====================================================================================
AIMS AND SCOPE
Since its introduction in the late 1980s, Answer Set Programming (ASP)
has been widely applied to various knowledge-intensive tasks and
combinatorial search problems.ASPwas found to be closely related to SAT,
which led to a new method of computing answer sets using SAT solvers and
techniques adapted from SAT. This has been a much studied relationship,
and is currently extended towards satisfiability modulo theories (SMT).
The relationship ofASPto other computing paradigms, such as constraint
satisfaction, quantified Boolean formulas (QBF), Constraint Logic
Programming (CLP), first-order logic (FOL), and FO(ID) is also the
subject of active research. Consequently, new methods of computing
answer sets are being developed based on relationships to these formalisms.
Furthermore, the practical applications ofASPalso foster work on
multi-paradigm problem-solving, and in particular language and solver
integration. The most prominent examples in this area currently are the
integration ofASPwith description logics (in the realm of the Semantic
Web) and constraint satisfaction (which recently led to the Constraint
Answer Set Programming (CASP) research direction).
A large body of general results regardingASPis available and several
efficientASPsolvers have been implemented. However, there are still
significant challenges in applyingASPto real life applications, and more
interest in relatingASPto other computing paradigms is emerging. This
workshop will provide opportunities for researchers to identify these
challenges and to exchange ideas for overcoming them.
TOPICS
Topics of interests include (but are not limited to):
-ASPand classical logic formalisms (SAT/FOL/QBF/SMT/DL).
-ASPand constraint programming.
-ASPand other logic programming paradigms, e.g., FO(ID).

- New methods of computing answer sets using algorithms or systems of
other paradigms.
- Language extensions toASP.
-ASPand multi-agent systems.

DEADLINE EXTENDED TO: *August 7th, 2024* (23:59 AoE)
================================================================
Conceptual Knowledge Acquisition: Challenges, Opportunities, and Use Cases
Workshop at the 1st International Joint Conference on
Conceptual Knowledge Structures (CONCEPTS 2024)
September 9–13 2024, Cádiz, Spain
Workshop Website: https://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/coka/
Conference website: https://concepts2024.uca.es
================================================================
Formal concept analysis (FCA) can help make sense of data and the underlying
domain --- provided the data is not too big, not too noisy, representative of
the domain, and if there is data in the first place. What if you don’t have such
data readily available but are prepared to invest in collecting it and have
access to domain experts or other reliable queryable sources of information?
Conceptual exploration comes to the rescue!
Conceptual exploration is a family of knowledge-acquisition techniques within
FCA. The goal is to build a complete implicational theory of a domain (with
respect to a fixed language) by posing queries to a domain expert. When properly
implemented, it is a great tool that can help organize the process of scientific
discovery.
Unfortunately, proper implementations are scarce and success stories of using
conceptual exploration are somewhat rare and limited in scope. With this
workshop, we intend to analyze the situation and, maybe, find a solution. If
- you succeeded in acquiring new knowledge about or building a satisfying
conceptual representation of some domain with conceptual exploration before;
- you attempted conceptual exploration in application to your problem but failed
miserably;
- you want to use conceptual exploration to analyze some domain, but you don’t
know where and how to start;
- you are aware of alternatives to conceptual exploration;
then come to the workshop to share your experiences, insights, ideas, and
concerns with us!
==================
Keywords and Topics
==================
Knowledge Acquisition and Capture
Conceptual Exploration
Design Patterns and Paradigmatic Examples
successful use cases and real-world applications
challenges and lessons learned
application principles
missing theoretical foundations
missing technical infrastructure
integration with other theories and technologies
=========================
Duration, Format, and Dates
=========================
We invite contributions in the form of an extended abstract of up to two pages.
In addition, supplementary material, such as data sets, detailed descriptions,
or visualizations, may be submitted.
The workshop is planned for half a day within the conference dates and at the
same venue. It will consist of several short presentations each followed by a
plenary discussion.
Please send your contributions until *August 7th, 2024* (23:59 AoE) to
tom.hanika(a)uni-hildesheim.de. If you are not sure whether your contribution
matches the topics or the format of the workshop, you are welcome to contact the
organizers prior to submitting the abstract. An acceptance notification will be
sent within two weeks upon receiving the submission.

Dear colleagues,
As part of the 18th International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving
From Nature (PPSN 2024), a prime international conference on
evolutionary and other randomized search heuristics, we are organizing
an informal workshop to celebrate the 30th birthday of
estimation-of-distribution algorithms (EDAs), defined here as the 30th
anniversary of the definition of the population-based incremental
learning (PBIL) algorithm in 1994.
We invite researchers and practitioners in the area of
estimation-of-distribution algorithms to contribute a short talk to this
workshop, covering current or recent own research, discussing important
classic results and their impact on the field today, or proposing novel
research directions. If you would like to give such a talk, please send
us a short abstract by August 7, 2024. For details on the submission
process and more information on the workshop, please consult the
workshop page at

====================================================================================
AIMS AND SCOPE
Since its introduction in the late 1980s, Answer Set Programming (ASP)
has been widely applied to various knowledge-intensive tasks and
combinatorial search problems.ASPwas found to be closely related to SAT,
which led to a new method of computing answer sets using SAT solvers and
techniques adapted from SAT. This has been a much studied relationship,
and is currently extended towards satisfiability modulo theories (SMT).
The relationship ofASPto other computing paradigms, such as constraint
satisfaction, quantified Boolean formulas (QBF), Constraint Logic
Programming (CLP), first-order logic (FOL), and FO(ID) is also the
subject of active research. Consequently, new methods of computing
answer sets are being developed based on relationships to these formalisms.
Furthermore, the practical applications ofASPalso foster work on
multi-paradigm problem-solving, and in particular language and solver
integration. The most prominent examples in this area currently are the
integration ofASPwith description logics (in the realm of the Semantic
Web) and constraint satisfaction (which recently led to the Constraint
Answer Set Programming (CASP) research direction).
A large body of general results regardingASPis available and several
efficientASPsolvers have been implemented. However, there are still
significant challenges in applyingASPto real life applications, and more
interest in relatingASPto other computing paradigms is emerging. This
workshop will provide opportunities for researchers to identify these
challenges and to exchange ideas for overcoming them.
TOPICS
Topics of interests include (but are not limited to):
-ASPand classical logic formalisms (SAT/FOL/QBF/SMT/DL).
-ASPand constraint programming.
-ASPand other logic programming paradigms, e.g., FO(ID).
-ASPand other nonmonotonic languages, e.g., action languages.
-ASPand external means of computation.
-ASPand probabilistic reasoning.
-ASPand knowledge compilation.
-ASPand machine learning.
- New methods of computing answer sets using algorithms or systems of
other paradigms.
- Language extensions toASP.
-ASPand multi-agent systems.
-ASPand multi-context systems.
- Modularity andASP.
-ASPand argumentation.
- Multi-paradigm problem solving involvingASP.
- Evaluation and comparison ofASPto other paradigms.
-ASPand related paradigms in applications.
- HybridizingASPwith procedural approaches.
- Enhanced grounding or beyond grounding.
SUBMISSIONS
The workshop invites two types of submissions:
- original papers describing original research.
- non-original paper already published on formal proceedings or journals.
Original papers must not exceed 13 pages (excluding references) and
must be formatted using the 1-column CEURART style availablehere
