[CogSci] [CfP] 2nd CfP - Cognition And OntologieS at JOWO 2024, July 15-19, Enschede, Netherlands

[CAOS - Cognition and Ontologies Workshop]

[Apologies for potential crossposting]

We are excited to announce the call for papers for the eighth edition of CAOS
- Cognition And OntologieS.

CAOS 8 will be co-located with the Joint Ontology Workshops - JOWO 2024 at
Enschede, Netherlands (July 15-19).

Website: https://caos.inf.unibz.it/

Deadline: April 17th, 2024


About the Workshop:

The purpose of the workshop is to bridge the gap between the cognitive
sciences, and research on formal ontologies and, thus, to create a venue
for researchers interested in interdisciplinary aspects of knowledge
representation.

More specifically, CAOS investigates key cognitive phenomena and concepts
(and the involved terminology) that can be found across language,
psychology, and reasoning, and how they can be formally and ontologically
understood and analysed. We aim to explore the connection between cognitive
sciences/experimental psychology and ontologies, as well as, more
generally, symbolic AI, and to provide formal and logical modelling for
capturing such connections. CAOS, thus, seeks answers to ways such
formalisations and ontological analysis can be exploited in Artificial
Intelligence and information systems.

We welcome submissions on topics related to the ontology of hypothesised
building blocks of cognition (such as image schemas, affordances,
categories, concepts, and related notions) and of cognitive capacities
(such as concept invention and combination, language acquisition and
categorisation), as well as system-demonstrations modelling these
capacities in application settings. We also welcome submissions addressing
the cognitive and epistemological adequacy of ontological modelling.

Important Dates:

Type of Contributions:

We welcome diverse contributions including research papers, case studies,
and theoretical explorations that align with the workshop's themes. We
accept three types of papers:

   -

   Abstract for presentation only: 2-3 pages, 10-15 minutes presentation
   (not included in the proceedings as papers)
   -

   Short papers: 6-8 pages, 10-15 minutes presentation
   -

   Full research papers: max. 10-14 pages, 20-25 minutes presentation

(Page number includes references, presentations include Q&A.)


Submissions must be sent via Easychair as a single PDF file and should be
formatted in CEUR 1-column format.

.

Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fois2024. Please
select the track JOWO Workshop - Cognition and OntologieS (CAOS8).


For inclusion in the workshop, at least one of the authors of accepted
papers must register at JOWO 2024 and participate on-site at CAOS.

Location:

CAOS is co-located with JOWO (
https://www.utwente.nl/en/eemcs/fois2024/workshops/) held in the beautiful
city of Enschede, Netherlands.

Join us at CAOS to add a sparkle of cognition to the main event! We look
forward to your valuable contributions to a fruitful and thought-provoking
discussion.
