Description
In the 21st century, we are now on the way to the knowledge-intensive society
in which knowledge plays ever more important roles. Research interest should
inevitably shift from information to knowledge, namely how to build, organize,
maintain and utilize knowledge are the central issues in a wide variety
of fields. The 21st Century COE program, “Framework for Systematization
and Application of Large-scale Knowledge Resources (COE-LKR)” conducted
by Tokyo Institute of Technology is one of the attempts to challenge these
important issues. Inspired by this project, LKR2008 aims at bringing together
diverse contribution in cognitive science, computer science, education
and linguistics to explore design, construction, extension, maintenance,
validation, and application of knowledge. Topics of Interest to the conference
includes: |
|
Infrastructure for Large-scale Knowledge
Grid computing
Network computing
Software tools and development environments
Database and archiving systems
Mobile and ubiquitous computing
Systematization for Large-scale Knowledge
Language resources
Multi-modal resources
Classification, Clustering
Formal systems
Knowledge representation and ontology
Semantic Web
Cognitive systems
Collaborative knowledge
Applications and Evaluation of Large-scale Knowledge
Archives for science and art
Educational media
Information access
Document analysis
Human interface
Web applications

Submission
Since we are aiming at an interdisciplinary conference covering wide range
of topics concerning large-scale knowledge resources, authors are requested
to add general introductory description in the beginning of the paper so
that readers of other research area can understand the importance of the
work. Note that one of the reviewers of each paper is assigned from other
topic area to see if this requirement is fulfilled. There are two categories
of paper presentation: oral and poster. The category of the paper should
be stated at submission. Authors are invited to submit original unpublished
research papers, in English, up to 16 pages for oral presentation and 8
pages for poster presentation, strictly following the LNCS/LNAI format
guidelines available at the Springer LNCS Web page: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
Paper submission will be handled electronically using the START system.
The URL for paper submission is https://www.softconf.com/starts/LKR08/submit.html.
|

|
|
Reviewing
The reviewing of the papers
will be blind and managed by an international Conference Program Committee
consisting of Area Chairs and associated Program Committee Members. Final
decisions on the technical program will be made by a meeting of the Program Co-Chairs
and Area Chairs. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three program
committee members, and one of the reviewers is assigned from a different topic area. |
|
|
|
Publication
Conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI), which will be available at the conference.
