Meeting Description:

The International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems (FOIS)
is one of the leading conferences in ontology engineering. FOIS aims to
promote interdisciplinary research and international collaboration at the
intersection of philosophical ontology, linguistics, logic, cognitive science,
and computer science, as well as in the applications of ontological analysis
to conceptual modeling, knowledge engineering, knowledge management,
information-systems development, library and information science, scientific
research, and semantic technologies in general.
The FOIS 2020 conference, to be held in Bolzano-Bozen (Italy), September
14-17, 2020, will host an Early Career Symposium (ECS). This event is designed
to provide an opportunity for graduate students to present their work at one
of the leading conferences in formal ontology and to get first-hand feedback
and mentorship from senior researchers in their field. It will also allow
participants to network with other (early career) scientists in the broad
field of ontology, as well as to participate in a rich social environment
together with peers. Topics of interest include all topics relevant to the
interdisciplinary field of ontology as outlined in the topics of interest for
FOIS 2020.


Call for Submissions: 

Important dates:
June 1, 2020: Submission deadline
July 1, 2020: Notification of acceptance
August 2, 2020: Submission of camera-ready version
September 14-17, 2020: ECS at FOIS 2020

Format: 
The ECS will be held as a poster session within the main FOIS conference. The
poster session will be preceded by a lightning talks session, during which
each participant has the opportunity to advertise his/her work in a 5 minutes
speech in front of the general audience of the conference. Each participant
will be assigned a senior researcher as mentor, who will provide substantial
feedback to his/her work. 
Moreover, a PhD Lounge will allow early career scientists to meet and discuss
their work with each other, their mentors and other senior researchers. 

Submissions: 
The ECS is open to students at the Masters and Doctoral Levels that have not
defended their thesis before the ECS Submission deadline.
Candidates must submit a short description of their research project, which
should not be longer than 3 pages. Submissions will be reviewed by selected
members of the FOIS Program Committee. Final submission is via EasyChair (see
submission instructions):  https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fois2020.
The submissions should follow the submission template available here:
https://tinyurl.com/ecs-fois2020-template. The template is meant to be used as
a general reference to organize the description of the submitted research
project in different sections with specific contents. Make sure that the final
version of your submission is in a single pdf file.
The abstracts (up to 500 words), included in the projects' descriptions, will
be published as part of the JOWO proceedings by CEUR (ISSN 1613-0073,
DBLP-indexed).

Registration: 
The successful authors must register for the main conference. A limited number
of scholarships will be available to support student participation. Further
information will be soon available on the website:
