Call for Papers

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

Workshop description

Real-world applications are increasingly fed by large-scale, multi-source, heterogeneous information and 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.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Languages for heterogeneous information representation
Data completion
Mapping heterogeneous data to KR languages
Defeasible reasoning
Merging heterogeneous information
Inconsistency handling
Uncertainty reasoning
Graphical models
Query-answering based on heterogeneous data
Knowledge Representation and Machine Learning
Similarity measures and clustering
Explainability
Applications: urban networks data, access control, etc.

Submission Guidelines:

We accept three kinds of submissions:

Full research papers (9 pages)
Short research papers (4 pages)
Extended abstract (2 pages)

The page limits have to be intended excluding bibliography and acknowledgments.

All papers must be formatted using the KR style, that can be downloaded from the KR website (https://kr.org/KR2023/submission-guidelines/). Papers must be submitted in PDF only.

Please submit via Easychair to:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=enigma2023

Papers already published or accepted for publication at other 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.

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.
