Background and Motivation
---------------------------------------

Workshops provide members of a community a forum to discuss common
interests in a focused way. If you are working in an emerging area in
Knowledge Acquisition, Knowledge Engineering and/or Knowledge
Management, consider organizing a workshop. They are a chance to meet
mind-alike researchers and discover what others are doing. A workshop
offers a good opportunity for young researchers to present their work
and to obtain feedback from an interested community. Successful
workshops may result in edited books or special issues in international
journals.

EKAW 2010 is looking for exciting proposals for half-day or full-day
workshops to be held. Each workshop should generate discussions that
give the EKAW community a new, organized way of thinking about the
topic, or ideas that suggest promising directions for future research. A
successful workshop can move the field forward and help in building
community.

EKAW workshops provide an informal setting where the participants have
the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics in an atmosphere
that fosters the active exchange of  ideas. Our aim for the workshop
program is to promote and collect multidisciplinary research directions
that contribute to knowledge management and engineering. Members from
all research areas related to knowledge are invited to submit workshop
proposals.

Workshop @ EKAW 2010
-----------------
The 17th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge
Management is concerned with all aspects of eliciting, acquiring,
modelling and managing knowledge, and its role in the construction of
knowledge-intensive systems and services for the semantic web, knowledge
management, e-business, natural language processing, intelligent
information integration, etc.

We seek high quality proposals for workshops about topics related to the
conference. Of particular interest are proposals that address one of the
following areas:

1) Knowledge Management
2) Knowledge Engineering and Acquisition
3) Knowledge In Use
4) Social and Cognitive Aspects of Knowledge Engineering
5) Special focus knowledge management and engineering by the masses
   * Human-machine synergy in knowledge acquisition
   * Incentives for knowledge creation and semantic annotation
   * Enhancing human productivity (e.g. knowledge workers)
   * Social and human factors in knowledge management
   * Collective and collaborative intelligence in knowledge management
   * Social tagging and folksonomies, social networks
   * Web2.0 approaches to KM (including semantic wikis, folksonomies, etc.)
   * Games with a Purpose and KM
   * Linked Open Data / Web of Data

Submission Requirements
--------------------------------------
Each workshop should have one or more organizers and an international
program committee. Proposals for workshops should be a maximum of 1000
