          Knowledge Representation Ontology Workshop (KROW 2008)

                         Call for Papers           

                        A KR 2008 Workshop

                     September 16 - 19, 2008

                        Sydney, Australia

          http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~kr2008/krow.html

KROW 2008 is one of two workshops forming an integral part of the program

of the 11th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge

Representation  and Reasoning (KR2008). It is a continuation of the 

Australasian Ontology Workshop series: 

http://www.comp.mq.edu.au/conferences/aow/.

The primary aim of the workshop is to bring together active researchers in

the broad area of ontologies. Topics of interest include, but are not 

limited to:

- Ontology models and theories         

- Ontologies and the Semantic Web     

- Interoperability in ontologies      

- Ontologies and Multi-agent systems                                        

- Description logics for ontologies  

- Reasoning with ontologies 

- Ontology harvesting on the web      

- Ontology of agents and actions

- Ontology visualisation  

- Ontology engineering and management

- Ontology-based information extraction  and retrieval

- Ontology merging, alignment and integration

- Web ontology languages

- Formal concept analysis and ontologies 

The proceedings of the three workshops in the AOW series were published as

volumes 58, 72, and 85 of the Conferences in Research and Practice in

Information Technology (CRPIT) series (http://crpit.com/), and this will also 

be the case for the KROW 2008 proceedings. We also expect that extended 

versions of selected papers will appear in a special issue of an appropriate journal.

Submission information such as format, page limits, etc. can be found on the 

CRPIT website: http://crpit.com/AuthorsSubmitting.html.
