ICCS 2014: 21st International Conference on Conceptual Structures

Scope and Significance
*******************************************************
The International Conferences on Conceptual Structures (ICCS) focus on
the formal analysis and representation of conceptual knowledge with
applications to artificial intelligence, computational linguistics, and
related areas of computer science. The ICCS conferences evolved from a
series of seven annual workshops on conceptual graphs, starting with an
informal gathering hosted by John F. Sowa in 1986. Recently, graph-based
knowledge representation and reasoning (KRR) paradigms are getting more
and more attention. The aim of the ICCS 2014 conference is to build upon
its long standing expertise in graph-based KRR and focus on providing
modelling, formal and application results of graph-based systems.
ICCS 2014 will be held in Iaşi, România at the Al. I. Cuza University
(http://www.uaic.ro/ ), the oldest higher education institution in
România. The university was founded one year after the establishment of
the Romanian state in 1860. Iaşi has a long tradition in higher
education and has traditionally been one of the leading centres of
Romanian social, cultural, academic and artistic life.
The conference welcomes contributions that address graph-based
representation and reasoning paradigms (e.g. Bayesian Networks (BNs),
Semantic Networks (SNs), RDF(S), Conceptual Graphs (CGs), Formal Concept
Analysis (FCA), CP-Nets, GAI-Nets, Argumentation, Graph Databases, etc.)
from a modelling, theoretical and application viewpoint:
. Modelling results will investigate concrete real world needs for
graph-based representation, how certain use cases are of interest to the
graph community, how using graphs can bring added (business) value, what
kind of graph representation is needed for a given case etc.
. Technical results will include fundamental graph theory based
results for novel structures for representation, extensions of existing
structures for added expressivity, conciseness, optimisation algorithms
for reasoning, reasoning explanation, etc.
. Papers reporting on application experience will be expected to
demonstrate the benefits of the graph-based proposed solutions in the
context of the use case studied with respect to other possible solutions.
The conference also welcomes papers on the following topics:
. Knowledge Management,
. Knowledge Architectures,
. Reasoning under Inconsistency,
. Knowledge Representation and Uncertainty,
. Contextual Logic,
. Metaphoric, Cultural or Semiotic Considerations,
. Ontologies,
. Semantic Web,
. Web of Data,
. Web 2.0,
. Conceptual Knowledge Acquisition,
. Data Mining,
. Text Mining,
. Natural Language Processing,
. Linguistics,
. Constraint Satisfaction,
. Decision Making,
. Resource Allocation and
. Agreement Technologies.
