17 - 18 September 2020, Workshop on Causal Reasoning and Explanation in Logic Programming (CAUSAL 2020), Virtual
Sophisticated causal reasoning has long been prevalent in human society and continues to have an undeniable impact on the advancement of science, technology, medicine, and other significant fields. From the development of ancient tools to modern roots of causal analysis in business and industry, reasoning about causality and having the ability to explain causal mechanisms enables us to identify how an outcome of interest came to be and gives insight into how to bring about, or even prevent, similar outcomes in future scenarios.
This ICLP 2020 workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners of logic programming with a dedicated focus on methods and trends emerging from the study of causality and explanation. The workshop will present the latest research and application developments in these areas and provide opportunities to discuss current and future research directions and relationships to other fields (e.g. Machine Learning, Explainable AI, Diagnosis, Natural Language Processing and Understanding, Philosophy of Science). An important expected outcome of this workshop is to collect first-hand feedback from the ICLP community about the role and placement of causal reasoning and explanation in the landscape of modern computer theory as well as in the software industry.
We welcome the submission of papers on systems, tools, and applications of logic programming methods for causal reasoning and explanation. In particular, we encourage submissions presenting recent developments, including works in progress. Submissions must describe original research and be prepared using the Springer LNAI/LNCS format and should be no longer than 13 pages.

18 - 24 September 2020, Second Workshop on Epistemic Extensions of Logic Programming (EELP 2020), Virtual
Several successful logic programming languages, evidenced by the availability of a multitude of solvers, industrial applications, and an active research community, have been proposed in the literature. Researchers have long recognized the need for epistemic operators in these languages. This led to a flurry of research on this topic, and renewed interest in recent years. A central question is that of the definition of a rigorous and intuitive semantics for such epistemic operators, which is still subject of ongoing research. Notions of equivalence, structural properties, and the inter-relationships between logic programming languages and established logics are all subjects being actively investigated. Another important topic is that of practical solvers to compute answers to logic programs that contain epistemic operators. Several solvers are actively developed, building on established solvers, or using rewriting-based approaches. For practical applications, additional language features are actively explored in order to be able to apply epistemic extensions of logic programming langauges to practical problems. The goal of this workshop is to facilitate discussions regarding these topics and a productive exchange of ideas.
This workshop is part of the International Conference of Logic Programming (ICLP) 2020. In keeping with the main conference, the workshop will be held as a fully virtual event this year.
We welcome two categories of submissions: Full Papers, that is, original, unpublished research (at most 15 pages), and Extended Abstracts of already published research (at most 2 pages). All submissions should be in the Springer LNCS format.

8 - 9 August 2020, Workshop on Semantic Spaces at the Intersection of NLP, Physics, & Cognitive Sciences (SemSpace2020), Utrecht, The Netherlands
Semantic Spaces at the Intersection of NLP, Physics, and Cognitive Science (SemSpace2020) is the latest edition of a series of workshops that brings together research at the intersection of NLP, Physics, and Cognitive Science. Using the common ground of vector spaces, the workshop offers researchers in these areas an appropriate forum for presenting their uniquely motivated work and ideas. The interplay between the three disciplines will foster theoretically motivated approaches to understanding how meanings of words interact with each other in sentences and discourse via grammatical types, how they are determined by input from the world, and how word and sentence meanings interact logically.
COVID-19 note: the workshop will take place, either in an online format or in person if the situation allows. Since ESSLLI 2020 (with which the workshop was originally to be co-located) has been cancelled, the dates and location may be subject to slight change.

2 - 3 November 2020, The Fifteenth International Workshop on Ontology Matching (OM-2020), Virtual
Ontology matching is a key interoperability enabler for the Semantic Web, as well as a useful technique in some classical data integration tasks dealing with the semantic heterogeneity problem. It takes ontologies as input and determines as output an alignment, that is, a set of correspondences between the semantically related entities of those ontologies. These correspondences can be used for various tasks, such as ontology merging, data interlinking, query answering or navigation over knowledge graphs. Thus, matching ontologies enables the knowledge and data expressed with the matched ontologies to interoperate.
This International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) Workshop has three goals: 1. To bring together leaders from academia, industry and user institutions to assess how academic advances are addressing real-world requirements. 2. To conduct an extensive and rigorous evaluation of ontology matching and instance matching (link discovery) approaches through the OAEI 2020 campaign. 3. To examine similarities and differences from other, old, new and emerging, techniques and usages, such as web table matching or knowledge embeddings.
This year, in sync with the main conference, we encourage submissions specifically devoted to: (i) datasets, benchmarks and replication studies, services, software, methodologies, protocols and measures (not necessarily related to OAEI), and (ii) application of the matching technology in real-life scenarios and assessment of its usefulness to the final users.
Contributions to the workshop can be made in terms of technical papers and posters/statements of interest addressing different issues of ontology matching as well as participating in the OAEI 2020 campaign. Long technical papers should be of max. 12 pages. Short technical papers should be of max. 5 pages. Posters/statements of interest should not exceed 2 pages. All contributions have to be prepared using the LNCS Style.
10 - 12 August 2020, 26th International Workshop on Cellular Automata and Discrete Complex Systems (AUTOMATA 2020), Online
As it is its tradition, *AUTOMATA 2020* will focus on the theory and application of cellular automata and discrete dynamical systems in connection to complexity theory and algorithmic information. There will be special sessions on *Automata in Deep Learning* and *Algorithmic Information Dynamics* with a particular interest in aspects of computability in causation and reprogrammability.
AUTOMATA 2020 is innovating on various fronts given the challenge of climate change we want to reduce the conference Carbon footprint through a virtual attendance option, and also by addressing the underrepresentation of young and minority groups in the field.
10 - 12 August 2020, Workshop on Logics of Dependence and Independence (LoDE 2020), Online

Autumn 2020, Workshop "Philosophy of Science meets Machine Learning", Tübingen, Germany
Machine learning does not only transform businesses and the social sphere, it also fundamentally transforms science and scientific practice. The workshop focuses on that latter issue. It aims to discuss whether and how exactly recent developments in the field of machine learning potentially transform the process of scientific inquiry. For this, it sets out to analyse the field of machine learning through the lenses of philosophy of science, epistemology, research ethics and cognate fields such as sociology of science. The workshop will bring together philosophers from different backgrounds (from formal epistemology to the study of the social dimensions of science) and machine learning researchers.
The workshop is organised by the 'Ethics and Philosophy Lab' of the Cluster of Excellence 'Machine Learning: New Perspectives for Science' at the University of Tübingen.
The workshop planned for June 2020 is postponed - new date will be announced as soon as possible.

18 - 24 September 2020, The Seventh Workshop on Probabilistic Logic Programming (PLP 2020), Online
Probabilistic logic programming (PLP) approaches have received much attention in this century. They address the need to reason about relational domains under uncertainty arising in a variety of application domains, such as bioinformatics, the semantic web, robotics, and many more. Developments in PLP include new languages that combine logic programming with probability theory, as well as algorithms that operate over programs in these formalisms.
PLP will be online this year and will be co-located with ICLP 2020. The workshop encompasses all aspects of combining logic, algorithms, programming and probability, and provides a forum for the exchange of ideas, presentation of results and preliminary work.
Submissions will be managed via EasyChair. Contributions should be prepared in the LNCS style. A mixture of papers are sought including: new results, work in progress as well as technical summaries of recent substantial contributions. Papers presenting new results should be 6-15 pages in length. Work in progress and technical summaries can be shorter (2-5 pages). The workshop proceedings will clearly indicate the type of each paper.

Logical and semantic frameworks are formal languages used to represent logics, languages and systems. These frameworks provide foundations for the formal specification of systems and programming languages, supporting tool development and reasoning.
In response to COVID-19, the program committee and local organization decided to move LSFA 2020 to a full online conference.
27 - 28 August 2020, Workshop "If ifs and ands were pots and pans... Qualitative and quantitative approaches to reasoning and conditionals", Virtual
The workshop brings together new developments in theoretical and experimental investigations on conditionals and reasoning in the areas of philosophy, psychology, logic, and probability theory. Its specific emphasis is on exploring relations between qualitative and quantitative approaches to conditionals - logical (broadly construed) and probabilistic - and their application to the empirical analysis of human reasoning. The event is part of the project 'Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches to Reasoning and Conditionals' at the chair of Prof. Hans Rott in Regensburg.
24 - 28 August 2020, 11th International Conference on the Theory and Application of Diagrams (Diagrams 2020), Online
Diagrams 2020 is the eleventh conference in the biennial series that started in 2000. The multidisciplinary nature of Diagrams means it encompasses: architecture, art, artificial intelligence, biology, cartography, cognitive science, computer science, education, graphic design, history of science, human-computer interaction, linguistics, logic, mathematics, philosophy, psychology, and software modelling. The conference attracts a large number of researchers from these interrelated fields, positioning Diagrams as the major international event in the area.
Unfortunately, due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the physical conference in Estonia will not take place. Instead of a physical meeting, the Steering Committee have agreed that Diagrams 2020 will be held virtually through online talks.

29 August 2020, 8th Workshop "What can FCA do for AI?" (FCA4AI 2020), Online via Zoom
Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematically well-founded theory aimed at data analysis and classification. FCA allows one to build a concept lattice and a system of dependencies (implications and association rules) which can be used for many AI needs, e.g. knowledge processing, knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning, ontology engineering as well as information retrieval, recommendation, social network analysis and text processing. Recent years have been witnessing increased scientific activity around FCA, in particular a strand of work emerged that is aimed at extending the possibilities of plain FCA w.r.t. knowledge processing. While the capabilities of FCA are extended, new possibilities are arising in the framework of FCA.
The 8th FCA4AI workshop, co-located with ECAI 2020, is (as usual) dedicated to discuss such issues, and in particular:
- How can FCA support AI activities in knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning, machine learning, natural language processing...
- By contrast, how the current developments in AI can be integrated within FCA to help AI researchers to solve complex problems in their domain.
29 August - 8 September 2020, 24th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2020), Virtual
The biennial European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI) is Europe's premier venue for presenting scientific results in AI. Under the general theme 'Paving the way towards Human-Centric AI', the 24th edition of ECAI was to be held in Santiago de Compostela, a UNESCO's World Heritage City which is the destination of unique Routes that cross all Europe since the Middle Ages.
Since the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the mobility constraints still in place make it difficult planning, the organizers believe that the most reasonable decision is to hold ECAI 2020 fully online, and have announced the new Digital ECAI2020.

30 August 2020, ECAI Workshop on Computational Argumentation & Cognition (COGNITAR 2020), Virtual
This workshop will aim to bring together researchers whose interests bridge between AI and other disciplines such as Cognitive Science, Language and Philosophy, to study how computational argumentation can form an underlying theoretical and practical basis for modeling cognition and building human-centric AI systems.
The main general questions that will concern the workshop are:
- Can argumentation provide the basis for computational models of human reasoning that are cognitively adequate?
- How can we form a synthesis between computational argumentation and theories of cognition that will give us models of computational cognition for the development of AI systems?
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, ECAI-2020 will be held as a virtual conference, and so will the COGNITAR-2020 workshop.

31 August - 4 September 2020, Workshop Continuity, Computability, Constructivity - From Logic to Algorithms (CCC 2020) , Online
CCC is a workshop series that brings together researchers applying logical methods to the development of algorithms, with a particular focus on computation with infinite data, where issues of continuity, computability and constructivity play major roles. Specific topics include exact real number computation, computable analysis, effective descriptive set theory, constructive analysis, and related areas. The overall aim is to apply logical methods in these disciplines to provide a sound foundation for obtaining exact and provably correct algorithms for computations with real numbers and other continuous data, which are of increasing importance in safety critical applications and scientific computation.
The workshop was planned to take place in Faro, Portugal. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the workshop will now be online.
31 August - 7 October 2020, The Joint Ontology Workshops Episode 6 (JOWO 2020), Virtual
The Joint Ontology WOrkshops (JOWO) is a venue of workshops that, together, address a wide spectrum of topics related to ontology research, ranging from Cognitive Science to Knowledge Representation, Natural Language Processing, Artificial Intelligence, Logic, Philosophy, and Linguistics.
Workshops and tutorials at JOWO 2020 are events whose scientific program is independently established by the workshop organizers. Workshops can be events that provide a forum for the discussion of topics broadly related to ontologies, formal ontology, and knowledge management and their application in information science or other areas. JOWO is especially suitable for interdisciplinary and innovative formats.
At the JOWO 2020 "The Bolzano Summer of Knowledge" Edition, workshops and tutorials will be taking place virtually between August 31st and October 7th 2020, and will be affiliated with the conferences EKAW, FOIS, and ICBO.
