                     Call for Participation KAW'95
  Ninth Knowledge Acquisition for Knowledge-Based Systems Workshop
            Banff, Canada, February 26-March 3, 1995


         Minitrack: Knowledge Acquisition using Conceptual Graphs
       

Objective
=========
The objective of the annual knowledge-acquisition workshops is to provide a
forum for those developing theories, methods, systems, and empirical
studies that relate to the process of building intelligent systems of all
kinds.

This minitrack proposes to concentrate on the application of the Conceptual 
Graph Theory and operators within this theory, for knowledge acquisition and
knowledge engineering. The topics of this minitrack include, but are not 
limited to:

o Knowledge Acquisition Methodologies

o Analysis and Comparisons of Different Knowledge Acquisition Techniques

o Prototypical Knowledge Structures for Knowledge Acquisition Processes

o Knowledge Level Modeling

o Knowledge Acquisition Tools, Techniques and Mechanisms
        
o Ontology Acquisition and Structuring

o Applications

o Knowledge Representation


Submission Format
=================
Draft papers (up to 20 pages) should be sent electronically to Brian Gaines
before October 31, 1994. Acceptance and revision notices will be e-mailed
by November 15, 1994. Revised papers (20 pages) should be submitted by
January 15, 1995, so that hardcopies may be bound together for distribution
at the workshop.

For KAW'95, 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 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.

Demonstrations of mature software systens will be an important feature of
the workshop, and a range of high-performance workstations will be
provided. Authors submitting to this track should contact Rob Kremer about
the logistics of setting up demonstrations and showing videos.

Participation by graduate students is particularly encouraged. There will
be a number of studentships at a reduced fee for full-time graduate
students whose papers are accepted.  If appropriate, please indicate that
you wish to apply for such a studentship when you submit a paper.

WWW, world wide web, will be used to coordinate the meeting and further
details of the tracks, paper formats, conference arrangements, etc, will
be post to the web through:
