The KESE8 Workshop (2012)
Aims and Scope
Knowledge Based Systems (KBS) have been successfully developed in various domains based on techniques and tools from Knowledge Engineering (KE). The classic KE approach to system modelling uses mostly symbolic logic-based symbolic knowledge representation methods, which are more specific from Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a broad sense, that has recently included computational intelligence techniques. Since most of the implementations of today KBS are software based, Software Engineering (SE) methods and tools play an important role in their development. Moreover, recent developments in SE emphasize the importance of the use of formalized symbolic representations in the software development process.
The eight workshop on Knowledge Engineering and Software Engineering (KESE8) is held at the
ECAI 2012 (THE European Conference on Artificial Intelligence) organized by European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence in Montpellier, France,
and wants to bring together researchers and practitioners from both fields of software engineering and knowledge engineering, as well as the Semantic Web community. The intention is to give ample space for exchanging latest research results as well as knowledge about practical experience. This year we also encourage to submit tool presentations, i.e., system descriptions that clearly show the interaction between knowledge engineering and software engineering research and practice.
The previous KESE Workshops were held at the German Conference on Artificial Intelligence (KI) since 2005 and on the Spanish AI Conference in 2011.
See the KESE workshop series page for more information.
Topics of Interest
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Knowledge and software engineering for the Semantic Web
Ontologies in practical knowledge and software engineering
Business Rules design, management and analysis
Business Processes modelling in KE and SE
Practical knowledge representation and discovery techniques in software engineering
Agent-oriented software engineering
Knowledge base management in KE systems
Evaluation and verification of KBS
Practical tools for KBS engineering
Process models in KE applications
Software requirements and design for KBS applications
Declarative, logic-based, including constraint programming approaches in SE
Call for Tool Presentations
We are also strongly interested in tool presentations, so we regularly encourage the submission of tool presentation papers, i.e., system descriptions that clearly show the interaction between knowledge engineering and software engineering research.
