This minitrack proposes to concentrate on the application of the Conceptual Graph Theory and operators within this theory, for knowledge modeling and knowledge engineering. The topics of this minitrack include, but are not limited to: o Knowledge Modeling Methodologies o Analysis and Comparisons of Different Knowledge Modeling Techniques o Prototypical Knowledge Structures for Knowledge Modeling Processes o Knowledge Level Modeling o Knowledge Modelling Tools, Techniques and Mechanisms o Ontology Acquisition and Structuring o Applications o Knowledge Representation Submission Format ================= Submissions should follow the general paper guideline of KAW 96 (which is included below). System demonstrations will be a part of the track (Contact Rob Kremer on the technical details). The track will be organized as a mixture of paper presentations and discussion sessions. We plan to have a 2-day track. Draft papers (up to 20 pages) should be sent electronically to Brian Gaines before May 31, 1996. Acceptance and revision notices will be e-mailed by July 31, 1996. Revised papers (20 pages) should be submitted by September 30, 1996, so that hardcopies may be bound together for distribution at the workshop. Authors who submit papers to the workshop will be expected to help with the refereeing of papers submitted by other individuals. Submission and review of papers, and coordination of all aspects of the meeting, will be through the Internet. Papers should be transmitted in postscript or common document processor format (e.g., Microsoft Word) either by e-mail to gaines@cpsc.ucalgary.ca, or by FTP to ksi.cpsc.ucalgary.ca in directory /incoming (with an email note to gaines@cpsc.ucalgary.ca when the paper is transferred). Authors should indicate appropriate sessions/minitracks for each submission. If there is uncertainty regarding the optimum track for a paper, authors should contact the chairs of the track that seems closest, preferably in advance of the submission deadline. Depending on the range of papers received, some tracks may be collapsed whereas other tracks may be added in advance of the workshop. The world-wide web (WWW) will be used to coordinate the meeting and to provide further details of the tracks, paper formats, conference arrangements, and so on. Please see the following URL for more information about the workshop: http://ksi.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/KAW/KAW.html Send submissions to Brian Gains directly.
