SUMMARY:11th International Conference on Formal On
 tology in Information Systems (FOIS 2020), Bolzano
  (Italy)
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200914

LOCATION:Bolzano (Italy)
DESCRIPTION:The advent of complex information syst
 ems that rely on robust, coherent and formal repre
 sentations of their subject matter, has led to the
  exploitation of ontological analysis and ontology
 -based representation. The systematic study of suc
 h analysis and representation is at the center of 
 the modern discipline of formal ontology, which is
  a general theory of the types of entities and rel
 ations making up domains of interest. Researchers 
 in many domains engage with formal ontology to pro
 vide a solid foundation for their work.  The FOIS 
 conference is a meeting point for all researchers 
 with an interest in formal ontology. FOIS 2020 inc
 ludes a number of activities: FOIS conference (sin
 gle track program), workshops (in conjunction with
  EKAW 2020 and ICBO 2020) ,tutorials (in conjuncti
 on with EKAW 2020 and ICBO 2020), a young research
 ers symposium, a demo and industry track, and an o
 ntology show and tell. As in previous years, FOIS 
 2020 aims to be a nexus of interdisciplinary resea
 rch and communication.  Sadly because of the COVID
 -19 FOIS 2020 was not able to occur as planned. Wh
 ile papers were reviewed and the proceedings will 
 be published by IOS Press, the physical conference
  has been cancelled. In recognition of FOIS’ impor
 tant social function within the applied ontology c
 ommunity, it was also decided to run a FOIS editio
 n in September 2021. FOIS 2021 will happen in Bolz
 ano, and it will include all the events originally
  planned for FOIS 2020 including the Early Career 
 Symposium, the Ontology Show and Tell, as well as 
 the Demo and Industrial Track.  The conference enc
 ourages new high quality submissions on both theor
 etical issues and concrete applications.The FOIS C
 onference seeks full-length high-quality papers on
  a wide range of topics. An ideal FOIS paper will 
 address both content-related ontological issues, t
 heir formal representation, as well as their impac
 t and relevance for some aspect of information sys
 tems. Related activities, such as workshops and tu
 torials, may specify different submission formats,
  for example, short papers or posters.
