==============================

     1st Workshop on AI-driven heterogeneous data management : 
Completing, merging, handling inconsistencies and query-answering 
(ENIGMA)
         https://sites.google.com/view/enigma-2023


ENIGMA 2023 is co-located with the 20th International Conference on 
Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR 2023)
https://kr.org/KR2023/.

Real-world applications are increasingly fed by large-scale, 
multi-source, heterogeneous information/data. This concerns private 
companies as well as public institutions. Urban networks are a typical 
example of applications that need to manage considerable amounts of 
heterogenous data. Heterogeneity relates to the presence of different 
data forms and formats, such as digital images, structured and 
unstructured files, analog maps, incomplete and unreliable data, etc.

Alongside the notion of data, there are also constraints, knowledge and 
preferences that are often under-exploited in real-world applications. 
In order to process and manage such heterogeneous data and information, 
it is important to identify the relevant elements in each data source, 
to detect them and finally represent them in a common format that can be 
easily queried.

The objective of this workshop is to bridge fundamental research in 
knowledge representation and reasoning with applied research. The aim is 
to encourage the emergence of novel solutions for representing, 
combining, classifying, clustering, integrating domain knowledge, 
repairing, explaining and querying data/information of different nature.

The workshop will be held in Rhodes, Greece, between the 2nd and the 4th 
September 2023 (date TBD). Workshop activities will include one invited 
talk and presentations of technical papers.

-- Submission Information --

We accept three kinds of submissions:

- full papers: 9 pages at most
- short papers: 4 pages at most
- long abstracts 2 pages at most

The page limits have to be intended excluding bibliography and 
acknowledgments.
All papers must be formatted using the KR style, that can be downloaded

conferences are also welcome, provided that the original publication is 
mentioned in a footnote on the first page and the submission at ENIGMA 
2023 falls within the authors’ rights. In the same vein, papers under 
review for other conferences can be submitted with a similar indication 
on their front page.


-- Workshop Proceedings --

The accepted papers will be at least published online as a technical 
report. Depending on the number of accepted papers we intend to:

- Publish the proceedings in the CEUR Workshop Proceedings series 
(http://ceur-ws.org/). The copyright of papers would remain with the 
authors.
- Organise a Journal special issue.
