[CG] Re: Call for papers: 27th International Conference on Conceptual Structures (ICCS 2022)

Thanks John. Hopefully you'll be able to give your keynote at ICCS 2022?

I presented the following article at an ICCS conference in Denmark in 2006: "Peirce's Contributions to the 21st Century", http://jfsowa.com/pubs/csp21st.pdf . Many other Peirce scholars had also presented talks at various ICCS conferences over the years. And ,many researchers who worked on Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) had also related their work to Peirce's writings. All the issues discussed in that article are just as relevant to ICCS conferences today and to any discussions by anybody who wants to relate Peirce's writings to ongoing research in the 21st century.

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. With the rise of quasi-autonomous AI, graph-based representations provide a vehicle for making machine cognition explicit to its human users. Submissions are invited on significant, original, and previously unpublished research on the formal analysis and representation of conceptual knowledge in artificial intelligence (AI). All papers will receive mindful and rigorous reviews that will provide authors with useful critical feedback. The aim of the ICCS 2022 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. 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, Graph Databases, Diagrams, Knowledge Graphs, Semantic Web, etc.) from a modelling, theoretical and application viewpoint. *Topics* Topics include but are not limited to: - Existential and Conceptual Graphs - Graph-based models for human reasoning - Social network analysis - Formal Concept Analysis - Conceptual knowledge acquisition - Data and Text mining - Human and machine reasoning under inconsistency - Human and machine knowledge representation and uncertainty - Automated decision-making and argumentation - Preferences - Contextual logic - Ontologies - Knowledge architecture and management - Semantic Web, Web of Data, Web 2.0 - Conceptual structures in natural language processing and linguistics - Metaphoric, cultural or semiotic considerations - Constraint satisfaction - Resource allocation and agreement technologies - Philosophical, neural, and didactic investigations of conceptual, graphical representations *Submission Information* We invite scientific papers of up to fourteen pages, short contributions up to eight pages. Papers must be formatted according to Springer's LNCS style guidelines and not exceed the page limit. Papers will be subject to double-blind peer review, in which the reviewers do not know the author's identity, and the submission should be done via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iccs20220). All paper submissions will be refereed and authors will have the opportunity to respond to reviewers' comments during the rebuttal phase. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings, published by Springer in the LNCS/LNAI series. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper there. Proceedings will be submitted for indexation by DBLP. *Review Process* Papers will be subject to double blind peer review in which the reviewers do not know the author's identity. In order to make blind reviewing possible, authors must omit their names and affiliations from the paper. Also, while the references should not include unpublished work. When referring to one's own work, use the third person rather than the first person. Such identifying information can be added back to the final camera-ready version of accepted papers. Similarly, reviewers should not reveal their identities within the paper reviews. The review process will include the opportunity for authors to see the reviews of their papers and to respond to technical questions raised by the reviewers before discussion starts within the Program Committee. The decision of the Program Committee will be final and cannot be appealed. *Program Committee (tentative)* - Adil Kabbaj - INSEA - Amedeo Napoli - LORIA Nancy (CNRS - Inria - Université de Lorraine) France - Bernd Amann - Sorbonne Université - LIP6 - Catherine Faron Zucker - Université Nice Sophia Antipolis - Christian Sacarea - Babes-Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca - Dan Corbett - Optimodal Technologies, LLC - Diana Cristea - Babes-Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca - Diana Sotropa - Babes-Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca - Dmitry Ignatov - National Research University Higher School of Economics - Dominik Endres - University of Marburg - Eric Salvat - IMERIR - Fatiha Saïs - LRI ( Paris Sud University &CNRS8623), Paris Saclay University - Florent Domenach - Akita International University - Gerd Stumme - University of Kassel - Guoqiang Zhang - UTHealth - Hamamache Kheddouci - Universit Claude Bernard - Harry Delugach - University of Alabama in Huntsville - Heather D.
