Popular knowledge representation formalisms range from databases, ontologies, classical, probabilistic and non-monotonic logics to natural language, offering rich means to describe a variety of static as well as dynamic phenomena. Automated reasoning systems harness machine learning, combinatorial search and optimization methods, planning, proving, design and diagnosis techniques to provide powerful tools for analyzing and deriving conclusions from complex input data. Novel, general and interdisciplinary approaches are thus vital contributions at the intersection of science, industry and society, aiming to enhance the capabilities and outreach of KR principles and technologies. This year, for the third time, KR 2022 will host a track on "Applications and Systems". This track aims at providing researchers and industrial practitioners with a dedicated forum for presentation and discussion of new ideas, research experience and emerging results on topics related to applications of KR formalisms and automated reasoning systems. This track provides the opportunity for fostering meaningful connections between researchers from both practical and theoretical areas of AI and, at the same time, offers participants the possibility to learn about progress made on these topics, share their own views and elaborate about approaches that could lead to effective cross-fertilisation among research in challenging KR applications and new innovative systems for solving them. ** EXPECTED CONTRIBUTIONS ** The Applications and Systems Track at KR 2022 invites submissions of papers on all aspects of the development, deployment, and evaluation of KR systems to solve significant and challenging application problems, including: - case studies, including suitable descriptions of the problem setting, data and tools used, and “lessons learnt”, - use cases, including task specifications, related tasks/approaches, challenges, and a sketch of possible KR solution, - benchmarks, including suitable descriptions of the dataset, reasoning tasks, and ideally some “solution set” or gold standard, - system descriptions, including descriptions of the algorithm, implementation - and empirical evaluation on a suitable dataset. We welcome the above kinds of papers on a wide range of topics, including classic KR tools/techniques as well as their usage for solving or supporting tasks in a range of areas, for example: - Computational Biology - Computer Vision and Image/Video Recognition - Creative Computing - Cybersecurity and Blockchain - Data Analytics - Databases and Query Answering - Diagnosis and Explanation - Game Theory and Social Choice - Intelligent Transportation and Logistics - Intelligent User Interfaces - Internet of Things - Machine Learning - Natural Language Processing - Digital Forensics - Robotics and Human Robot Collaboration - Semantic Web and Knowledge Graphs - Software Engineering - System Design We welcome submissions talking about interdisciplinary applications of KR, for example in economics, education, life sciences, medicine, and pharmacology. ** AUTHOR GUIDELINES AND SUBMISSION INFORMATION ** The Applications and Systems Track will allow contributions of both regular papers (9 pages) and short papers (4 pages), excluding references, prepared and submitted according to the authors guidelines in the submission page: https://kr2022.cs.tu-dortmund.de/submission.php The track emphasizes applications of KR and development of KR systems, and welcomes contributions showcasing the impact of KR research as well as driving future research by presenting challenging data, use cases and problems together with observations and insights gained. Submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed by PC members, who are active in applications of KR and/or development of KR systems. Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of the overall quality of their technical contribution, including criteria such as originality, soundness, relevance, significance, quality of presentation, and understanding of the state of the art. In this track, the selection process of the highest quality papers will further apply the following criteria: - (for case studies) quality of the evaluation and significance of the "lessons learnt”" - (for use cases) importance and novelty of these use cases for KR - (for system descriptions) quality of the empirical evaluation and its reporting - (for benchmarks) reusability, coverage, and complexity of the datasets ** CHAIRS ** Alessandro Antonucci (IDSIA, Switzerland) Matthias Thimm (University of Hagen, Germany) Wichtiger Hinweis: Die Information in dieser E-Mail ist vertraulich.

This trend is essentially motivated by the clear complementarity of ML and KR. For instance, the popularity and success of ML based systems has put issues such as explainability, bias and fairness firmly in the spotlight, and addressing these issues naturally leads to systems in which symbolic (or at least interpretable) representations play a more central role. On the other hand, ML also offers solutions for long-standing challenges in the field of KR, for instance related to efficient, noise-tolerant and ampliative inference, knowledge acquisition, and the limitations of symbolic representations. The synergy between ML and KR has the potential to lead to new advancements in fundamental AI challenges including, but not limited to, learning symbolic generalisations from raw (multi-modal) data, using knowledge to facilitate data-efficient learning, supporting interpretability of learned outcomes, federated multi-agent learning and decision-making. This year, for the third time, KR2022 will host a special session on "Knowledge Representation and Machine Learning", which aims at providing researchers and practitioners with a dedicated forum for the discussion of new ideas and research results at the intersection of these two fields. This special session will provide participants with the opportunity to make meaningful connections and develop a shared understanding of the challenges involved in developing innovative AI solutions that rely on a combination of insights and methods from ML and KR. ** EXPECTED CONTRIBUTIONS ** The Special Session on KR and ML at KR2022 invites submissions of papers that combine aspects of KR and ML research, including the use of KR methods for solving ML challenges (e.g. knowledge-guided or explainable learning), the use of ML methods for solving KR challenges (e.g. efficient inference, knowledge base completion), the integration of learning and reasoning, and the application of combined KR and ML approaches to solve real-world problems. We welcome papers on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to: * Learning symbolic knowledge, such as ontologies and knowledge graphs, action theories, commonsense knowledge, spatial and temporal theories, preference models and causal models * Logic-based, logical and relational learning algorithms * Machine-learning driven reasoning algorithms * Neural-symbolic learning * Statistical relational learning * Multi-agent learning * Symbolic reinforcement learning * Learning symbolic abstractions from unstructured data * Explainable AI * Expressive power of learning representations * Knowledge-driven natural language understanding and dialogue * Knowledge-driven decision making * Knowledge-driven intelligent systems for internet of things and cybersecurity * Architectures that combine data-driven techniques and formal reasoning ** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES AND EVALUATION CRITERIA ** The Special Session on KR and Machine Learning will allow contributions of both regular papers (9 pages) and short papers (4 pages), excluding references, prepared and submitted according to the authors guidelines in the submission page: https://kr2022.cs.tu-dortmund.de/submission.php The special session welcomes contributions that extend the state-of-the-art at the intersection of KR and ML. Therefore, KR-only or ML-only submissions will not be accepted for evaluation in this special session. Submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed by PC members who are active in KR and ML. Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of the originality, soundness, relevance and significance of the technical contribution, as well as the overall presentation quality. ** CHAIRS ** Fabio Cozman University of Sao Paulo, Brazil Steven Schockaert Cardiff University, UK Wichtiger Hinweis: Die Information in dieser E-Mail ist vertraulich.

Indeed, autonomous agents have been deployed in many scenarios, which include both industrial and manufacturing contexts, as well as applications in the tertiary sector. Most recently, there has also been increased interest in integrating robots within a broader Smart City environment as well as in Healthcare and Assistive scenarios. However, to operate reliably in the real world, robots need high-level cognitive skills: e.g., advanced motor skills, representations of the world around them, representations of the users they interact with, decisional autonomy, task planning, problem solving, interaction capabilities grounded on sensory modalities, and sophisticated sensemaking skills, to name just a few. In addition, while the success of data-driven paradigms, namely of Machine Learning and Deep Learning methods, has magnified the robots' ability to recognize patterns from the perceptual information collected through their sensors, much more work is needed to go from pattern recognition to high-level cognition and sensemaking. To this purpose, robots also need access to knowledge representations that are more comprehensive and explainable than those embedded in data-driven methods. They need knowledge about their capabilities and features of the environment (e.g., human users, other robots, devices, etc.) in order to characterize and understand the relationships between their internal structures and the environment. Analogously, when interacting with humans, robots should be endowed with some kind of common sense or "human-level" knowledge in order to properly evaluate, for example, social norms or expected affordances of objects in the environment. Furthermore, they also need robust mechanisms to reason on these knowledge representations. A key requirement, in this context, is ensuring that knowledge representations and knowledge-based reasoning techniques are suitable for robotic applications. ** EXPECTED CONTRIBUTIONS ** This special session welcomes contributions at the intersection of Knowledge Representation and Robotics. We solicit papers which extend knowledge representation and reasoning methods to address the challenges faced by robots operating in the real world. Themes of interest to this session include, but are not limited to: * Reasoning with different sensory modalities; * Sensor interpretation and continuous data streams in robotic scenarios; * Reasoning with time and space; * Grounding representations in the physical world; * Time-valid representations and handling change; * Dealing with uncertain, incomplete or contradictory information; * Detecting and handling errors and anomalies; * Reasoning with bounded computational resources; * Modelling different types of robot intelligence (social, affective, visual, and others); * Human-Robot Interaction; * Cognitive Architectures for Robotics; * Ontology Engineering for Robotics; * Knowledge Graphs for Robotics; * Representing implicit knowledge (commonsense, plausibility, typicality) for use in robotics applications; * Applying general-purpose knowledge-bases to scenarios in robotics; * Combining quantitative and qualitative knowledge representations; * Integrating different computational methods– e.g., data-driven and knowledge-driven; * Integrating symbolic and sub-symbolic approaches; * Explainable and transparent robot behaviours; * Reasoning for deliberation and decision-making; * Reasoning for planning and task allocation; * Combining reasoning with control theories; * Causal reasoning in robotics applications; * Orchestrating Multi-Robot Systems. ** INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS ** The Special Session on KR & Robotics will allow contributions of both regular papers (9 pages) and short papers (4 pages), excluding references, prepared and submitted according to the authors guidelines detailed on the submission page: https://kr2022.cs.tu-dortmund.de/submission.php The special session emphasizes KR & Robotics, and welcomes contributions that extend the state of the art at the intersection of KR & Robotics. Therefore, KR-only or Robotics-only submissions will not be accepted for evaluation in this special session. Submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed by PC members who are active in KR & Robotics. They will be evaluated on the basis of the overall quality of their scientific contribution, including criteria such as originality, soundness, relevance, significance, quality of presentation, and awareness of the state of the art. ** CHAIRS ** Gabriella Cortellessa (National Research Council, Italy) Enrico Motta (The Open University, UK) Agnese Chiatti (The Open University, UK, Assistant Chair) Wichtiger Hinweis: Die Information in dieser E-Mail ist vertraulich.

ACM UMAP is the premier international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or to groups of users, and which collect, represent, and model user information. We encourage both researchers and industry practitioners to submit workshop and tutorial proposals. We strongly suggest involving organizers from different institutions, bringing different perspectives to the workshop or tutorial topic. We welcome workshops and tutorials with a creative structure that may attract various types of attendees and ensure rich interactions. All the tutorials and workshops should support both virtual and physical attendance (although we hope physical to be the preferred option). -------------------------------------------------------- **Call for Workshop Proposals** ============================ The workshops provide a venue to discuss and explore emerging areas of User Modeling and Adaptive Hypermedia research with like-minded researchers and practitioners from industry and academia. -------------------------------------------------------- **Important Dates** ============================ - Proposals due: January 27, 2022 - Notification to proposers: February 10, 2022 - Workshop day(s): July TBD, 2022 All deadlines are 11:59 pm, AoE time (Anywhere on Earth). -------------------------------------------------------- **Workshop Formats** ============================ In this edition, our goal is to have a balanced workshop program, comprising workshops with different formats and addressing newly emerging, currently evolving and established research topics. Different schemas to organize the workshop are possible, such as: - Working group meetings around a problem or topic. - Mini-conferences on special topics, having their own paper submission and review processes. - Mini-competitions or challenges around selected topics with individual or team participation. - Interactive discussion meetings focusing on subtopics of the UMAP general research topics. - Joint panels for different workshops.

Today, service and cloud technologies are applied to build large-scale software landscapes as well as to provide single software services to end users. Services today are independently developed and deployed as well as freely composed while they can be implemented in a variety of technologies, a quite important fact from a business perspective. Similarly, cloud computing aims at enabling flexibility by offering a centralised sharing of resources. The industry's need for agile and flexible software and IT systems has made cloud computing the dominating paradigm for provisioning computational resources in a scalable, on- demand fashion. Nevertheless, service developers, providers, and integrators still need to create methods, tools and techniques to support cost-effective and secure development as well as use of dependable devices, platforms, services and service- oriented applications in the cloud. The European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC) is the premier conference on advances in the state of the art and practice of service- oriented computing and cloud computing in Europe. The main objectives of this conference are to facilitate the exchange between researchers and practitioners in the areas of service-oriented computing and cloud computing, as well as to explore the new trends in those areas and foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond. Satellite Contributions - PhD Symposium: an opportunity for PhD students to present their research activities and perspectives, to critically discuss them with other PhD students and with established researchers in the area, hence getting fruitful feedback and advices on their research activities. - Projects Track: a useful opportunity for researchers to disseminate the latest research developments in their projects and meet representatives of other consortia. - Industrial Track: a useful opportunity for the industry to disseminate the latest innovations and product developments in their field and meet other industry representatives. - Workshop Papers: three specialised workshops will be organised as part of ESOCC 2022; more information is available here: https://esocc-conf.eu/index.php/workshops/ .

Submissions that draw attention to the role conceptual modeling can play in areas where it has not traditionally been applied are especially welcome, since the overall theme of ER 2022 is Conceptual modeling to support Big Data Analytics and AI Topics of interest span the entire spectrum of conceptual modeling including research and practice in all related areas. Topics include theories of concepts and ontologies underlying conceptual modeling, modeling languages, methods and tools for developing and communicating conceptual models, and techniques for transforming conceptual models into effective implementations. Big data analytics demands modeling complex data into a variety of models and accommodate 5V's (Volume, Velocity, Variety, Value and Veracity). Can the conceptual modeling community raise to the occasion to meet the Big Data Analytics needs?

In doing so, the CBI series has proven to be a fertile ground for research with high impact, and a hub for multidisciplinary research with contributions from Management Science, Organisational Sciences, Economics, Information Systems, Computer Science, and Informatics. In line with this, the CBI series aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners from various fields and backgrounds that contribute to the construction, use and management of IT-based systems and their organisational business context. A dedicated goal of the CBI series of conferences is to bring together researchers from different fields and disciplines to stimulate discussion, synergy and collaboration. Accordingly, CBI conferences use a format that enables in depth discussions among researchers during the conference. The benefits of such a cross disciplinary conception are contrasted by a challenge: Authors who submit a paper take the risk to be assessed by standards that are different from those they are used to in their own research communities. The conference organisation accounts for this challenge by involving renowned track chairs and program committee members from different fields and disciplines. Submission Manuscripts must be in English and are restricted to 10 pages in IEEE 2-column template (A4). Template files for MS Word and Latex are available at https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html Submissions should be made via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ieeecbi2022# Accepted papers will be published in a volume of the IEEE Conference Proceedings and submitted for integration into the IEEE Digital Library.

CAUSAL 2022 IMPORTANT DATES ----------------------- * Paper submission: May 22nd 2022 * Notification: June 5th 2022 * Final Versions: June 20th 2022 * Workshop Date: TBD (in July 31 - August 8 2022) ------------------------ Sophisticated causal reasoning has long been prevalent in human society and continues to have an undeniable impact on the advancement of science, technology, medicine, and other significant fields. From the development of ancient tools to modern roots of causal analysis in business and industry, reasoning about causality and having the ability to explain causal mechanisms  enables us to identify how an outcome of interest came to be and gives  insight into how to bring about, or even prevent, similar outcomes in future  scenarios. This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners of logic programming with a dedicated focus on methods and trends emerging from the study of causality and explanation. We welcome the submission of papers on systems, tools, and applications of logic programming methods for causal reasoning and explanation. In particular, we encourage submissions presenting recent developments, including works in progress. The workshop will present the latest research and application developments in these areas and provide opportunities to discuss current and future research directions and relationships to other fields (e.g. Machine Learning, Diagnosis, Natural Language Processing and Understanding, Philosophy of Science). An important  expected outcome of this workshop is to collect first-hand feedback from the ICLP  community about the role and placement of causal reasoning and explanation in  the landscape of modern computer theory as well as in the software industry. TOPICS ------ Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): * Modeling causal theories in logic programming * Formalization of types of causes: sufficient, necessary, actual, etc * Causality, temporal reasoning and action theories * Causality and counterfactual reasoning * Causality, learning and experimental design * Causality and probability * Causality and equivalence * Causality and ontology * Relating LP based causality and Causal Networks * Challenging problems and benchmark examples * Justifications and argumentation * Explanations for diagnosis and debugging * Tools, systems and applications Submissions must describe original research and be prepared using the Springer LNAI/LNCS format and should be no longer than 13 pages. https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/conference-proceedings/conference-proceedings-guidelines Please submit your paper via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=causal2022 At least one co-author of each accepted paper must register for and attend the workshop.

CALL FOR PAPERS ICLP'22 Workshop on Goal-directed Execution of Answer Set Programs https://utdallas.edu/~gupta/gde22 Date: August 1, 2022 located with ICLP'22: 38th International Conference on Logic Programming July 31 - Aug 8, 2022, Haifa, Israel Workshop Aim: Answer set programming is a successful extension of logic programming for solving combinatorial problems as well as knowledge representation and reasoning problems. Most current implementations of ASP work by grounding a program and using a SAT solver-like technology to find the answer sets. While this approach is extremely efficient, relying on grounding of the program leads to significant blow-up of the program size, and computing the whole model makes finding justification of an atom in the model hard. This limits the applicability of ASP to problems dealing with large knowledge bases. Goal-directed or query-driven execution strategies have been proposed that do not require grounding. The goal of this workshop is to foster discussion around challenges and opportunities that such approaches present. Tentative list of topics include: Non-grounding based implementations of ASP Constructive Negation Implementation Technology for Goal-directed ASP Applications of Goal-directed ASP Query-driven Constraint ASP System Description Tabling in goal-directed ASP Systems Coinductive Logic Programming and ASP Submission Instructions: Technical papers, position papers, as well as extended abstracts are welcome. Papers should be maximum 8 pages long and in LNCS Format.

They address the need to reason about relational domains under uncertainty arising in a variety of application domains, such as bioinformatics, the semantic web, robotics, and many more. Developments in PLP include new languages that combine logic programming with probability theory as well as algorithms that operate over programs in these formalisms. PLP is part of a wider current interest in probabilistic programming. By promoting probabilities as explicit programming constructs, inference, parameter estimation and learning algorithms can be run over programs that represent highly structured probability spaces. Partly due to logic programming's strong theoretical underpinnings, PLP is fast becoming a very well founded area of probabilistic programming. It builds upon and benefits from the large body of existing work in logic programming, both in semantics and implementation, but also presents new challenges to the field. PLP reasoning often requires the evaluation of a large number of possible states before any answers can be produced thus breaking the sequential search model of traditional logic programs. While PLP has already contributed a number of formalisms, systems and well understood and established results in: parameter estimation, tabling, marginal probabilities and Bayesian learning, many questions remain open in this exciting, expanding field in the intersection of AI, machine learning and statistics. The workshop encompasses all aspects of combining logic, algorithms, programming and probability. It aims to bring together researchers in all aspects of probabilistic logic programming, including theoretical work, system implementations and applications. Interactions between theoretical and applied minded researchers are encouraged. Topics of Interest ------------------ This workshop provides a forum for the exchange of ideas, presentation of results and preliminary work in all areas related to probabilistic logic programming; including, but not limited to: * probabilistic logic programming formalisms * probabilistic logic programming languages * parameter estimation * statistical inference * implementations * structure learning * reasoning with uncertainty * constraint store approaches * stochastic and randomised algorithms * probabilistic knowledge representation and reasoning * neuro-symbolic representation and reasoning * constraints in statistical inference * PLP applications, such as bioinformatics, semantic web, robotics,... * probabilistic graphical models * Bayesian learning * tabling for learning and stochastic inference * MCMC * stochastic search * labelled logic programs * integration of statistical software along with any other PLP-related topic. Submissions --------------- Submissions will be managed via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=plp22. Contributions should be prepared in the 1-column CEURART style (also available as an overleaf project https://www.overleaf.com/project/5e76702c4acae70001d3bc87). A mixture of papers are sought including: new results, work in progress as well as technical summaries of recent substantial contributions. Papers presenting new results should be 6-15 pages in length. Work in progress and technical summaries can be shorter (2-5 pages). The workshop proceedings will clearly indicate the type of each paper. At least one author of each accepted paper will be required to attend the workshop to present the contribution.

This global concern has manifested in many initiatives at different levels. There is an intrinsic relation between these two topics. It is not enough for an autonomous agent to behave ethically, it should also be able to explain its behavior, i.e. there is a need for both ethical component and explanation component. Furthermore, an explainable behavior is obviously not acceptable if it is not ethical (i.e., does not follow the ethical norms of the society). In many application domains especially when human lives are involved (and ethical decisions must be made), users need to understand well the system recommendations, so as to be able to explain the reasons for their decisions to other people.One of the most important ultimate goals of explainable AI systems is the efficient mapping between explainability and causality. Explainability is the system ability to explain itself in natural language to average user by being able to say, "I generated this output because x,y,z". In other words, the ability of the system to state the causes behind its decision is central for explainability. However, when critical systems (ethical decisions) are concerned, is it enough to explain system's decisions to the human user? Do we need to go beyond the boundaries of the predictive model to be able to observe a cause and effect within the system? There exists a big corpus of research work on explainability, trying to explain the output of some blackbox model following different approaches. Some of them try to generate logical rules as explanations. However, It is worth noting that most methods for generating post-hoc explanations are themselves based on statistical tools, that are subject to uncertainty or errors. Many of the post-hoc explainability techniques try to approximate deep-learning black-box models with simpler interpretable models that can be inspected to explain the black-box models. However, these approximate models are not provably loyal with respect to the original model, as there are always trade-offs between explainability and fidelity. On the other side, a good corpus of researchers have used inherently interpretable approaches to design and implement their ethical autonomous agents. Most of them are based on logic programming, from deontic logics to non-monotonic logics and other formalisms. Logic Programming has a great potential in these two emerging areas of research, as logic rules are easily comprehensible by humans, and favors causality which is crucial for ethical decision making . Anyway, in spite of the significant amount of interest that machine ethics has received over the last decade mainly from ethicists and artificial intelligence experts, the question "are artificial moral agents possible?" is still roaming around.There have been several attempts for implementing ethical decision making into intelligent autonomous agents using different approaches. But, so far, no fully descriptive and widely acceptable model of moral judgment and decision making exists. None of the developed solutions seem to be fully convincing to provide a trusted moral behavior. The same goes for explainability, in spite of the global concern about the explainability of the autonomous agents' behaviour, existing approaches do not seem to be satisfactory enough. There are many questions that remain open in these two exciting, expanding fields. This workshop aims to bring together researchers working in all aspects of machine ethics and explainability, including theoretical work, system implementations, and applications. The co-location of this workshop with ICLP is intended also to encourage more collaboration with researchers from different fields of logic programming.This workshop provides a forum to facilitate discussions regarding these topics and a productive exchange of ideas. Topics of interest include (but not limited to): • New approaches to programming machine ethics; • New approaches to explainability of blackbox models; • Evaluation and comparison of existing approaches; • Approaches to verification of ethical behavior; • Logic programming applications in machine ethics; • Integrating logic programing with methods for machine ethics; • Integrating logic programing with methods for explainability. 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 be formatted using the Springer LNCS style available here: • regular papers must not exceed 14 pages (including references) • extended abstract must not exceed 4 pages (excluding references) Authors are requested to clearly specify whether their submission is original or not with a footnote on the first page.

Nervi is a former fishing village, now a suburb of Genoa. Nervi is 7 km east of central Genova. Genova is the capital of Liguria, stretching along the bay of the same name from Nervi to the east as far as Voltri to the west. The pride of Nervi is the sea promenade, a 2 km walkway along the cliffs. The stunning views make it one of Italy's most beautiful promenades. Nervi is also well known for its Parchi, a park of about 22 acres (9 hectares) created from the gardens of the Villa Grimaldi, Villa Groppallo, and Villa Serra. It has typical Mediterranean plant species and many exotic species. Genova's old town district (reachable by local train, by bus, as well as by boat) is one of the largest in Europe, and hosts some remarkable artistic and architectural treasures, including the Palazzi dei Rolli, fifty or so homes of the aristocracy entered on the UNESCO World Heritage List. In addition to offering a wealth of cultural attractions, Genova is a fascinating destination for tourists, with its scenic vantage points, sea promenades, aristocratic villas and of course the Riviera to the east and west, both easy to reach: Portovenere and Le Cinque Terre (also UNESCO World Heritage Sites), Portofino and Camogli to the east and Alassio, Sanremo, Bordighera to the west. Associated events (workshops) are planned to be held at the University, which is in the city center of Genova. Of course, we will continuously monitor the pandemic situation in order to evaluate whether the conference can be indeed held as an in-person event, or we will need to switch to a hybrid event, if not completely on-line.

Best regards, Nathalie Hernandez and Cassia Trojahn *Context: Collaboration between IRIT and Airbus on the Digital Design, Manufacturing and Services Transformation project* Digital Design, Manufacturing and Services (DDMS) is the project that aims at transforming Airbus methods, processes and tools with the objectif of improving the strategic axes of the company: from the ability to develop a new product more quickly to its reduction of the ecological footprint. The issues of knowledge representation and sharing are at the heart of the capacities to be implemented in order to succeed in this development. In DDMS, the Modeling & Simulation department is therefore working to have the necessary foundations, in terms of methods and tools, for the knowledge representation and sharing, in relation with other Airbus entities in order to implement an industrial solution. *Description* As part of the development of DDMS capabilities in 2021, the tasks that are to be taken into account are the following : * to align different domain ontologies * to implement a domain ontology validation mechanism, particularly through the useof shape constraints (SHACL) * to enable the semantic integration of data (development of an Ontology Based Data Access service). For each task, the expected activities are: *  the application of knowledge representation to solve the problems of a pilot business application use case in the Airbus environment * the synthesis of a methodological approach and an architectural solution based on this casea generalized framework to respond to this problem in other areas by applying the methodological principles acquired and synthesized previously. The proposed pilot case is Flight Dynamics and Sizing, which is responsible, in conjunction with pre-projects and industrialization, for sizing the aircraft according to loads, mass, aerodynamic forces, flight controls in particular. It is expected to continue on themes such as: * Automatic publication of ontology documentation * Managing the criticality of data in ontologies * Reasoning in the service of extending data sets and checking the consistency of information * Semantic search in data Searching for ontologies in catalogs (notably using dcat) *Requirements for this position* Applicants are required to have a PhD in Computer Science, a strong background in semantic web technologies, ontology engineering, linked data management and query, and if possible, in ontology alignment. Fluency in written / spoken English is required too. A good publication record and strong programing skills will be a plus. *Work environment* Localization : Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse (IRIT) – Universite Toulouse - Jean Jaures / Maison de la Recherche, 5, allees Antonio Machado 31058 Toulouse, and Airbus (St Martin du Touch). *Duration* : 9 months, starting ASAP - probability of renewal 9 to 12 months. Salary between 2 663 to 3953 (depending on experience). *How to apply* Applications will be accepted until the position is closed. Applicants should send a full Curriculum including a complete list of publications, a cover letter indicating their research interests, achievements to date and vision for the future, as well as either support letters or the name of 2 persons that have worked with them.

Offensive security has changed from a hobby to an industry. No longer an exercise for isolated enthusiasts, offensive security is today a large-scale operation managed by organized, capitalized actors. Meanwhile, the landscape has shifted: software used by millions is built by startups less than a year old, delivered on mobile phones and surveilled by national signals intelligence agencies. In the field's infancy, offensive security research was conducted separately by industry, independent hackers, or in academia. Collaboration between these groups was difficult. Since 2007, the Workshop on Offensive Technologies (WOOT) has been bringing those communities together. * Symposium Topics * Computer security exposes the differences between the actual mechanisms of everyday trusted technologies and their models used by developers, architects, academic researchers, owners, operators, and end users. While being inherently focused on practice, security also poses questions such as "what kind of computations are and aren't trusted systems capable of?" which harken back to fundamentals of computability. State-of-the-art offense explores these questions pragmatically, gathering material for generalizations that lead to better models and more trustworthy systems. WOOT provides a forum for high-quality, peer-reviewed work discussing tools and techniques for attacks. Submissions should reflect the state of the art in offensive computer security technology, exposing poorly understood mechanisms, presenting novel attacks, highlighting the limitations of published attacks and defenses, or surveying the state of offensive operations at scale. WOOT '22 accepts papers in both an academic security context and more applied work that informs the field about the state of security practice in offensive techniques. The goal for these submissions is to produce published works that will guide future work in the field. Submissions will be peer reviewed and shepherded as appropriate. Submission topics include, but are not limited to, attacks on and offensive research into: - Hardware, including software-based exploitation of hardware vulnerabilities - Virtualization and the cloud - Network and distributed systems - Operating systems - Browser and general client-side security (runtimes, JITs, sandboxing) - Application security - Analysis of mitigations and automating how they can be bypassed - Automating software testing such as fuzzing for novel targets - Internet of Things - Machine Learning - Cyber-physical systems - Privacy - Cryptographic systems (practical attacks on deployed systems) - Malware design, implementation and analysis - Offensive applications of formal methods (solvers, symbolic execution) * Workshop Format * The presenters will be authors of accepted papers. There will also be a keynote speaker and a selection of invited speakers. WOOT '22 will feature a Best Paper Award and a Best Student Paper Award. Note that WOOT'22 and other IEEE S&P workshops are planned to be held in person, see the IEEE S&P website for details and updates. * Regular Submission* WOOT '22 welcomes submissions without restrictions of origin. Submissions from academia, independent researchers, students, hackers, and industry are welcome. Are you planning to give a cool talk at Black Hat in August? Got something interesting planned for other non-academic venues later this year? This is exactly the type of work we'd like to see at WOOT '22. Please submit -- it will also give you a chance to have your work reviewed and to receive suggestions and comments from some of the best researchers in the world. More formal academic offensive security papers are also very welcome. * Systemization of Knowledge * Continuing the tradition of past years, WOOT '22 will be accepting "Systematization of Knowledge" (SoK) papers. The goal of an SoK paper is to encourage work that evaluates, systematizes, and contextualizes existing knowledge. These papers will prove highly valuable to our community but would not be accepted as refereed papers because they lack novel research contributions. Suitable papers include survey papers that provide useful perspectives on major research areas, papers that support or challenge long-held beliefs with compelling evidence, or papers that provide an extensive and realistic evaluation of competing approaches to solving specific problems. Be sure to select "Systematization of Knowledge paper" in the submissions system to distinguish it from other paper submissions. * Submission Requirements * Paper submission deadline: Thursday, January 27, 2022, 11:59 AoE (Anywhere on Earth) Notification date: Thursday, February 27, 2022 Camera-ready paper deadline: Tuesday, March 8, 2022 Workshop date: Thursday, May 26, 2022 Please submit your paper at https://woot22.secpriv.tuwien.ac.at/woot22/paper/new * What to Submit * Submissions must be in PDF format. Papers should be succinct but thorough in presenting the work. The contribution needs to be well motivated, clearly exposed, and compared to the state of the art. Typical research papers are at least 4 pages, and maximum 10 pages long (not counting bibliography and appendix). Yet, papers whose lengths are incommensurate with their contributions will be rejected. The submission should be formatted in 2-columns, using 10-point Times Roman type on 12-point leading, in a text block of 6.5” x 9”. Please number the pages. Authors must use the IEEE templates, for LaTeX papers this is IEEETran.cls version 1.8b. Submissions are double blind: submissions should be anonymized and avoid obvious self-references (authors are allowed to release technical reports and present their work elsewhere such as at DefCon or BlackHat). Submit papers using the submission form. Authors of accepted papers will have to provide a paper for the proceedings following the above guidelines. A shepherd may be assigned to ensure the quality of the proceedings version of the paper. If your paper should not be published prior to the event, please notify the chairs. Submissions accompanied by non-disclosure agreement forms will not be considered. Accepted submissions will be treated as confidential prior to publication on the WOOT '22 website; rejected submissions will be permanently treated as confidential. * Policies and Contact Information * Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple competing academic venues, submission of previously published work without substantial novel contributions, or plagiarism constitutes dishonesty or fraud may lead to instant or later rejecion. Note: Work presented by the authors at industry conferences, such as Black Hat, is not considered to have been "previously published" for the purposes of WOOT '22. We strongly encourage the submission of such work to WOOT '22, particularly work that is well suited to a more formal and complete treatment in a published, peer-reviewed setting. In your submission, please do note any previous presentations of the work. * Vulnerability Disclosure * If the submission describes, or otherwise takes advantage of, newly identified vulnerabilities (e.g., software vulnerabilities in a given program or design weaknesses in a hardware system) the authors should disclose these vulnerabilities to the vendors/maintainers of affected software or hardware systems prior to the CFP deadline. When disclosure is necessary, authors should include a statement within their submission and/or final paper about steps taken to fulfill the goal of disclosure. * Ethical Considerations * Submissions that describe experiments on human subjects, that analyze data derived from human subjects (even anonymized data), or that otherwise may put humans at risk should: - Disclose whether the research received an approval or waiver from each of the authors’ institutional ethics review boards (e.g., an IRB). - Discuss steps taken to ensure that participants and others who might have been affected by an experiment were treated ethically and with respect. - If a paper raises significant ethical or legal concerns, including in its handling of personally identifiable information (PII) or other kinds of sensitive data, it might be rejected based on these concerns.

In KR a fundamental assumption is that an agent's knowledge is explicitly represented in a declarative form, suitable for processing by dedicated reasoning engines. This assumption, that much of what an agent deals with is knowledge-based, is common in many modern intelligent systems. Consequently, KR has contributed to the theory and practice of various areas in AI, including automated planning and natural language understanding, and to fields beyond AI, including databases, verification, software engineering, and robotics. In recent years, KR has contributed also to new and emerging fields, including the semantic web, computational biology, cyber security, and the development of software agents. The KR conference series is the leading forum for timely in-depth presentation of progress in the theory and principles underlying the representation and computational management of knowledge. ** IMPORTANT DATES ** * Submission of title and abstract: February 2, 2022 * Paper submission deadline: February 9, 2022 * Author response period: March 29-31, 2022 * Author notification: April 15, 2022 * Camera-ready papers: May 7, 2022 * Conference: July 31 - August 5, 2022 ** SCOPE ** We solicit papers presenting novel results on the principles of KR that clearly contribute to the formal foundations of relevant problems or show the applicability of results to implemented or implementable systems. We also welcome papers from other areas that show clear use of, or contributions to, the principles or practice of KR.

Papers must be submitted in PDF format, through the EasyChair conference system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kr2022 For the main conference track and additional tracks/sessions (except for the Recently Published Research track), we invite - Full papers of up to 9 pages, including abstract, figures, and appendices (if any), but excluding references and acknowledgements. - Short papers of up to 4 pages, excluding references and acknowledgements. Both full and short papers must describe original, previously unpublished research, and must not simultaneously be submitted for publication elsewhere. These restrictions do not apply to previously accepted workshop papers with a limited audience and/or without archival proceedings, and to papers uploaded at public repositories (e.g., arXiv). Authors may optionally submit a separate PDF containing additional information that substantiates the claims made in their paper, such as proof details, additional experimental results, further details on experimental design, etc. If authors wish to make such material available to reviewers, they should do so by submitting a file through EasyChair, rather than by including links or references in their paper. The main paper must be self-contained, as the supplementary material will not be published. Reviewers will have the option, but not the obligation, to consult the supplementary material. The preceding submission guidelines apply to the main track, as well as to the Applications and Systems track, the KR & Machine Learning special session, and the KR & Robotics special session. Different submission guidelines apply to the Recently Published Research track, workshops, tutorials, and the Doctoral Consortium, which will be announced separately. ** CONFERENCE CHAIRS ** General Chair: Gerhard Lakemeyer (RWTH Aachen University, Germany) Program Chairs: Gabriele Kern-Isberner (TU Dortmund, Germany) Thomas Meyer (University of Cape Town and CAIR, South Africa) Workshop and Tutorial Chairs: Stefan Borgwardt (TU Dresden, Germany) Maria Vanina Martinez (University of Oxford, UK) Applications & Systems Track Chairs: Alessandro Antonucci (IDSIA, Switzerland ) Matthias Thimm (University of Hagen, Germany) Special Session on KR & Machine Learning Chairs: Steven Schockaert (Cardiff University, UK) Fabio Cozman (University of Sao Paulo, Brazil) Special Session on KR & Robotics Chairs: Gabriella Cortellessa (National Research Council, Italy) Enrico Motta (The Open University, UK) Recently Published Research Track Chairs: Ivan Varzinczak (Université d’Artois and CRIL, France) Sebastian Rudolph (TU Dresden, Germany) Doctoral Consortium Chairs: Giovanni Casini (ISTI - CNR Pisa, Italy) Jandson Santos Ribeiro Santos (University of Hagen, Germany) Local Chair: Ofer Arieli (Academic College of Tel Aviv-Yaffo, Israel Sponsorship Chairs: Martin Homola (Comenius University of Bratislava, Slovakia) Vladislav Ryzhikov Birkbeck (University of London, UK) Publicity Chairs: Elena Botoeva (University of Kent, UK) Jesse Heyninck (TU Dortmund, Germany, and University of Cape Town and CAIR, South Africa) Marco Wilhelm (TU Dortmund, Germany) Diversity and Inclusion Chairs: Renata Wassermann (University of Sao Paulo, Brazil) Yazmin Ibanez-Garcia (Cardiff University, UK) Abhaya Nayak (Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia) Wichtiger Hinweis: Die Information in dieser E-Mail ist vertraulich.

ACM HT - Hypertext and Social Media conference - is a premium venue for high-quality peer-reviewed research on hypertext theory, systems and applications. It is concerned with all aspects of modern hypertext research including social media, linked open data and knowledge graphs, information exploration and visualisation, dynamic and computed hypermedia, as well applications for digital arts, culture, and humanities. ACM HT is sponsored by ACM SIGWEB. The proceedings are published by the ACM and will be part of the ACM Digital Library. Tracks: ================== HT 2022 will explore, study and shape a broad range of dimensions faced by modern hypertext studies, covering the following tracks chaired by leading researchers: * Social web content, language and network (chair: Marcelo Armentano) * Digital humanities, culture and society (chair: Jessica Rubart) * Information exploration and visualisation (chair: Claus Atzenbeck) * Personalized recommender systems (chairs: Markus Zanker, Eva Zangerle, Osnat Mokryn) Submissions: ================== HT 2022 will include high-quality peer-reviewed papers related to the above key areas. Maintaining the high quality and impact of the HT series, each paper will have three reviews by program committee members and a meta-review presenting the reviewers' consensual view; the review process will be coordinated by the program chairs in collaboration with the corresponding area chairs. * Peer reviewed, original, and principled research papers addressing both the theory and practice of HT and papers showcasing innovative use of HT and exploring the benefits and challenges of applying HT technology in real-life applications and contexts are welcome. Papers should present original reports of substantive new research techniques, findings, and applications of HT. They should place the work within the field and clearly indicate innovative aspects. Research procedures and technical methods should be presented in sufficient detail to ensure scrutiny and reproducibility. Results should be clearly communicated and implications of the contributions/findings for HT and beyond should be explicitly discussed. * Length: Papers should be at most 14 pages and will be reviewed according to the presented contributions. In other words, we don’t have a distinct category for short papers, which means that papers, no matter what page length, will be reviewed according to the same criteria. Publication: ================== Accepted papers will be published by ACM and will be available via the ACM Digital Library. Extended versions of selected papers presented at the conference could be selected to appear in different special issues in international journals according to the specific tracks (see the web site for details). At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper there. Submission details will appear soon.

The objective of the LPNMR workshop program is to stimulate the discussion and the exchange of ideas on topics related, but not limited, to declarative logic programming, non-monotonic reasoning, and knowledge representation. We aim at creating a forum where researchers from a broad spectrum of disciplines may interact and have an opportunity to promote collaboration and identify directions for joint future research. Accordingly, we solicit workshop proposals on theoretical and applied research topics. Workshop proposals should explain and motivate the topic of the workshop, and discuss the format of presentation of the contributes. Workshops will likely be half-day or one-day in duration, but we may consider longer programs. DATES    * Workshop proposals submissions: February 25th, 2022    * Workshop proposals notifications: March 7th, 2022    * Workshop program: September 5th, 2022 (tentative date) SUBMISSION  Proposals must be submitted via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=lpnmrws2022  Proposals should clearly specify the following:    * Workshop title and acronym    * A brief description, emphasizing why this workshop would appeal to      audiences from LPNMR    * A list of organizers with email addresses, web page URLs, and a short      description of their experience in organizing events    * A short description of the format of planned activities (talks, posters,      panels, invited speakers if any, etc.)    * The proposed duration (half day, one day, etc.)    * A description of the history of the workshop (if any)    * Expected number of participants VENUE Workshops are planned to be held at the University, which is in the city center of Genova. Genova is the capital of Liguria, stretching along the bay of Genova from Nervi to the east as far as Voltri to the west. Its old town district is one of the largest in Europe, and hosts some remarkable artistic and architectural treasures, including the Palazzi dei Rolli, fifty or so homes of the aristocracy entered on the UNESCO World Heritage List. In addition to offering a wealth of cultural attractions, Genova is a fascinating destination for tourists, with its scenic vantage points, sea promenades, aristocratic villas and of course the Riviera to the east and west, both easy to reach: Portovenere and Le Cinque Terre (also UNESCO World Heritage Sites), Portofino and Camogli to the east and Alassio, Sanremo, Bordighera to the west. The main conference will take place in Genova Nervi, Italy, in the Collegio Emiliani (http://www.collegioemiliani.it/, information available only in Italian on this link), which is a college directly situated on the sea. Nervi is a former fishing village, now a suburb of Genoa. Nervi is 7 km east of central Genova. Of course, we will continuously monitor the pandemic situation in order to evaluate whether the conference can be indeed held as an in-person event, or we will need to switch to a hybrid event, if not completely on-line.
