Eighth International Symposium
on
Foundations of Information and Knowledge Systems
(FoIKS 2014)
Bordeaux, France -- March 3-7, 2014
http://2014.foiks.org/
The FoIKS symposia provide a biennial forum for presenting and discussing
theoretical and applied research on information and knowledge systems. The goal
is to bring together researchers with an interest in this subject, share
research experiences, promote collaboration and identify new issues and
directions for future research.
FoIKS 2014 solicits original contributions dealing with any foundational aspect
of information and knowledge systems. This includes submissions that apply
ideas, theories or methods from specific disciplines to information and
knowledge systems. Examples of such disciplines are discrete mathematics, logic
and algebra, model theory, information theory, complexity theory, algorithmics
and computation, statistics and optimisation.
Previous FoIKS symposia were held in Kiel (Germany) in 2012, Sofia (Bulgaria)
in 2010, Pisa (Italy) in 2008, Budapest (Hungary) in 2006, Vienna (Austria) in
2004, Schlo\ss\ Salzau near Kiel (Germany) in 2002, and Burg/Spreewald near
Berlin (Germany) in 2000. FoIKS took up the tradition of the conference series
Mathematical Fundamentals of Database Systems (MFDBS), which initiated
East-West collaboration in the field of database theory. Former MFDBS
conferences were held in Rostock (Germany) in 1991, Visegrad (Hungary) in 1989,
and Dresden (Germany) in 1987.
The FoIKS symposia are a forum for intense discussions. Speakers will be given
sufficient time to present their ideas and results within the larger context of
their research. Furthermore, participants will be asked to prepare a first
response to another contribution in order to initiate discussion.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
* Database Design: formal models, dependencies and independencies;
* Dynamics of Information: models of transactions, concurrency control,
updates, consistency preservation, belief revision;
* Information Fusion: heterogeneity, views, schema dominance, multiple source
information merging, reasoning under inconsistency;
* Integrity and Constraint Management: verification, validation, consistent
query answering, information cleaning;
* Intelligent Agents: multi-agent systems, autonomous agents, foundations of
software agents, cooperative agents, formal models of interactions, logical
models of emotions;
* Knowledge Discovery and Information Retrieval: machine learning, data mining,
formal concept analysis and association rules, text mining, information
extraction;
* Knowledge Representation, Reasoning and Planning: non-monotonic formalisms,
probabilistic and non-probabilistic models of uncertainty, graphical models and
independence, similarity-based reasoning, preference modeling and handling,
argumentation systems;
* Logics in Databases and AI: classical and non-classical logics, logic
programming, description logic, spatial and temporal logics, probability logic,
fuzzy logic;
* Mathematical Foundations: discrete structures and algorithms, graphs,
grammars, automata, abstract machines, finite model theory, information theory,
coding theory, complexity theory, randomness;
* Security in Information and Knowledge Systems: identity theft, privacy,
trust, intrusion detection, access control, inference control, secure Web
services, secure Semantic Web, risk management;
* Semi-Structured Data and XML: data modelling, data processing, data
compression, data exchange;
* Social Computing: collective intelligence and self-organizing knowledge,
collaborative filtering, computational social choice, Boolean games, coalition
formation, reputation systems;
* The Semantic Web and Knowledge Management: languages, ontologies, agents,
adaptation, intelligent algorithms; and
* The WWW: models of Web databases, Web dynamics, Web services, Web
transactions and negotiations.
PUBLICATION
The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in
Computer Science. After the symposium, authors of selected papers will be asked
to prepare extended versions of their papers for publication in a special issue
of the journal Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence.
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
Papers must be typeset using the Springer LaTeX2e style llncs for Lecture Notes
in Computer Science (see http://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/Authors.html). The
suggested number of pages is 16, and the maximum number of pages is 18.
Submissions which deviate substantially from these guidelines may be rejected
without review. Initial submissions must be in PDF format, but authors should
keep in mind that the LaTeX2e source must be submitted for the final versions
of accepted papers. Submissions in alternate formats, such as Microsoft Word,
cannot be accepted for either initial or final versions. The submissions will
be judged for scientific quality and for suitability as a basis for broader
discussion. Submission is via EasyChair at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=foiks2014.
