SUMMARY:Joint Workshop on Knowledge Evolution and 
 Ontology Dynamics (EvoDyn 2011), Bonn, Germany
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20111024
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20111024
LOCATION:Bonn, Germany
DESCRIPTION:EvoDyn builds on the success of the pr
 evious editions of the Ontology Dynamics workshop 
 formerly known as IWOD (organised as a part of the
  ESWC'07, ISWC'08, ISWC'09 and ISWC'10 conferences
 ). EvoDyn continues in the tradition of IWOD in be
 ing the core annual event to discuss advances in t
 he broad area of ontology dynamics, and to track r
 ecent work directly or indirectly related to the p
 roblem of evolving ontologies. This year, however,
  the scope of the workshop is broadened by a speci
 al focus on the knowledge evolution. As ontologies
  are formal representations of knowledge, the stud
 y of their dynamics is an inherent part of investi
 gating the knowledge evolution phenomena, yet it i
 s only one of many relevant aspects this workshop 
 aims to cover in an integral manner.    In particu
 lar, the workshop focuses on analysis of trends an
 d change in formal descriptions (i.e., ontologies)
 , but also in associated raw sources of knowledge 
 (scientific publications, unstructured or semi-str
 uctured web content, traditional data stores, e-ma
 il or on-line discussion threads, etc.). We are es
 pecially interested in research targeted on variou
 s states of knowledge evolution, such as (a) confl
 icts, (b) consolidation, (c) discovery, (d) paradi
 gm shifts, and (e) breakthroughs. One crucial obje
 ctive of better understanding these different stat
 es may be to study directly the underlying causes 
 and dynamics needed to generate discoveries and br
 eakthroughs. We will only be able to facilitate an
 d possibly also generate such desirable situations
  if we can understand the process of how knowledge
  evolves. The process of how knowledge in a field 
 grows and changes, crystallizes, and fractures are
  all areas of interest of this workshop.  Further 
 information and relevant updates can be found at t
 he workshop web page: http://www.ontologydynamics.
 org/od/index.php/evodyn2011/   The Programme Commi
 ttee cordially invites all researchers to submit t
 heir papers for presentation. We especially encour
 age submissions that integrally cover multiple rel
 evant topics. Deadline for the submission of paper
