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.
