THE IJCAI INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON GRAPH STRUCTURES FOR KNOWLEDGE
REPRESENTATION AND REASONING
(GKR 2009, July 11-13, 2009, Pasadena, California)
http://www.lirmm.fr/~croitoru/GKR/
FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
1 Workshop at a glance
New challenges, problems, and issues have emerged in the context of
knowledge representation in Artificial Intelligence (AI), involving the
logical manipulation of increasingly large information sets (see for
example Semantic Web, BioInformatics and so on). Improvements in storage
capacity and performance of computing infrastructure have also affected
the nature of KRR systems, shifting their focus towards representational
power and execution performance. Therefore, KRR research is faced with a
challenge of developing knowledge representation structures optimized
for large scale reasoning. This new generation of KRR systems includes
graph-based knowledge representation formalisms such as Bayesian
Networks (BNs), Semantic Networks (SNs), Conceptual Graphs (CGs), Formal
Concept Analysis (FCA), CP-nets, GAI-nets, all of which have been
successfully used in a number of applications. The goal of this workshop
is to bring together the researchers involved in the development and
application of graph-based knowledge representation formalisms and
reasoning techniques.
2 Relevant topics
The workshop welcomes contributions that address graph-based
representation and reasoning paradigms from a theoretical, algorithmic
or application viewpoint. Such formalisms include but are not limited to:
* Bayesian Networks,
* Graphical Models for Preferences (CP-Nets, GAI-Nets),
* Conceptual Graphs,
* Graph-based KR Languages for the Semantic Web,
* Semantic Networks,
* Formal Concept Analysis,
* Existential Graphs,
* Euler Diagrams, etc.
Examples of application domains for using graph based knowledge
representation and reasoning include, but are not limited to: Semantic
Web, Bioinformatics, Multi Agent Systems, Recommender Systems etc..
