============================ 

14th International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems (FOIS 2024)


15-19 July 2024 (Enschede, Netherlands) - 08-09 July 2024 (online)

Website: https://www.utwente.nl/en/eemcs/fois2024/ 


Call for Ontology Showcase, Demonstrations, Journal-First papers

Submission deadlines (extended): 27 April 2024


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

Call for Ontology Showcase 

Submission deadline: 17 April 2024 27 April 2024

Webpage: https://www.utwente.nl/en/eemcs/fois2024/calls/showcase/

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


The Ontology Showcase at FOIS gives authors the opportunity to increase the impact of their work, get early feedback from the community on ongoing work, and promote the sharing and the reuse of curated high-quality ontologies.


Differentiation from the Main Track

If an ontology is the result of a mature work and provides a solid scientific contribution in terms of, e.g., requirements, foundational issues, methodology, design choices, application or evaluation, then it is suitable to be submitted to the domain ontology track of the main conference as a full research paper (max 14 pages) that will be published by IOS Press.   


The ontology showcase is a practical track aimed at stimulating the community to share their ontologies, make them more visible and get (early) feedback, even if their development is still an ongoing or early work that does not provide a mature scientific contribution suitable to be submitted (yet) to the main track.


Submission types

Ontology showcase submissions may take either of two forms:

  • Short papers (5-9 pages, including bibliography)

  • Full papers (10-14 pages, including bibliography)

Accepted papers will be published in a joint CEUR proceedings volume in the IAOA series, together with those of the Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO) and other events collocated with FOIS 2024.


Important dates

  • Paper submission (extended): 17 April 2024 27 April 2024

  • Notification of acceptance: 15 May 2024

  • Author registration: 03 June 2024

  • Online conference: 08-09 July 2024

  • Onsite conference (Enschede): 15-19 July 2024

  • Camera-ready version: 30 July 2024

Call for Demonstrations

Submission deadline: 17 April 2024 27 April 2024

Website: https://www.utwente.nl/en/eemcs/fois2024/calls/demos/#definition-and-scope

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


The demonstration track complements FOIS 2024 full-length paper main tracks by offering an interactive platform for authors to present and discuss their work. We invite demonstrations of tools and methods developed using ontologies, as well as those to create, maintain, integrate, publish, evaluate, and implement ontologies. We also invite demonstrations of novel ontology (anti)patterns and of challenges arising in the ontology engineering life cycle. The goal is to raise the visibility and foster understanding of the dynamic, integrative, and use-oriented aspects of applied ontology, its tools, and its uses.


We encourage the demonstrations of software tools, patterns, methods, and languages reported in papers accepted for the main tracks. For example, a novel ontology engineering method proposed in a full-length paper in the Application and Methods track can be complemented by demonstrating the method.


Demonstration submissions may take either of two forms:

  • Short papers (5-9 pages, including bibliography)

  • Full papers (10-14 pages, including bibliography).

Accepted papers will be published in a joint CEUR proceedings volume in the IAOA series, together with those of the Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO) and other events collocated with FOIS 2024.


Important dates

  • Submissions due (extended): 17 April 2024 27 April 2024

  • Notifications of acceptance: 15 May 2024

  • Onsite Conference: 15-19 July 2024

  • Online conference: 08-09 July 2024

  • Camera-ready versions due: 30 July 2024

Call for Journal-first 

Submission deadline: 17 April 2024 27 April 2024

Webpage: https://www.utwente.nl/en/eemcs/fois2024/calls/journal-first/ 

============================ 

 

The FOIS 2024 journal-first track provides a forum to discuss recent published research on topics related to formal ontology for broader dissemination within the FOIS community. The track invites submissions of extended abstracts of papers that have appeared or have been accepted for publication in journals, but have not been previously presented at FOIS or any other applied ontology-focused conference, including ICBO, ISWC, ESWC, K-CAP, and all JOWO workshops.

Copyright permitting, accepted abstracts to the track (or shortened versions) will be published in the conference proceedings for FOIS satellite events within the IAOA series at CEUR-WS. In addition, they will be presented during the conference (either on-site or online). Accepted papers to the track will be linked to the conference website. 

Expected contributions

For the journal-first track, we solicit submissions that meet the following criteria:

  • - They relate to the topics of the FOIS conference (see FOIS 2024's call for papers).

  • - They are not extensions of an earlier conference or workshop paper.

  • - They must have been published in a journal in 2021 or later.

  • - They are research articles, but not review articles or commentaries.

  • Submissions that are in press can be submitted as long as the final camera-ready version is available.

Important dates

  • Paper submission: 17 April 2024 27 April 2024

  • Author notification: 15 May 2024
