| - | International Joint Workshop | + | ===== Aims and Scope ===== |
| - | on Knowledge Engineering and Intelligent Techniques and Software Enginnering | + | {{:kese:kese_logo.png |The KESE logo (c) 2008 by WTF}} |
| + | 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. | ||
| - | KESE/AISEW 2012 | + | This stimulates the synergy between KE methods and SE methods and tools. Thus, declarative software engineering techniques have been established in many areas, such as knowledge systems, logic programming, constraint programming, and lately in the context of the Semantic Web, business rules as well as business processes. |

| - | at the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence ECAI 2012 | + | The eight workshop on Knowledge Engineering and Software Engineering (KESE8) is held at the |
| + | [[http://www2.lirmm.fr/ecai2012/|ECAI 2012]] (THE European Conference on Artificial Intelligence) organized by [[http://www.eccai.org/|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. Moreover the workshop endeavors to promote the use of KE techniques in SE problems, where significant benefits can be derived from their use. The general goal of the workshop is to show how the KE techniques can provide practical solutions in SE issues. On the other hand, the influence of SE methods and tools on the practical design of KBS within KE. | ||
| - | organized by the European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence (ECCAI) | + | The principal focus of the Workshop is on methods of Knowledge Engineering rooted in the symbolic logic-based representations and their novel applications in Software Engineering. Moreover, a synergistic use and development of these KE methods together with recent formalized and declarative SE methods, including Model-Driven Architecture and Development, ontological modelling as well as Business Process modelling is emphasized. Finally, the studies of the impact of these SE methods on the classic KE development processes are welcomed. |
| - | Montpellier, France, August 27-3 | + | The previous KESE Workshops were held at the German Conference on Artificial Intelligence (KI) since 2005 and on the Spanish AI Conference (CAEPIA) in 2011. |
