Aim

The aim of this working group is to provide a community for researchers in knowledge representation and reasoning. It nurtures both the theoretical and practical advancement of approaches to knowledge representation and reasoning and provides a general forum for the exchange of scientific results.

Scope

The scope of the Working Group’s activities includes (but is not restricted to) the following:   

• Abductive and inductive reasoning
• Non-monotonic reasoning
• Reasoning under inconsistency and incompleteness
• Reasoning about actions and change
• Automated reasoning
• Reasoning about knowledge and belief, epistemic and doxastic logics
• Logic programming
• Argumentation
• Description Logics
• Uncertain Reasoning, using e.g. probabilistic, possibilistic, fuzzy, or other representations of uncertainty
• Belief change and merging
• Implementations and applications of approaches to knowledge representation

Aims

To develop advanced methods for organizing, accessing and exploiting multidisciplinary knowledge within organisations and enterprises.
To bring together various areas of KM research and technology to meet this challenge, e.g. knowledge transfer and modelling, optimisation, natural language understanding, speech and image processing and understanding, reasoning methods, learning methods, communication methods, social aspects, complex problem solving, decision support, human-machine interaction, serious games.
To develop technology for intelligent support of Knowledge Cultivators, e.g. intelligent knowledge navigation systems, multi modal interface, automatic translation, competency management, e- and m-activities such as learning, collaborative research and design, business, process control.
To share the worldwide experience in the above domains.

Scope

Methodology, technologies, processes, and systems for supporting all aspects of knowledge management as communication, collaboration, learning, innovation, decision making, investigation, embedding and archiving. Knowledge thinking.
Knowledge Holonomy - the interplay between individual, organizational, enterprise and society levels. Cross organisational.

Technology trends includes:

• Intelligent multimodal knowledge acquisition and retrieval
• Knowledge discovery
• Technology for sustainable development
• Convergence of intelligences
• Technology for Knowledge
• Innovation Human machine interaction and collaboration
• Virtual reality and Games for KM
• e- and mobile actvities
• Knowledge for Innovation
