GENERAL INFORMATION
The DL workshop is the major annual event of the description logic research community. It
is the forum in which those interested in description logics, both from academia and
industry, meet to discuss ideas, share information and compare experiences. The 37th
edition will be held in Bergen, Norway, from June 18th to June 21st.
WORKSHOP SCOPE
We invite contributions on all aspects of description logics, including, but not limited
to:
Foundations of description logics:
decidability and complexity of reasoning, expressive power, novel inference problems,
inconsistency management, reasoning techniques, modularisation, ontology extraction,
abductive and inductive reasoning, learnability
Extensions of description logics:
closed-world and non-monotonic reasoning, epistemic reasoning, temporal and spatial
reasoning, procedural knowledge, query answering, reasoning over dynamic information
Integration of description logics with other formalisms:
database query languages, constraint-based programming, logic programming, rule-based
systems, knowledge graphs, hybrid reasoning approaches
Applications of description logics:
ontology engineering, ontology languages, databases, ontology-based data access,
semi-structured data, graph-structured data, linked data, document management, natural
language, hybrid approaches combining logic and learning, explanations, planning, Semantic
Web, cloud computing, conceptual modeling, web services, business processes, practical
experiences, case studies, feasibility studies
Systems and tools of all kinds around description logics:
reasoners, ontology editors, ontology alignment, ontology extraction, ontology learning
and mining, other support for ontology development, database schema design, query
rewriting/answering/optimization, data integration, implementation and optimization
techniques, benchmarking, evaluation, modeling
STUDENT GRANTS
A limited number of student grants for participating in DL 2024 are available for students
with limited funding. The grants consist of a fixed amount that can be used to support
with travel costs and/or registration fees. Grants will be given to motivated students who
are genuinely interested in attending the workshop and lack sufficient funding. Preference
will be given to students who have a paper (or abstract) accepted to DL 2024. Further
information is available on:
https://dl2024.w.uib.no/students/.
INVITED SPEAKERS
Camille Bourgaux - CNRS researcher at École Normale Supérieure (part of PSL University),
France
Gabriele Kern-Isberner - Technical University of Dortmund, Germany
Ondřej Kuželka - Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic
SUBMISSIONS
DL reviewing is single-blind, so the names of the authors will be visible to the reviewers
and should be indicated on the submitted files. We allow anonymous submission on request
(see below).
Submissions within the workshop scope may be of two types:
A. Regular papers of up to 11 pages (excluding references).
B. Extended abstracts of 2–4 pages (excluding references).
Both regular papers and abstracts must be formatted using the new CEURART style, based on
the DL-specific template available on:
https://dl2024.w.uib.no/submissions/
and submitted via Easychair.
Submissions of type A must contain enough substance that they can be cited in other
publications and may not have appeared before (nor be under submission). A clearly marked
appendix with additional proofs and evaluation data may be included.
For submissions of type B, we highly encourage a clearly marked appendix with additional
proofs, evaluation data, or extended version of your paper, which was accepted at another
conference or which you submitted or plan to submit to another conference. Abstracts of
papers accepted or under review at other venues must clearly state the venue where the
paper has been submitted alongside its status.
The appendix will be read at the discretion of the reviewers and will not be included in
the proceedings. The appendix does not need to be in the CEURART format.
Accepted submissions of both types will be selected for either oral or poster presentation
at the workshop. Submissions will be judged solely based on their content, and the type of
submission will have no bearing on the decision between oral and poster presentation.
Anonymous Submission
In justified cases, if you wish your submission to be handled anonymously (i.e.
double-blind), please send an e-mail to the PC co-chairs explaining the reasons. You will
receive instructions on how to proceed.
