Conference days: 19-23 November 2016, Bologna, Italy Paper submission: September 9, 2016 Web site: http://ekaw2016.cs.unibo.it/?q=call-for-posters-and-demos ======================================================== The Demos and Posters session at EKAW 2016 aims to complement the research track by providing an opportunity to present and discuss late-breaking results, on-going projects and innovative prototypes. The informal setting of the D&P session encourages presenters and participants to engage in discussions about the presented work. Such discussions can be invaluable inputs for the future work of the presenters, while offering participants an effective way to broaden their knowledge of the emerging research trends and to start collaborations with other researchers. We invite submissions relevant to the area of knowledge management, knowledge representation, engineering and acquisition, and knowledge in use; paying special attention to the EKAW focus on knowledge evolution. Technical posters, reports on software systems, descriptions of completed work, and work in progress are all welcome. Demonstrations are intended to showcase innovative knowledge management related implementations and technologies. All submissions are intended to convey a scientific result or work in progress and should not be advertisements for commercial software packages. == SUBMISSION INFORMATION == Submissions of maximum 4 pages long are invited, using the Springer Verlag LNCS formatting guidelines.

The purpose of the session is allow the presentation of innovative ideas, as well as of preliminary results, to the community, provided that originality and significance of the contribution are ensured. Please make sure that it is clear how the demo or poster fits with the topics of interest of EKAW 2016. Authors submitting a demo are strongly encouraged to include in the paper a pointer to the online demo or video of the application to be presented. They should also make clear what exactly will be demonstrated to the participants (e.g., what datasets will be used, which functionalities will be showed). At least one of the authors must be a registered participant at the conference, and present the work at the Demos and Posters Session. Accepted papers will appear in supplementary post-conference proceedings to be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. == IMPORTANT DATES == Poster and Demo Submission: September 9, 2016 Notification: October 6, 2016 Camera-Ready: October 20, 2016 == CHAIRS == Tudor Groza (Garvan Institute of Medical Research, Australia) Mari Carmen Suárez-Figueroa (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain)
