[Apologies for potential crossposting]
We are excited to announce the call for papers for the eighth edition of CAOS - Cognition And OntologieS.
CAOS 8 will be co-located with the Joint Ontology Workshops - JOWO 2024 at Enschede, Netherlands (July 15-19).
Website: https://caos.inf.unibz.it/
Deadline: April 17th, 2024
About the Workshop:
The purpose of the workshop is to bridge the gap between the cognitive sciences, and research on formal ontologies and, thus, to create a venue for researchers interested in interdisciplinary aspects of knowledge representation.
More specifically, CAOS investigates key cognitive phenomena and concepts (and the involved terminology) that can be found across language, psychology, and reasoning, and how they can be formally and ontologically understood and analysed. We aim to explore the connection between cognitive sciences/experimental psychology and ontologies, as well as, more generally, symbolic AI, and to provide formal and logical modelling for capturing such connections. CAOS, thus, seeks answers to ways such formalisations and ontological analysis can be exploited in Artificial Intelligence and information systems.
We welcome submissions on topics related to the ontology of hypothesised building blocks of cognition (such as image schemas, affordances, categories, concepts, and related notions) and of cognitive capacities (such as concept invention and combination, language acquisition and categorisation), as well as system-demonstrations modelling these capacities in application settings. We also welcome submissions addressing the cognitive and epistemological adequacy of ontological modelling.
Important Dates:
Submission deadline: April 17th , 2024
Notification of acceptance: May 15th, 2024
Camera-ready (post-conference proceedings) deadline: July 30th, 2024
Workshop: July 15-19th
List of Topics:
CAOS invites paper contributions related (but not restricted) to the following areas:
Ontologies of cognitive phenomena
Logic and Cognition (challenges, possible solutions and validation scenarios)
Formal representation of cognitive structures / functions / processes (e.g. Conceptual Spaces, etc)
Knowledge Representation and Common-Sense
Formalisation of language, image schemas and/or affordance
Embodied language acquisition
Concept invention and concept combination
Cognitive development from an ontological perspective
Metaphors and analogies (formal representation, ontological analysis)
Artificial language understanding
Natural language applications / system-demonstrations / LLMs and cognition
Knowledge acquisition and categorisation in AI and Robotics
Tool use and affordances
Concept-based computational creativity
Type of Contributions:
We welcome diverse contributions including research papers, case studies, and theoretical explorations that align with the workshop's themes. We accept three types of papers:
Abstract for presentation only: 2-3 pages, 10-15 minutes presentation (not included in the proceedings as papers)
Short papers: 6-8 pages, 10-15 minutes presentation
Full research papers: max. 10-14 pages, 20-25 minutes presentation
(Page number includes references, presentations include Q&A.)
Submissions must be sent via Easychair as a single PDF file and should be formatted in CEUR 1-column format.

Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fois2024. Please select the track JOWO Workshop - Cognition and OntologieS (CAOS8).
For inclusion in the workshop, at least one of the authors of accepted papers must register at JOWO 2024 and participate on-site at CAOS.
Location:
CAOS is co-located with JOWO (https://www.utwente.nl/en/eemcs/fois2024/workshops/) held in the beautiful city of Enschede, Netherlands.
Join us at CAOS to add a sparkle of cognition to the main event! We look forward to your valuable contributions to a fruitful and thought-provoking discussion.
Best regards,
