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 Submissions are invited on significant, original, and previously unpublished research on the formal analysis and representation of conceptual knowledge in artificial intelligence (AI).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. ********** 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 Argumentation Constraint satisfaction Preferences Contextual logic Ontologies Knowledge architecture and management Semantic Web, Web of Data, Web 2.0, Linked (Open) Data Conceptual structures in natural language processing and linguistics Metaphoric, cultural or semiotic considerations Resource allocation and agreement technologies Philosophical, neural, and didactic investigations of conceptual, graphical representations ******************** Important Dates: ******************** - Abstract registration deadline: March 19th, 2023 - Submission deadline: March 26th, 2023 - Paper Reviews Sent to Authors: May 14th, 2023 - Rebuttals Due: May 21th, 2023 - Notification to authors: May 31th, 2023 - Camera-ready papers due: June 14th, 2023 ******************** Submission Details: ******************** We invite scientific papers of up to fourteen pages, short contributions of up to eight pages, and extended poster abstracts of up to three pages. Papers and poster abstracts 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. We recommend using services like https://anonymous.4open.science/ to anonymously share code or data. Anonymized works that are available as preprints (e.g., on arXiv or SSRN) may be submitted without citing them. Submission should be made via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iccs2023. 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. Poster submissions will also be refereed, and selected poster abstracts might be included in the conference proceedings.

by Robert Jäschke

ACM/IEEE JCDL 2023 – June 26 - 30, 2023, Santa Fe, New Mexico https://2023.jcdl.org/ *Rethinking Digital Records* /Exploring new perspectives, challenges, and opportunities for libraries, archives, museums, and galleries/ The notion of what constitutes a digital library has evolved over time. In recent years, the ability to retain a digital record of the volatile world has been of critical importance for ensuring that our collective history is available for posterity. Progressing research and disseminating state-of-the-art advancements in digital libraries are thus of supreme importance to humanity. The annual ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL) is the primary international event for the inter- and multi-disciplinary community of academics and practitioners in digital libraries coming from computer, information and social sciences, and other related disciplines. JCDL encompasses the many meanings of the term digital libraries, including notions of managing, operating, developing, curating, evaluating, or utilizing collections of data/information/knowledge in various domains. *Topics* Topics of interest, as they relate to digital libraries, include, but are not limited to: Users and Interactions - Collaborative and participatory information environments - Crowdsourcing and human computation - Human-information interaction - Information visualization - Social networks, virtual organizations and networked information - Social media, community building, and applications - User behavior and modeling Search and Recommendation - AI / Machine learning / Data mining for DLs - Dataset retrieval - Information and knowledge systems - Information retrieval - Knowledge discovery - Natural language processing - Navigational and exploratory search - Personalization and contextualization Digital Libraries in Practice - Digital archiving and preservation - Digital humanities and heritage - Knowledge organization systems in practice - Personal digital information management - Performance evaluation - Policy and law - Privacy and intellectual property - Scientific data management Content and Structures - Data curation and stewardship - Document genres - Extracting semantics, entities, and patterns from large collections - Infrastructure and service design - Linked data and its applications - Research data management - Web and network science *Paper Types and Formats* JCDL 2023 offers two paper submission deadlines: Submissions for research papers (long or short) are due on January 29, 2023. The deadline for late-breaking results and datasets is February 12, 2023. The submission formats are outlined below. *Research Papers* (deadline: January 29, 2023) Authors may choose between two formats: - /Full papers/ have at most 10 pages and report on mature work, or efforts that have reached an important milestone. They will get presentation slots of 20 to 30 minutes. - /Short papers/ have at most 4 pages and highlight efforts that might be in an early stage, but are important for the community to be made aware of; they can also present theories or systems that can be described concisely in the limited space. Short papers will get presentation slots of 10 to 15 minutes. *Late Breaking Results and Datasets* (deadline: February 12, 2023) This comprises submissions falling into the following categories: - /Late breaking results/ present new insights or information about research that was completed after the research paper submission deadline. - /Dataset submissions/ a new category that allow description of relevant research datasets. These need to be either fully publicly available or have to contain a publicly available subset. Late Breaking Results and Datasets submissions should be 2-4 pages and will be allotted a 5 minute presentation slot at the conference. *Submission Guidelines* All submissions must be original works, not previously published or under review for publication elsewhere, in English, in PDF format, and in the current ACM two-column conference format. Suitable LaTeX, Word, and Overleaf templates are available from the ACM Website (use "sigconf" proceedings template for LaTeX and the Interim Template for Word, https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template). Complete papers are required; submissions consisting solely of an abstract or those that are otherwise incomplete will not be reviewed. For all formats, references do not count to the page limit. Submissions are to be made via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl2023 *All submissions will be rigorously peer-reviewed in a double-blind reviewing process.* *Submissions must be anonymous* and all references to authors' works have to be anonymized.

ICFCA 2023 - 2nd Call for Workshops and Tutorials

by Gerd Stumme

================================================================================ ICFCA 2023 17th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis July 17-21, 2023, Kassel, Germany Web: https://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/icfca2023/ Mail: icfca2023(a)lists.cs.uni-kassel.de ================================================================================ # Call for Workshops and Tutorials The ICFCA 2023 Organizing Committee invites proposals for workshops/tutorials to be held on the first day of the conference (July 17, 2023), which will take place in Kassel, Germany. We invite proposals for both **full- and half-day workshops/tutorial** in current and emerging topics in (or related to) Formal Concept Analysis. The workshop 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. ICFCA 2023 will be a hybrid conference with a strong emphasis on on-site interaction. Therefore all contributors are required to present their work locally in Kassel. # Duration & format We welcome both full- and half-day workshop/tutorial proposals. We would like to encourage proposers to aim for a program that is both varied and interesting. For workshops, especially where the format is concerned, we would like you to think about ways of going beyond the usual list of presentations of accepted papers. Another way of extending the usual format is to include a specific challenge problem that can be addressed by the workshop participants, with a dedicated challenge session in the workshop program. Note, however, that the challenge should be only one of the components of the workshop, targeting a problem which is specific to the workshop topic(s). # Combined Tutorial & Workshop Especially for a relatively novel but rapidly maturing topic, giving an introduction of the state-of-the-art may go beyond the scope of an invited presentation. In this case, a half day tutorial followed by a half day workshop could be a good format. # Guidelines for proposals When proposing a workshop or a tutorial, please provide (at least) the following information: - A brief description of - the specific issues that will be addressed, - the reasons why the workshop/tutorial is of interest in these times, - 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?). - For workshops, - 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 expected format of the workshop (e.g., invited talks, presentations, poster sessions, panel discussions, challenge sessions, or other ideas for ensuring an interactive atmosphere). - 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. # Submission For applying or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Program Chairs Domingo López Rodríguez and Dominik Dürrschnabel: icfca2023(a)lists.cs.uni-kassel.de. We are looking forward to your proposals. # Tutorial/Workshop proposal deadline: Friday, February 3, 2023
