KoDis: Workshop on Knowledge Diversity
==================================
Co-located with the 20th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR 2023),
September 2-8, 2023 Rhodes, Greece
https://kodis23.wordpress.com
== IMPORTANT DATES ==
Workshop paper submission deadline: May 31, 2023 (AOE)
Workshop paper notification: July 4, 2023 (AOE)
Workshop dates: September 2-4, 2023
== AIMS AND SCOPE ==
KoDis intends to create a space of confluence and a forum for discussion for researchers interested in knowledge diversity in a wide sense, including diversity in terms of diverging perspectives, different beliefs, semantic heterogeneity and others. The importance of understanding and handling the different forms of diversity that manifest between knowledge formalisations (ontologies, knowledge bases, or knowledge graphs) is widely recognised and has led to the proposal of a variety of systems of representation, tackling overlapping aspects of this phenomenon.
Besides understanding the phenomenon and considering formal models for the representation of knowledge diversity, we are interested in the variety of reasoning problems that emerge in this context, including reasoning with possibly conflicting sources, interpreting knowledge from alternative viewpoints, consolidating the diversity as uncertainty, reasoning by means of argumentation between the sources and pursuing knowledge aggregations among others. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics of interest.
- Philosophical and cognitive analysis of knowledge diversity.
- Formal models for the representation of knowledge diversity.
- Ontological approaches capturing multiple perspectives and viewpoints.
- Context and concept formation in such systems.
- Consistency (or not) in multi-perspective systems; assessment and mitigation of inconsistencies.
- Communication between knowledge-diverse systems.
- Argumentation-based approaches for dealing with inconsistency
- Aggregation of diverse or inconsistent knowledge; judgement aggregation.
- Uncertainty in the context of knowledge diversity.
- Applications of formal models of knowledge diversity.
== SUBMISSIONS ==
We encourage three types of contributions:
- Full research papers: Submitted papers must not exceed 14 pages excluding the bibliography, and must include an abstract of no more than 300 words. Please, note that the minimum length is 10 pages.
- Short papers: Submitted papers must not exceed 6 pages excluding the bibliography, and must include an abstract of no more than 300 words. Please, note that the minimum length is 5 pages (including the bibliography).
- Extended abstracts (presentation only): should be 2-4 pages long including the bibliography. Please, note that extended abstracts will not be included in the CEUR proceedings.

# Overview
Formal Concept Analysis emerged in the 1980's from attempts to
restructure lattice theory in order to promote better communication
between lattice theorists and potential users of lattice theory. Since
its early years, Formal Concept Analysis has developed into a research
field in its own right with a thriving theoretical community and a
rapidly expanding range of applications in information and knowledge
processing including visualization, data analysis (mining) and knowledge
management and discovery.
The ICFCA conference series aims at bringing together researchers and
practitioners working on theoretical or applied aspects of Formal
Concept Analysis within major related areas such as Mathematics and
Computer and Information Sciences and their diverse applications to
fields like Software Engineering, Linguistics, Life and Social Sciences,
etc.
All accepted submissions will be refereed, and the conference
proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS/LNAI series.

About ICCS:
***************
The International Conferences on Conceptual Structures (ICCS) focus on
the formal analysis and representation of conceptual knowledge at the
crossroads of artificial intelligence, human cognition, computational
linguistics, and related areas of computer science and cognitive
science. The ICCS conferences evolved from 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 have been getting more and more attention.
With the rise of quasi-autonomous AI, graph-based representations
provide a vehicle for making machine cognition explicit to human users.
ICCS 2023 will take place in Berlin, Germany, in September 2023.
Scholars, students and industry participants from different disciplines
will meet for several weeks of conferences, workshops, summer schools,
and public events to engage with the broad topics, issues and challenges
related to knowledge in the 21st century.
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 2023 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. In particular, 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.

provide a vehicle for making machine cognition explicit to human users.
ICCS 2023 will take place in Berlin, Germany, in September 2023.
Scholars, students and industry participants from different disciplines
will meet for several weeks of conferences, workshops, summer schools,
and public events to engage with the broad topics, issues and challenges
related to knowledge in the 21st century.
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 2023 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. In particular, 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.
****************************
Call for Workshops/Tutorials
****************************
We invite proposals for workshops or tutorials to be held on the first
day of ICCS 2023 (September 11, 2023) in Berlin, Germany. Proposals
should address current and emerging topics related to the formal
analysis and representation of conceptual knowledge (cf. also the list
of topics in the CfP). Workshops and tutorials provide an opportunity to
discuss novel topics in an interactive atmosphere. They can concentrate
in-depth on research topics, but can also be devoted to application issues.
*******************
Duration and Format
*******************
We welcome both full- and half-day workshop/tutorial proposals and
encourage a program that is both varied and interesting. We specifically
encourage innovative formats for workshops that go beyond traditional
paper presentations, for example, including a challenge for participants
to solve, or jointly working on a specific problem or document at the
venue. Combinations of half-day tutorial and workshop are also possible,
thus providing the option to introduce a topic and then to discuss
relevant research.
ICCS 2023 will be an on-site conference, thus all contributors are
required to present their work locally in Berlin.

Proposal/Submission Details
***************************
Proposals for workshops/tutorials should (at least) provide the
following information:
- A brief description of
* the specific issues that will be addressed,
* the reasons why the workshop/tutorial is of relevance,
* the main research areas involved,
* and what the workshop/tutorial will add to the conference (e.g., do
you expect papers of a theme that would not fit the main conference?).
- Specifically for workshops,
* information on the workshop chairs and the expected program committee,
* a draft of the Call for Papers, including information on accepted
formats (e.g., regular papers, extended abstracts, oral-only
presentations of relevant recently published or submitted contributions,
etc.)
* and the expected format of the workshop (e.g., invited talks,
presentations, poster sessions, panel discussions, challenge sessions,
or other ideas for ensuring an interactive atmosphere).
- Specifically for tutorials, please add some details on the person(s)
who gives the tutorial and the expected length.
- In the case of a combined tutorial-workshop, please clearly indicate
the format.
- Any special requirements regarding logistics (e.g., poster stands,
audio equipment), if applicable.
Please send your applications or questions to Robert Jäschke
(contact(a)iccs-conference.org). We are looking forward to your proposals.

Motivation and Scope
The forthcoming 5G networks are expected to bring instantaneous connectivity to billions of IoT devices that enable the digital transformation of industry 4.0 for companies, customers, and investors. It is expected that 85 percent of IoT platforms will contain some form of digital twinning by 2030, driving market growth projections from $3.1 billion today to a $48.2 billion increase in the next few years. Digital twins, which are virtual representations of real-world physical entities, have received significant interest from both the research and industrial communities.
The concept is used nowadays in various domains such as manufacturing, healthcare, smart cities, smart agriculture, telecommunication, and utilities to deliver the automation, performance, and cognitive insight required by many industries. Typically, virtual twin systems are generated and then synchronized using data flows in both directions between the real-world physical components and their virtual replica counterparts. Furthermore, a digital twin can enable continuous prototyping and testing on-demand, without interruption, assuring and self-optimizing the forthcoming 5G network and beyond. It creates virtual replicas of IoT devices in various application scenarios and maintains a device twin for every connected device.
The main goal of this Special Issue is to address the challenges of developing digital twins in future networks and present advanced and innovative tools, techniques, and algorithms for emerging IoT applications and services. Contributions addressing both theoretical and practical applications.
