The purpo se of the workshop is to bridge the gap between th e cognitive sciences and research on ontologies an d, thus, to create a venue for researchers interes ted in interdisciplinary aspects of knowledge repr esentation. More specifically CAOS investigates ho w key cognitive phenomena and concepts (and the in volved terminology) can be found across language, psychology and reasoning and how they can be forma lly and ontologically understood and analysed. It moreover seeks answers to ways such formalisations and ontological analysis can be exploited in Arti ficial Intelligence and information systems in gen eral.
\n\nCAOS 2021 is going to happen at the Bolzano Summer of Knowledge, BO SK 2021, in September 2021, organised as a FOIS 2021 workshop. CAOS 2021 is plan ned as a hybrid event.
\nWe w elcome submissions on topics related to the ontolo gy of hypothesized building blocks of cognition (s uch as image schemas, affordances, categories, and related notions) and of cognitive capacities (suc h as concept invention, language acquisition and c ategorisation), as well as system demonstrations m odelling these capacities in application settings. We also welcome submissions addressing the cognit ive and epistemological adequacy of ontological mo delling. Work in progress (short papers) are also welcome since a central goal of the workshop is th e discussion of ongoing interdisciplinary work.
\n\nWe encourage three types of contribution s: Full research papers (10-14 pages), Short paper s (5-7 pages), and Abstracts for presentation (2-4 pages). All papers must be original and not submi tted to or accepted by any other workshop, confere nce or journal.
