Deadline Extension - Cognition And OntologieS@JOWO 2024, July 15-19, Enschede, Netherlands
CAOS - Cognition and Ontologies Workshop
[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 (extended): April 27th (AoE), 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 27, 2024
- Notification of acceptance: May 22, 2024
- Camera-ready (post-conference proceedings) deadline: July 30, 2024
- Workshop: July 15-19, 2024
- 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
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:
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.
Template:https://ceur-ws.org/HOWTOSUBMIT.html; https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/template-for-submissions-to-ceur-workshop-proceedings-ceur-ws-dot-org/wqyfdgftmcfw.
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.
