22nd International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management

16-20 September 2020 - Bozen-Bolzano, Italy

Scope & Topics

The 22nd International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management concerns all aspects of eliciting, acquiring, modeling and managing knowledge, and the role of knowledge in the construction of systems and services for the semantic web, knowledge management, e-business, natural language processing, intelligent information integration, and so on. The special theme of EKAW 2020 is “Ethical and Trustworthy Knowledge Engineering”. While recent reported breaches relate predominantly to machine learning systems, it is not impossible to envision ethical breaches in knowledge engineering more broadly and, conversely, devise methods and techniques to ensure no or minimal harm in knowledge acquisition, modelling, and knowledge-driven information systems. EKAW 2020 will put a special emphasis on the importance of Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management to keep fostering trustworthy systems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following

• Ethical and Trustworthy Knowledge Engineering
• Ethics and trust in automated reasoning
• Algorithmic transparency and explanations for knowledge-based systems
• Knowledge and ethics
• Ontologies for trust and ethics
• Trust and privacy in knowledge representation
• Knowledge Engineering and Acquisition
• Tools and methodologies for ontology engineering
• Ontology design patterns
• Ontology localisation
• Multilinguality in ontologies
  

Paper Submission

 We will accept different types of papers. The papers will all have the same status and follow the same formatting guidelines in the proceedings but will receive special treatment during the reviewing phase. In particular, each paper type will be subject to its own evaluation criteria. The Programme Committee will also make sure that there is a reasonable balance of the paper types accepted.
