recognition, knowledge acquisition, soft computing, databases and data
warehousing,  data visualization,  and  knowledge-based  systems.  The
conference   seeks  solutions  to  challenging   problems  facing  the
development of data mining systems,  and  shapes  future directions of
research   by  promoting  high  quality,  novel  and  daring  research
findings.  As  an important part  of  the  conference,  the  workshops
program will focus on new research challenges and initiatives.

    classification, clustering, probabilistic modeling, and
    association analysis), and in new areas
  - Data and knowledge representation for data mining
  - Modeling of structured, textual, temporal, spatial, multimedia and
    Web data to support data mining
  - Complexity, efficiency, and scalability issues in data mining
  - Data pre-processing, data reduction, feature selection and feature
    transformation

Introduction

     The objective of this workshop is to assemble theoreticians and
     practitioners concerned with developing methods and systems that assist
     the knowledge acquisition process and assessing the suitability of such
     methods. Thus, the workshop includes all aspects of eliciting,
     acquiring, modeling and managing knowledge, and their role in the
     construction of knowledge-intensive systems. Knowledge acquisition
     still remains the bottleneck for building a knowledge based system.
     Reuse and sharing of knowledge bases are major issues and no
     satisfactory solutions have been agreed upon yet. There is a wide range
     of research. Much of the work in this field has been knowledge
     acquisition from human experts. The advent of the age of digital
     information has brought the problem of data overload. Our ability to
     analyze and understand massive datasets lags far behind our ability to
     gather and store the data. A new generation of computational techniques
     and tools is required to support the acquisition of useful knowledge
     from the rapidly growing volume of data. All of these are to be
     discussed in this workshop.

     This workshop offers an opportunity to draw together both aspects of
     dealing with the situated nature of human knowledge and expertise and
     of developing methods that depend more on their algorithmic adequacy
     than on the expertise of the knowledge engineer.

Topics of Interest

     Papers are invited in all aspects of knowledge acquisition for
     knowledge-based systems, including (but not restricted to):

   * Fundamental views on knowledge that affect the knowledge acquisition
     process and the use of knowledge in knowledge engineering
   * Algorithmic approaches to knowledge acquisition
   * Tools and techniques for knowledge acquisition, knowledge maintenance
     and knowledge validation
   * Evaluation of knowledge acquisition techniques, tools and methods
   * Knowledge acquisition, machine learning and knowledge discovery
   * Languages and frameworks for knowledge and knowledge modeling
   * Integration of knowledge acquisition techniques with wider information
     systems or decision support systems
   * Methods and techniques for sharing and reusing knowledge
   * Distributed knowledge acquisition through infrastructures such as the
     Internet

Participation and Submission of Papers

     Despite the more open nature of this workshop the major goal remains to
     encourage vigorous interaction and exchange of ideas. Consequently, the
     workshop participation will be kept small - less than 40 participants.
     Persons not submitting papers can also request to participate. Authors
     are invited to formulate an issue that would be useful to discuss.
     Software demonstrations related to presented papers are also
     encouraged.

     The submissions will be reviewed by members of the program committee.
     Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings and distributed at
     the workshop as well as on the WWW. Authors will retain copyright of
     their papers.

     For more information about the workshop, please contact the Workshop
     Chairs.

Important Dates

   * Papers due by: August 28, 2000
   * Notification of Acceptance: October 20, 2000
   * Camera-ready version of Final paper due: November 20, 2000
   * Date of Workshop: December 11-13, 2000

Instructions for Paper Submission


     Papers describing original research or practical experiences from
     building knowledge-based systems should be submitted in Postscript
     or pdf format. We expect papers to be between 10 and 20 pages of length.
     They should be printed in 12pt font for normal text. The text area
     should be 22cm x 16cm and centered on each page.
     For submission, authors should send an e-mail to Achim Hoffmann
     with the paper title, name of all authors and a URL from which the
     paper can be accessed. The subject should be: "PKAW2000 submission".
     The e-mail must be received by 28 August 2000.
