ACM UMAP  is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI and SIGWEB. User Modeling Inc., as the core Steering Committee, oversees the conference organization. The proceedings, published by ACM, will be part of the ACM Digital Library. The theme of UMAP 2023 is "Personalization in Times of Crisis”. Specifically, we welcome submissions that highlight the impact that critical periods (such as the COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing wars, and climate change, to name a few) can have on user modeling, personalization, and adaptation of (intelligent) systems; the focus is on investigations that capture how these trying times may have influenced user behavior and whether new models are required.  While we encourage submissions related to this theme, the scope of the conference is not limited to the theme only. As always, contributions from academia, industry, and other organizations discussing open challenges or novel research approaches are expected to be supported by rigorous evidence appropriate to the claims (e.g., user study, system evaluation, computational analysis). IMPORTANT DATES • Paper Abstracts: January 19, 2023 (mandatory) • Full paper: January 26, 2023 • Notification: April 11, 2023 • Camera-ready: May 2, 2023 • Conference: June 26 - 29, 2023 Note: The submissions deadlines are at 11:59 pm AoE time (Anywhere on Earth) CONFERENCE TOPICS We welcome submissions related to user modeling, personalization, and adaptation of (intelligent) systems targeting a broad range of users and domains. For detailed descriptions and the suggested topics for each track please visit the UMAP 2023 website. Personalized Recommender Systems This track invites works from researchers and practitioners on recommender systems. In addition to mature research works addressing technical aspects of recommendations, we welcome research contributions that address questions related to user perception, decision-making, and the business value of recommender systems. Knowledge Graphs, Semantics, Social and Adaptive Web This track welcomes works focused on the use of knowledge representations (i.e., novel knowledge bases), graph algorithms (i.e., graph embedding techniques), and social network analysis at the service of addressing all aspects of personalization, user model building, and personal experience in online social systems. Moreover, this track invites works in adaptive hypermedia, as well as semantic and social web. Intelligent User Interfaces This track invites works exploring how to make the interaction between computers and people smarter and more productive, leveraging solutions from human-computer interaction, data mining, natural language processing, information visualization, and knowledge representation and reasoning. Personalizing Learning Experiences through User Modeling This track invites researchers, developers, and practitioners from various disciplines to submit their innovative learning solutions, share acquired experiences, and discuss their modeling challenges for personalized adaptive learning. Responsibility, Compliance, and Ethics Researchers, developers, and practitioners have a social responsibility to account for the impact that technologies have on individuals (users, providers, and other stakeholders) and society. This track invites works related to the science of building, maintaining, evaluating, and studying adaptive systems that are fair, transparent, respectful of users’ privacy, and beneficial to society. Personalization for Persuasive and Behavior Change Systems This track invites submissions focused on personalization and tailoring for persuasive technologies, including but not limited to personalization models, user models, computational personalization, design, and evaluation methods. It also welcomes work that brings attention to the user experience and designing personalized and adaptive behavior change technologies. Virtual Assistants, Conversational Interactions, and Personalized Human-robot Interaction This track invites works investigating new models and techniques for adapting synthetic companions (e.g., virtual assistants, chatbots, social robots) to individual users. With the conversational modality so in vogue across disciplines, this track welcomes work highlighting the model and deployment of synthetic companions driven by conversational search and recommendation paradigms. Research Methods and Reproducibility This track invites submissions on methodologies to evaluate personalized systems, benchmarks, and measurement scales, with particular attention to the reproducibility of results and techniques. Furthermore, the track looks for submissions that report new insights from reproducing existing works.  SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS Submissions for any of the aforementioned tracks should have a maximum length of *14 pages* (excluding references) in the ACM new single-column format (https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template).

In the case that several workshop proposals have very similar objectives and scopes, a merge of overlapping workshops may be recommended. The topics covered by a workshop should not overlap with the main topics of the conference. Decisions will be made on a rolling basis. Proposals can already be sent, and the organizers may be notified before the notification deadline in case of a strong proposal. Workshop Organizer Responsibilities • Preparing the call for papers for the workshop and publicizing it • Preparing and maintaining the workshop Web site including the relevant sections according to the organization guidelines • Selecting the workshop program committee considering that each member of the committee should make at least one review • Selecting papers through a rigorous peer-review process including at least three reviews per submission using the provided EasyChair installation and considering the possible conflicts of interest • Delivering the final workshop program to the Euro-Par 2023 conference co-chairs in time • Delivering the preliminary workshop proceedings in time before the conference • Providing the Euro-Par Steering Committee with a Management Report, after the conference, with key indicators such as: number of submitted and accepted papers, program committee and review process management • Delivering the final workshop proceedings with a revised version of the papers in time after the conference in the required Springer LNCS format (12 pages max.) and writing a preface to the workshop. Camera-ready papers will be published only if the management report has been delivered • Short papers can be accepted and presented at the workshop. However, to be included in the formal Springer proceedings, the minimum length is of 10 pages per paper • Registering for the conference • Meet the deadlines according to the organization guidelines Workshop Proceedings and Paper Review The workshop proceedings will be published in a separate LNCS workshop volume after the conference. The principal coordinator of each workshop will appear as co-editor of the workshop volume. Registered workshop participants will receive an electronic copy of the volume by email. All authors of accepted papers will be requested to sign a Springer copyright form. The Euro-Par organizers will provide an EasyChair setup for all Euro-Par 2023 workshops, and its use is mandatory to facilitate paper submissions, reviewing, and collecting the camera-ready versions. The workshop papers will not be published in the proceedings otherwise. Each workshop will be an independent track within the Workshops' EasyChair installation, but it will be fully manageable by the respective organizers. Papers of less than 10 pages will be considered as short papers that can be presented at the conference but not published in the proceedings. MINISYMPOSIA A minisymposium is a session of coordinated presentations for promoting interdisciplinary communication on a topic of current interest and importance in the field of parallel and distributed computing, ideally having potential application in other domains. The length and program will be decided by the organizers; half-day (three-hour) minisymposia are very welcome, longer is possible, not exceeding one day (6 hours). The contributions to the minisymposia will not be published in the proceedings. Minisymposium Proposal Guidelines The proposals should include the following information: • Minisymposium title and acronym, preference for length (half or full-day) • Information of the organizers (full name, affiliation, country and email address), including a short biography of each organizer (5-10 lines). Each minisymposium will have a single main organizer, the corresponding contact. Others can be co-organizers. • Motivation and scope of the minisymposium: * Problem area to be addressed by the speakers and possible applications [max 1500 characters]; * Description of target audience and estimated number of participants [max 1500 characters] * Link to international projects/initiatives • Format (contributed papers, invited talks, panels, posters or any other kind of activity including European project meetings), • Speakers: * a tentative list of speakers detailing their names, affiliation, email address and title of their presentations. Nominated speakers should be approached in advance and should have agreed that they will participate. * companies and/or institutions involved Minisymposium Selection Process All the submitted proposals will be assessed by the organizing committee. The decision about the acceptance/rejection of a minisymposium proposal will be made on the basis of the overall quality of the proposal and the degree to which it matches the scope of the conference. Overlapping minisymposia will be avoided (or possibly merged). Decisions will be made on a rolling basis. Proposals can already be sent, and the organizers may be notified before the notification deadline. Minisymposium Organizer Responsibilities Minisymposium organizers will be in charge of making publicity of the minisymposium and specify the number of talks and other activities. The contributions will be sent to the same web page as the contributions for the workshops. The review process will be decided by the minisymposium organizers. One of the organizers will be the contact with the conference organization. The responsibilities are as follows: • Preparing the call for papers for the workshop and publicizing it • Preparing and maintaining the minisymposium website mentioning the Euro-Par vinculation • Deciding the length of the minisymposium, the program and type of activities and the names of the speakers • Use the provided EasyChair installation for receiving the contributions • Delivering the program to the Euro-Par 2023 conference co-chairs in time • Providing the Euro-Par Steering Committee with a Management Report, after the conference, summarizing the experience and including number of persons involved in the activities as well as any consideration useful for future editions • Registering for the conference as well as all the participants to the minisymposium • Meet the deadlines according to the organization guidelines Minisymposium publication The contributions to the minisymposia will not be published in the proceedings. However, the organizers are invited to send one non-compulsory 4-page summary of the minisymposium. The document should summarize the scientific discussion promoted by the minisymposium and it will be published in the same LNCS volume as the workshop proceedings after the conference. The authors of the summary will be requested to sign a Springer copyright form. SUBMISSION (for Workshop and Minisymposium Organizers) Workshop and Minisymposium proposals should be sent in PDF format via email to the workshop co-chairs (contact details at the end of this call). An email verification will be sent to each successful submission. In case the verification is not received, submitters are asked to contact the workshop chairs.

This special issue is related to the 2022 edition of the Software Language Engineering Conference (https://2022.splashcon.org/home/sle-2022?) but **it is open to all authors.** Details follow. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Journal of Systems and Software Software Language Engineering Special Issue Guest Editors ● Lola Burgueño, University of Malaga, Spain ● Walter Cazzola, Professor, Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy ● Dimitris Kolovos, Professor, University of York, United Kingdom Special issue information: With the ubiquity of computers, software has become the dominating intellectual asset of our time. In turn, this software depends on software languages, namely the languages it is written in, the languages used to describe its environment, and the languages driving its development process. Given that everything depends on software and that software depends on software languages, it seems fair to say that for many years to come, everything will depend on software languages. Software language engineering (SLE) is the discipline of engineering languages and their tools required for the creation of software. It abstracts from the differences between programming languages, modeling languages, and other software languages, and emphasizes the engineering facet of the creation of such languages, that is, the establishment of the scientific methods and practices that enable the best results. While SLE is certainly driven by its meta-circular character (software languages are engineered using software languages), SLE is not self-satisfying: its scope extends to the engineering of languages for all and everything. This special issue will represent a further step in identification, definition and tooling of software languages. Topics of interest related to the special issue, but are not limited to: ● Software Language Design and Implementation ○ Approaches to and methods for language design ○ Static semantics (e.g. design rules, well-formedness constraints) ○ Techniques for specifying behavioral / executable semantics ○ Generative approaches (incl. code synthesis, compilation) ○ Meta-languages, meta-tools, language workbenches ● Software Language Validation ○ Verification and formal methods for languages ○ Testing techniques for languages ○ Simulation techniques for languages ● Software Language Integration and Composition ○ Coordination of heterogeneous languages and tools ○ Mappings between languages (incl. transformation languages) ○ Traceability between languages ○ Deployment of languages to different platforms ● Software Language Maintenance ○ Software language reuse ○ Language evolution ○ Language families and variability, language and software product lines ○ Domain-specific approaches for any aspects of SLE (design, implementation, validation, maintenance) ● Empirical evaluation and experience reports of language engineering tools ○ User studies evaluating usability ○ Performance benchmarks ○ Industrial applications ● Synergies between Language Engineering and emerging/promising research areas ○ AI and ML language engineering (e.g., ML compiler testing, code classification) ○ Quantum language engineering (e.g., language design for quantum machines) ● Language engineering for physical systems (e.g., CPS, IoT, digital twins) ○ Socio-technical systems and language engineering (e.g., language evolution to adapt to social requirements) Manuscript submission information: Proposed Dates and Outcomes ● Submission: 15 February 2023 ● Notification to authors (first round): 15 April 2023 ● Submission of revised papers (second round): 15 June 2023 ● Notification to authors (second round): 15 August 2023 ● Submission after second review: 15 October 2023 ● Final acceptance: 15 November 2023 ● Date of publication: 15 December 2023 Submission Guidelines The call for this special issue is an open call. We invite innovative research with a sound scientific or technological basis and validation. We accept submissions of original and previously unpublished manuscripts and we especially encourage the submission of revised and extended papers from the 15th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE 2022). If a previous version of the manuscript has been published in a conference or journal, then authors must explicitly explain the novelty of this new submission and provide at least 30% new material. Surveys, literature reviews and mapping studies would not be considered as part of this special issue. All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through the Elsevier Editorial System at https://www.editorialmanager.com/jssoftware/default1.aspx. Follow the submission instructions given on this site. During the submission process, select the article type "VSI:SLE" from the "Choose Article Type" pull-down menu. All submissions must adhere to the general principles of the Journal of Systems and Software articles. Submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors, available on the journal website, and must follow the format specified in the JSS Guide for Authors https://www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-of-systems-and-software/0164-1212/guide-for-authors.

ACM UMAP  is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI and SIGWEB. User Modeling Inc., as the core Steering Committee, oversees the conference organization. The proceedings, published by ACM, will be part of the ACM Digital Library. The theme of UMAP 2023 is "Personalization in Times of Crisis”. Specifically, we welcome submissions that highlight the impact that critical periods (such as the COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing wars, and climate change, to name a few) can have on user modeling, personalization, and adaptation of (intelligent) systems; the focus is on investigations that capture how these trying times may have influenced user behavior and whether new models are required.  While we encourage submissions related to this theme, the scope of the conference is not limited to the theme only. As always, contributions from academia, industry, and other organizations discussing open challenges or novel research approaches are expected to be supported by rigorous evidence appropriate to the claims (e.g., user study, system evaluation, computational analysis). IMPORTANT DATES • Paper Abstracts: January 19, 2023 (mandatory) • Full paper: January 26, 2023 • Notification: April 11, 2023 • Camera-ready: May 2, 2023 • Conference: June 26 - 29, 2023 Note: The submissions deadlines are at 11:59 pm AoE time (Anywhere on Earth) CONFERENCE TOPICS We welcome submissions related to user modeling, personalization, and adaptation of (intelligent) systems targeting a broad range of users and domains. For detailed descriptions and the suggested topics for each track please visit the UMAP 2023 website. Personalized Recommender Systems This track invites works from researchers and practitioners on recommender systems. In addition to mature research works addressing technical aspects of recommendations, we welcome research contributions that address questions related to user perception, decision-making, and the business value of recommender systems. Knowledge Graphs, Semantics, Social and Adaptive Web This track welcomes works focused on the use of knowledge representations (i.e., novel knowledge bases), graph algorithms (i.e., graph embedding techniques), and social network analysis at the service of addressing all aspects of personalization, user model building, and personal experience in online social systems. Moreover, this track invites works in adaptive hypermedia, as well as semantic and social web. Intelligent User Interfaces This track invites works exploring how to make the interaction between computers and people smarter and more productive, leveraging solutions from human-computer interaction, data mining, natural language processing, information visualization, and knowledge representation and reasoning. Personalizing Learning Experiences through User Modeling This track invites researchers, developers, and practitioners from various disciplines to submit their innovative learning solutions, share acquired experiences, and discuss their modeling challenges for personalized adaptive learning. Responsibility, Compliance, and Ethics Researchers, developers, and practitioners have a social responsibility to account for the impact that technologies have on individuals (users, providers, and other stakeholders) and society. This track invites works related to the science of building, maintaining, evaluating, and studying adaptive systems that are fair, transparent, respectful of users’ privacy, and beneficial to society. Personalization for Persuasive and Behavior Change Systems This track invites submissions focused on personalization and tailoring for persuasive technologies, including but not limited to personalization models, user models, computational personalization, design, and evaluation methods. It also welcomes work that brings attention to the user experience and designing personalized and adaptive behavior change technologies. Virtual Assistants, Conversational Interactions, and Personalized Human-robot Interaction This track invites works investigating new models and techniques for adapting synthetic companions (e.g., virtual assistants, chatbots, social robots) to individual users. With the conversational modality so in vogue across disciplines, this track welcomes work highlighting the model and deployment of synthetic companions driven by conversational search and recommendation paradigms. Research Methods and Reproducibility This track invites submissions on methodologies to evaluate personalized systems, benchmarks, and measurement scales, with particular attention to the reproducibility of results and techniques. Furthermore, the track looks for submissions that report new insights from reproducing existing works.  SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS Submissions for any of the aforementioned tracks should have a maximum length of *14 pages* (excluding references) in the ACM new single-column format (https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template). (Papers of any length up to 14 pages are encouraged; reviewers will comment on whether the size is appropriate for the contribution.)  The submission link is: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap23 . Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and presented at the conference. At least one author should register for the conference by the early registration date cut-off. UMAP uses a *double-blind* review process. Authors must omit their names and affiliations from their submissions; they should also avoid obvious identifying statements. For instance, citations to the authors' prior work should be in the third person. Submissions not abiding by anonymity requirements will be desk rejected.   UMAP has a *no dual submission* policy, which is why full paper submissions should not be currently under review at another publication venue.

They constitute a natural and seamless way for system modeling in science, engineering and beyond, including computer science, life sciences, business processes, etc. Graph computation models constitute a class of very high-level models where graphs are first-class citizens. They generalize classical computation models based on strings or trees, such as Chomsky grammars or term rewrite systems. Their mathematical foundation, in addition to their visual nature, facilitates specification, validation and analysis of complex systems. A variety of computation models have been developed using graphs and rule-based graph transformation. These models include features of programming languages and systems, paradigms for software development, concurrent calculi, local computations and distributed algorithms, and biological and chemical computations. The International Workshop on Graph Computation Models aims at bringing together researchers interested in all aspects of computation models based on graphs and graph transformation. It promotes the cross-fertilizing exchange of ideas and experiences among young and senior researchers from different communities who are interested in the foundations, applications, and implementations of graph computation models and related areas. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** IMPORTANT DATES ** Abstract Submission:    07 May 2023 Paper Submission:       14 May 2023 Notification:           12 June 2023 Final version due:      26 June 2023 Workshop:               18–21 July 2023 (exact day TBC) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** TOPICS ** GCM 2023 solicits papers on all aspects of graph computation models.

The event will be hosted by Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences (Germany) in close cooperation with HAN UAS (Arnhem, the Netherlands), Utrecht UAS (the Netherlands), and TU Wien (Austria). The workshop will be held on March 20-21, 2023. It will be a 'physical' event, so not hybrid. The attendance fee is 110,- EUR (Early bird: 90,- EUR) and covers participation, catering as well as the workshop dinner. More information on the event is provided on the respective web site: https://sites.google.com/view/s2i/home Objective The first European workshop on Research for Impact in Digital Innovation (RIDI) aims to bring together practitioners and researchers who are working in the area of digital innovation. Topics like Digital Transformation and Business Model Innovation are currently driving initiatives in industry; not only to introduce new technologies but also to gain significant business benefits. Hence, technology is not just seen as a means on its own but as one factor among others. Each digitally innovative project needs to incorporate the context of an organisation (market, customer segments) as well as its organisation and staff members. Challenges during such an endeavour are manifold. As a result, there is also an increased need in practice for more explicit guidance in terms of lessons learned, methods, approaches, principles, and design concepts. Developing, and operationalizing, such explicit guidance entails demand-driven research and education, requiring synergies between applied research and practice. It also sparks a need for effective research methods that balance real world needs and contexts with scientific rigour. In line with this, the workshop aims to provide a platform for individuals contributing to the development of explicit guidance for digital innovation by using research methods. This includes practitioners and academics, including researchers within the context of technical and applied sciences. The platform fosters exchange by discussing success stories and experiences from the field together with methodological approaches. It, furthermore, represents a trigger for shaping a research agenda together with corresponding methods in order to enable research in practice. Topics The workshop specifically addresses "researchers in practice" from various areas, including (but not limited to): computer science, business informatics, business information systems and enterprise architecture. Example topics are: · research and development (R&D) projects · lighthouse cases from applied science · meaning of "application" in terms of knowledge · methodological view incorporating "practice" as a first-class citizen · cases from practice "involving" research without "being" research · research happening without being scientific · applied science methodology · non-scientific R&D and how it meets science · targeted and structured literature review · design science and action design research Workshop schedule Day 1 (start 10:00h) · Get together (interactive workshop) · Cases and methods in research in practice (presentations) · Collecting ideas (workshop) · Workshop dinner "Frankfurt classics" Day 2 (end 16:00h) · Cases and methods in research in practice (presentations) · Shaping of research agenda for research in practice (workshop) Workshop organisation · Jürgen Jung, Frankfurt UAS, Germany (local organisation, contact) · Stijn Hoppenbrouwers, HAN UAS, Arnhem, the Netherlands (organisation) · Henderik Proper, TU Wien, Austria · Pascal Ravesteijn, Utrecht UAS, the Netherlands -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Cloud-native software is pervading the delivery of enterprise applications, as they are composed of (micro)services that can be independently developed and deployed by exploiting multiple heterogeneous technologies. Resulting applications are polyglot service compositions that can then be shipped in serverful or serverless platforms (e.g., using virtualization technologies). These characteristics make Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing the natural answers for fulfilling the industry’s need for flexibly scalable and maintainable enterprise applications, to be delivered through state-of-the-art methodologies, like DevOps. To further support this, researchers and practitioners 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, now also considering the Cloud-IoT computing continuum to exploit widespread adoption of smart connected things and the increasing growth of their computing capabilities. 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 goal of the workshop is to provide researchers with a venue to discuss models or techniques for tackling a variety of multi-agent optimization problems. We seek contributions in the general area of multi-agent optimization, including distributed optimization, coalition formation, optimization under uncertainty, winner determination algorithms in auctions and procurements, and algorithms to compute Nash and other equilibria in games. Of particular emphasis are contributions at the intersection of optimization and learning. See below for a (non-exhaustive) list of topics. This workshop invites works from different strands of the multi-agent systems community that pertain to the design of algorithms, models, and techniques to deal with multi-agent optimization and learning problems or problems that can be effectively solved by adopting a multi-agent framework. Topics The workshop organizers invite paper submissions on the following (and related) topics: - Optimization for learning (strategic and non-strategic) agents - Learning for multi-agent optimization problems - Distributed constraint satisfaction and optimization - Winner determination algorithms in auctions and procurements - Coalition or group formation algorithms - Algorithms to compute Nash and other equilibria in games - Optimization under uncertainty - Optimization with incomplete or dynamic input data - Algorithms for real-time applications - Cloud, distributed and grid computing - Applications of learning and optimization in societally beneficial domains - Multi-agent planning - Multi-robot coordination The workshop is of interest both to researchers investigating applications of multi-agent systems to optimization problems in large, complex domains, as well as to those examining optimization and learning problems that arise in systems comprised of many autonomous agents. In so doing, this workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers to discuss common issues that arise in solving optimization and learning problems in different areas, to introduce new application domains for multi-agent optimization techniques, and to elaborate common benchmarks to test solutions. Finally, the workshop will welcome papers that describe the release of benchmarks and data sets that can be used by the community to solve fundamental problems of interest, including in machine learning and optimization for health systems and urban networks, to mention but a few examples.

Aravanis) Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2023 21:00:04 +0200 Subject: [fg-arc] 20th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, KR 2023: Call for Papers Message-ID: <476b22a1ec9ee00054eb8a80b4b9bb2b@upatras.gr> 20th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, KR 2023 September 2 - September 8, 2023, Rhodes, Greece First Call for Papers Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR) is a well-established and lively field of research within Artificial Intelligence. KR builds on the fundamental thesis that knowledge can be represented in an explicit declarative form, suitable for processing by dedicated symbolic reasoning engines. This enables the exploitation of knowledge that would otherwise be implicit through semantically grounded inference mechanisms. Consequently, KR has contributed to the theory and practice of various areas in AI, including agents, automated planning and natural language processing, and to fields beyond AI, including data management, semantic web, verification, software engineering, robotics, computational biology, and cyber security. 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. KR 2023 will consist of a number of tracks and events: the Main Track, the Applications & Systems Track, the special session on KR & ML, the special session on KR, Robotics & Planning, the Recently Published Research (RPR) Track, the Tutorials & Workshops, the Doctoral Consortium, and the Diversity and Inclusion Session. Details about all these events will be made available later (possibly in separate calls). Contributions to the Main Track, the Applications & Systems Track, the special session on KR & ML, and the special session on KR, Robotics & Planning will take the form of papers that will be published in the proceedings of KR 2023. 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. We also encourage "reports from the field" of applications, experiments, developments, and tests. Further details about the submission guidelines and the selection criteria to be considered for the Applications & Systems Track, the special session on KR & ML, and the special session on KR, Robotics & Planning will be given later (possibly in separate calls). Submission Guidelines The Main Track, the Applications & Systems Track, as well as the special session on KR & ML and the special session on KR, Robotics & Planning will allow contributions of both regular papers (up to 9 pages) and short papers (up to 4 pages), including abstract, figures, and appendices (if any) but excluding references and acknowledgements, prepared and submitted according to the authors guidelines provided in the submission page. 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, or to papers uploaded at public repositories (e.g., arXiv). Papers must be written in English and formatted using the style files provided in the submission page. Submissions are not anonymous (i.e., reviewing will be single-blind) and must be submitted in PDF format, through the EasyChair conference system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kr2023 The paper title, author names, contact details, and a brief abstract must be submitted electronically through the EasyChair conference system by the abstract submission deadline. It will be possible to make minor edits to the title and abstract until the full paper submission deadline. Submissions with "placeholder" abstracts will be removed without consideration. Full papers must be submitted through the same site by the paper submission deadline. The list of author names provided at submission time is final. Authors may not be added to, or removed from, papers following submission. 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. Selection Process The program committee consists of PC members (reviewers) and Area Chairs (ACs), who overview the reviewing and meta-reviewing process. Selection criteria include the novelty and originality of ideas, correctness, clarity, significance of results, potential impact and quality of the presentation. Papers violating the format (e.g., by decreasing margins or font sizes) or describing contributions that do not significantly meet the topics of the conference will be desk rejected by the program chairs, without any opportunity to submit an author response. By submitting a paper, authors acknowledge that they are aware of the possibility of receiving a summary rejection notification. Papers that are not desk rejected will be reviewed by a group of PC members (PCs) and the reviewing process will be supervised by an Area Chair (AC). The review process will include the opportunity for authors to respond to the reviews by pointing out factual errors in the reviews and answering specific questions by the reviewers. Author responses should be concise, and are not intended to create a dialogue between reviewers and authors. Author responses will be visible to PCs and ACs. The final decisions will be made by the program co-chairs. There will be no appeal for the decisions made. Accepted papers will be published in the KR 2023 proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to participate in the conference and present the work. Prizes for best papers (the Ray Reiter Best Paper Prize and the Marco Cadoli Best Student Paper Prize) will be possibly awarded, and runners-up will be possibly pointed out.
