic and Cognition in the context of hybrid AI systems
   -

   Formal representation of cognitive structures/functions/processes (e.g.,
   Conceptual Spaces, Neural-Symbolic Integration)
   -

   Metaphors and analogies: formal representation and implementation
   -

   Integration of ontologies with large language models for enhanced
   cognition

papers, case studies, and theoretical explorations that align with the
workshop's themes. We accept three types of papers:

   -

   Abstract for presentation only: 2-3 pages, 10-15 minutes presentation
   (not included in the proceedings as papers)
   -

   Short papers: 6-8 pages, 10-15 minutes presentation
   -

   Full research papers: max. 10-14 pages, 20-25 minutes presentation (Page
   number includes references, presentations include Q&A.)

select the track WS: Cognition and Ontologies.

For inclusion in the workshop, at least one of the authors of accepted
papers must register at JOWO 2025 and participate on-site at CAOS.

Location: CAOS is co-located with JOWO (
https://www.dmi.unict.it/fois2025/?page_id=422) held in the beautiful city
of Catania, Italy.

Join us at CAOS to add a sparkle of cognition to the main event! We look
forward to your valuable contributions to a fruitful and thought-provoking
discussion.
