The increasing adoption of Artificial Intelligence techniques in safety-critical systems, employed in real world scenarios, requires the design of reliable, robust and verifiable methodologies. The combined efforts of notable Italian researchers, that have been collaborating for several years in complementary fields such as specification, verification, and synthesis of reactive systems, artificial intelligence, controller synthesis, etc., has led to the creation of a new research group on Artificial Intelligence and fOrmal VERification, Logic, Automata, and sYnthesis (OVERLAY). The group aims at investigating novel methods and algorithms supporting the design and development of autonomous safety-critical systems.
The workshop, part of the AIxIA 2019 conference, is the first official initiative supported by OVERLAY, presenting the research group and its current results to the Italian AI scientific community. The event aims at establishing a stable, long-term scientific forum on relevant topics connected to the relationships between Artificial Intelligence and Formal Methods, by providing a stimulating environment where researchers can discuss about opportunities and challenges at the border of the two areas.
We elicit the contribution of extended abstracts (4 pages + references) discussing the interaction of Artificial Intelligence and Formal Methods. Contributed papers can present recent results at the border of the two fields, new research directions, challenges and perspectives. Presentation of results recently published in other scientific journals or conferences is welcome.

12 - 14 September 2019, Workshop: Assertion and Proof (WAP 2019), Lecce, Italy
The notion of assertion plays a key inferential role and has a long tradition in logic. It is a key ingredient in most logical systems, either implicitly or explicitly. The idea of assertion thus appears strongly invariant across a range of logical theories, logical methods, and logical notations.
The aim of the workshop is to bring together scholars interested in the analysis of the logical notion of assertion and other related notions such as inference, proof, argument, meaning of logical constants that may receive an assertion-based interpretation.
A satellite event to WAP 2019 is the workshop "Peirce on Assertion".

17 - 20 September 2019, 7th annual conference on Highlights of LOGIC, GAMES, and AUTOMATA (HIGHLIGHTS 2019), Warsaw, Poland
HIGHLIGHTS 2019 is the seventh conference on Highlights of Logic, Games and Automata that aims at integrating the community working in these fields. Papers from these areas are dispersed across many conferences, which makes them difficult to follow. A visit to the Highlights conference should offer a wide picture of the latest research in the field and a chance to meet everybody in the community, not just those who happen to publish in one particular proceedings volume.
The conference is short (from 18 September to the mid-day on 20 September) and it is preceded by the Highlights Tutorial Day (17 September). The participation costs are modest and Warsaw is easy to reach.
Scope: Representative areas include, but are not restricted to: + logic and finite model theory + automata theory + games for logic and verification.
6 - 10 July 2020, 11th International School on Rewriting (ISR 2020), Madrid, Spain
Rewriting is a powerful model of computation that underlies much of declarative programming and is ubiquitous in mathematics, logic, theorem proving, verification, model-checking, compilation, biology, chemistry, physics, etc. The school is aimed at Master and PhD students, researchers and practitioners interested in the use or the study of rewriting and its applications.
We intend to offer on the one hand a basic track on rewriting and on lambda calculus, and on the other hand an advanced track on more specialized topics, related to state-of-the-art research and novel applications. The typical day will contain 4 slots of 90 minutes.
If you are interested in giving a lecture in the advanced track, send us a mail before the deadline above with the following informations: a title, an abstract, an outline of the lecture, some bibliographical references, an expected duration (in number of slots), and whether the lecture includes exercises or experiments.
We encourage applications from both theory and applications and will pay particular attention to submissions on topics not covered in the the last schools.
15 - 20 September 2019, 19th International Workshop on OCL and Textual Modeling (OCL 2019), Munich, Germany
The goal of this workshop is to create a forum where researchers and practitioners interested in building models using OCL or other kinds of textual languages (e.g., OCL, textual MOF, Epsilon, or Alloy) can directly interact, report advances, share results, identify tools for language development, and discuss appropriate standards. In particular, the workshop will encourage discussions for achieving synergy from different modeling language concepts and modeling language use. The close interaction will enable researchers and practitioners to identify common interests and options for potential cooperation.
The workshop will be co-located with MODELS 2019 ACM/IEEE 22nd International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and System.

20 - 24 September 2019, 15th International Reasoning Web Summer School (RW 2019): "Explainable AI", Bolzano, Italy
The 15th Reasoning Web Summer School brings together leading AI researchers to share their ideas and knowledge about how to make AI more explainable. The school is a five-day intensive training course that interleaves lectures and hands-on sessions. Participants learn about exciting new methods and technologies, and at the same time get to know their peers and senior researchers in their area. Our focus topic "Explainable AI" has many ties to formal logic, but it also connects to machine learning, knowledge representation, planning, databases, and formal methods.
RW 2019 is aimed at a wide audience of young post-graduate researchers, most typically early-stage Ph.D. candidates, but also advanced Master students and more senior Ph.D. candidates and PostDocs who want to deepen their knowledge. Basics of knowledge representation and reasoning will be helpful for benefiting from the contents of the school. Reasoning Web is co-located with RuleML+RR 2019, GCAI 2019, and DecisionCAMP 2019, which come together for the Bolzano Rules and Artificial Intelligence Summit (BRAIN).
20 - 25 September 2019, Epistemic Extensions of Logic Programming (EELP 2019), Las Cruces NM, U.S.A.
Several successful logic programming languages have been proposed in the literature. Researchers have long recognized the need for epistemic operators in these languages. 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. The workshop is part of the International Conference of Logic Programming (ICLP) 2019.
20 - 26 September 2019, Fourth International Autumn School "Proof & Computation", Herrsching, Germany

23 - 25 September 2019, Joint Ontology WOrkshops (JOWO 2019), Graz, Austria
The JOWO workshops 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. JOWO is especially suitable for interdisciplinary and innovative formats.
The following workshops are being organized:
- 2nd International Workshop on Bad or Good Ontology (BOG)
- Cognition And OntologieS (CAOS IV)
- Contextual Representations of Events and Objects in Language (CREOL).
- Workshop on Data meets Applied Ontologies in Open Science and Innovation (DAO-SI)
- 10th International Workshop on Formal Ontologies meet Industry (FOMI)
- Workshop on Foundational Ontology (FOUST).
- Ontologies and Data in Life Sciences 2019 (ODLS 2019)
- The Shape of Things (SHAPES 5.0).
- Social, Legal and Economic Entities (SoLEE)
- Second Workshop on INteraction-based Knowledge Sharing (WINKS-2)
- 1st International Workshop on Ontologies for Digital Humanities and their Social Analysis (WODHSA)
- 4th International Workshop on Ontology Modularity, Contextuality, and Evolution (WOMoCoE 2019)
In addition, JOWO 2019 will host five tutorials:
- Data-driven ontology engineering with Relational Concept Analysis (DOnEReCA)
- Introduction to Foundational Ontologies (FOUNT)
- Semantic similarity and machine learning with ontologies.
- SNOMED CT Tutorial
- Top Level Ontologies (ISO/IEC 21838)
23 - 25 September 2019, 1st International Workshop on Ontologies for Digital Humanities and their Social Analysis (WODHSA), Graz, Austria
This workshop is part of The Joint Ontology WOrkshops (JOWO) Episode V. The purpose of the workshop is twofold: on the one hand, to gather original research work about both application and theoretical issues emerging in the elaboration of conceptual models, ontologies, and Semantic Web technologies for the Digital Humanities (DH) and, on the other hand, to collect studies on the philosophical and social impact of such models.
The complementary character of these two kinds of contributions should allow both modelers and users to be more aware of the modeling choices behind models and applications and of the theories that constitute the background of such choices. This would enhance transparency and reliability of the adopted models and thus understanding and trust on the side of stakeholders and users.
23 - 25 September 2019, Second Workshop on INteraction-based Knowledge Sharing (WINKS-2), Graz, Austria
This Second Workshop on INteraction-based Knowledge Sharing (WINKS-2) collocated with JOWO 2019 is aimed at researchers and practitioners investigating issues related to aspects of (autonomous) knowledge sharing, where the integration of knowledge is inherently interaction-based, irrespective of whether the interaction is machine to machine, or human to machine.
Gradually expanding, distributed systems heighten the need of dynamic interactive knowledge-sharing processes and ever more sophisticated mechanisms are used to acquire and elicit knowledge. A paradigm shift has emerged that views knowledge creation, curation and evolution as a collaborative and interactive process between autonomous entities. As a highly interdisciplinary workshop, WINKS-2 invites submissions that address the fundamental issues and challenges posed by interaction-based approaches to knowledge sharing. At the same time, we are interested in submissions that provide solutions for allowing knowledge sharing interactively, with a particular focus on the processes, mechanisms and protocols underlying the proposed solution.
23 - 25 September 2019, Workshop on Ontology of Social, Legal and Economic Entities (SoLEE 2019), Graz, Austria
Understanding the ontological nature of social, legal and economic concepts and institutions is crucial for providing principled modelling in many important domains such as enterprise modelling, business processes, and social ontology. A significant number of fundamental concepts that are ubiquitous in economics, social, and legal sciences - such as value, risk, capability, good, service, exchange, transaction, competition, social norm, group, institution - have only recently been approached from a specifically ontological perspective. It is therefore important to offer a venue to gather the recent contributions to this topic.
This workshop is part of the Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO 2019), and relates mainly to two previous events (SoLE-BD and Ontology of Economics 2018). The goals of the workshop are:
- to collect approaches to deal with social, legal and economic entities in foundational and applied ontologies,
- discuss applications of these approaches to social, legal and economic entities in ontologies for biomedicine and business informatics, and
- serve as a meeting point for stakeholders from applied ontology and the respective domain disciplines.
23 - 25 September 2019, 4th International Workshop on Cognition and Ontologies (CAOS 2019), Graz, Austria
The purpose of the workshop is to bridge the gap between the cognitive sciences and research on ontologies and, thus, to create a venue for researchers interested in interdisciplinary aspects of knowledge representation. More specifically CAOS addresses the difficult question of how key cognitive phenomena and concepts (and the involved terminology) can be found across language, psychology and reasoning and how this can be formally and ontologically understood, analyzed and represented.
We aim to address to an interdisciplinary audience, by inviting scholars in philosophy, computer science, logic, conceptual modelling, knowledge representation, and cognitive science to contribute to the discussion.
This workshop is part of The Joint Ontology Workshops JOWO 2019.
23 - 25 September 2019, 2nd International Workshop on Bad Or Good Ontology (BOG 2019), Graz, Austria
As ontologies are used in more domains and applications and as they grow in size, the consequences of bad ontology design become more critical. Bad ontologies may be inconsistent, have unwanted consequences, be ridden with anti-patterns, or simply be incomprehensible. In general, bad ontologies present design mistakes that make their use and maintenance problematic or impossible.
This workshop, part of the Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO 2019), aims to bring together research on all aspects to bad or good ontology design, including use cases and systematic reviews of bad or good ontology design, techniques and tools for diagnosing, explaining, and repairing bad ontologies, and approaches or benchmarks for evaluating such techniques.
23 - 25 September 2019, 3rd Workshop on Foundational Ontology (FOUST III) , Graz, Austria
Foundational ontologies are attempts to systematise those categories of thought or reality which are common to all or almost all subject-matters. Commonly considered examples of such categories include 'object', 'quality', 'function', 'role', 'process', 'event', 'time', and 'place'. Amongst existing foundational ontologies, there is both a substantial measure of agreement and some dramatic disagreements. There is currently no uniform consensus concerning how a foundational ontology should be organised, how far its 'reach' should be (e.g., is the distinction between physical and non-physical entities sufficiently fundamental to be included here?), and even what role it should play in relation to more specialised domain ontologies.
The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers to present work on specific foundational ontologies as well as foundational ontologies in general and their relations to each other and to the wider ontological enterprise. The FOUST III workshop will be co-located with the Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO 2019).
23 - 26 September 2019, German conference on Artificial Intelligence (KI 2019), Kassel, Germany
KI 2019 is the 42nd edition of the German Conference on Artificial Intelligence organized in cooperation with the AI Chapter of the German Society for Informatics (GI-FBKI).
KI traditionally brings together academic and industrial researchers from all areas of AI, providing an ideal place for exchanging news and research results of intelligent system technology. While KI is primarily attended by researchers from Germany and neighboring countries, it warmly welcomes international participation.
23 - 26 September 2019, 8th Workshop on Dynamics of Knowledge and Belief (DKB-2019) and 7th Workshop KI & Kognition (KIK-2019): Formal and Cognitive Reasoning , Kassel, Germany
Information for real life AI applications is usually pervaded by uncertainty and subject to change, and thus demands for non-classical reasoning approaches. At the same time, psychological findings indicate that human reasoning cannot be completely described by classical logical systems. Sources of explanations are incomplete knowledge, incorrect beliefs, or inconsistencies. A wide range of reasoning mechanism has to be considered, such as analogical or defeasible reasoning. The field of knowledge representation and reasoning offers a rich palette of methods for uncertain reasoning both to describe human reasoning and to model AI approaches.
The aim of this series of workshops is to address recent challenges and to present novel approaches to uncertain reasoning and belief change in their broad senses, and in particular provide a forum for research work linking different paradigms of reasoning.
23 - 27 September 2019, CPS Summer School 2019 "Designing Cyber-Physical Systems - From concepts to implementation", Alghero, Italy
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are complex and autonomous ensembles of different components that interact to offer smart and adaptive functionalities. These systems are increasingly used in a variety of applications with a growing market, potentially bringing about significant social benefits. However, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and there area several new challenges and trade-offs to face when designing CPS, especially since they should be able to adapt to the changing environments, or heal themselves. Uncertain operation environments and interactions with humans as users and/or as operators complicate the scenarios of these ever increasingly pervasive systems.
The CPS summer school is targeted at students, research scientists, and R&D experts from academia and industry, who want to learn about CPS engineering and applications. The program is composed of both lectures and practical sessions, covering all the design phases of CPS (i.e., from concept to the definition of the final system and the discussion of the key challenges).
20 - 24 September 2019, 35th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP 2019), Las Cruces NM, U.S.A.
Since the first conference held in Marseille in 1982, ICLP has been the premier international event for presenting research in logic programming. Contributions are sought in all areas of logic programming, including but not restricted to Foundations, Languages, Declarative programming, Implementation, Related Paradigms and Synergies, and Applications.
Besides the main track, ICLP 2019 will host additional tracks and special sessions:
- Applications Track
- Sister Conferences and Journal Presentation Track
- Special Session: Women in Logic Programming
- Research Challenges in Logic Programming Track
20 - 24 September 2019, 15th International Reasoning Web Summer School (RW 2019): "Explainable AI", Bolzano, Italy
The 15th Reasoning Web Summer School brings together leading AI researchers to share their ideas and knowledge about how to make AI more explainable. The school is a five-day intensive training course that interleaves lectures and hands-on sessions. Participants learn about exciting new methods and technologies, and at the same time get to know their peers and senior researchers in their area. Our focus topic "Explainable AI" has many ties to formal logic, but it also connects to machine learning, knowledge representation, planning, databases, and formal methods.
RW 2019 is aimed at a wide audience of young post-graduate researchers, most typically early-stage Ph.D. candidates, but also advanced Master students and more senior Ph.D. candidates and PostDocs who want to deepen their knowledge. Basics of knowledge representation and reasoning will be helpful for benefiting from the contents of the school. Reasoning Web is co-located with RuleML+RR 2019, GCAI 2019, and DecisionCAMP 2019, which come together for the Bolzano Rules and Artificial Intelligence Summit (BRAIN).
20 - 25 September 2019, Epistemic Extensions of Logic Programming (EELP 2019), Las Cruces NM, U.S.A.
Several successful logic programming languages have been proposed in the literature. Researchers have long recognized the need for epistemic operators in these languages. 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. The workshop is part of the International Conference of Logic Programming (ICLP) 2019.
20 - 26 September 2019, Fourth International Autumn School "Proof & Computation", Herrsching, Germany
The aim of the autumn school is to bring together young researchers in the field of Foundations of Mathematics, Computer Science and Philosophy. Scope: Predicative Foundations, Constructive Mathematics and Type Theory, Computation in Higher Types, and Extraction of Programs from Proofs.
Courses include Ingo Blechschmidt on Generalized Spaces for Constructive Algebra, Stefania Centrone on Proof Theory, Thierry Coquand on Applications of Type Theory, Anton Freund on Dilators, Tatsuji Kawai on Concepts of Continuity, and Dominique Larchey on Extraction of Programs in Coq. There will be an opportunity to form ad-hoc groups working on specific projects, but also to discuss in more general terms the vision of constructing correct programs from proofs.
23 - 25 September 2019, Joint Ontology WOrkshops (JOWO 2019), Graz, Austria
The JOWO workshops 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. JOWO is especially suitable for interdisciplinary and innovative formats.
The following workshops are being organized:
- 2nd International Workshop on Bad or Good Ontology (BOG)
- Cognition And OntologieS (CAOS IV)
- Contextual Representations of Events and Objects in Language (CREOL).
- Workshop on Data meets Applied Ontologies in Open Science and Innovation (DAO-SI)
- 10th International Workshop on Formal Ontologies meet Industry (FOMI)
- Workshop on Foundational Ontology (FOUST).
- Ontologies and Data in Life Sciences 2019 (ODLS 2019)
- The Shape of Things (SHAPES 5.0).
- Social, Legal and Economic Entities (SoLEE)
- Second Workshop on INteraction-based Knowledge Sharing (WINKS-2)
- 1st International Workshop on Ontologies for Digital Humanities and their Social Analysis (WODHSA)
- 4th International Workshop on Ontology Modularity, Contextuality, and Evolution (WOMoCoE 2019)
In addition, JOWO 2019 will host five tutorials:
- Data-driven ontology engineering with Relational Concept Analysis (DOnEReCA)
- Introduction to Foundational Ontologies (FOUNT)
- Semantic similarity and machine learning with ontologies.
- SNOMED CT Tutorial
- Top Level Ontologies (ISO/IEC 21838)
23 - 25 September 2019, 1st International Workshop on Ontologies for Digital Humanities and their Social Analysis (WODHSA), Graz, Austria
This workshop is part of The Joint Ontology WOrkshops (JOWO) Episode V. The purpose of the workshop is twofold: on the one hand, to gather original research work about both application and theoretical issues emerging in the elaboration of conceptual models, ontologies, and Semantic Web technologies for the Digital Humanities (DH) and, on the other hand, to collect studies on the philosophical and social impact of such models.
The complementary character of these two kinds of contributions should allow both modelers and users to be more aware of the modeling choices behind models and applications and of the theories that constitute the background of such choices. This would enhance transparency and reliability of the adopted models and thus understanding and trust on the side of stakeholders and users.
23 - 25 September 2019, Second Workshop on INteraction-based Knowledge Sharing (WINKS-2), Graz, Austria
This Second Workshop on INteraction-based Knowledge Sharing (WINKS-2) collocated with JOWO 2019 is aimed at researchers and practitioners investigating issues related to aspects of (autonomous) knowledge sharing, where the integration of knowledge is inherently interaction-based, irrespective of whether the interaction is machine to machine, or human to machine.
Gradually expanding, distributed systems heighten the need of dynamic interactive knowledge-sharing processes and ever more sophisticated mechanisms are used to acquire and elicit knowledge. A paradigm shift has emerged that views knowledge creation, curation and evolution as a collaborative and interactive process between autonomous entities. As a highly interdisciplinary workshop, WINKS-2 invites submissions that address the fundamental issues and challenges posed by interaction-based approaches to knowledge sharing. At the same time, we are interested in submissions that provide solutions for allowing knowledge sharing interactively, with a particular focus on the processes, mechanisms and protocols underlying the proposed solution.
23 - 25 September 2019, Workshop on Ontology of Social, Legal and Economic Entities (SoLEE 2019), Graz, Austria
Understanding the ontological nature of social, legal and economic concepts and institutions is crucial for providing principled modelling in many important domains such as enterprise modelling, business processes, and social ontology. A significant number of fundamental concepts that are ubiquitous in economics, social, and legal sciences - such as value, risk, capability, good, service, exchange, transaction, competition, social norm, group, institution - have only recently been approached from a specifically ontological perspective. It is therefore important to offer a venue to gather the recent contributions to this topic.
This workshop is part of the Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO 2019), and relates mainly to two previous events (SoLE-BD and Ontology of Economics 2018). The goals of the workshop are:
- to collect approaches to deal with social, legal and economic entities in foundational and applied ontologies,
- discuss applications of these approaches to social, legal and economic entities in ontologies for biomedicine and business informatics, and
- serve as a meeting point for stakeholders from applied ontology and the respective domain disciplines.
23 - 25 September 2019, 4th International Workshop on Cognition and Ontologies (CAOS 2019), Graz, Austria
The purpose of the workshop is to bridge the gap between the cognitive sciences and research on ontologies and, thus, to create a venue for researchers interested in interdisciplinary aspects of knowledge representation. More specifically CAOS addresses the difficult question of how key cognitive phenomena and concepts (and the involved terminology) can be found across language, psychology and reasoning and how this can be formally and ontologically understood, analyzed and represented.
We aim to address to an interdisciplinary audience, by inviting scholars in philosophy, computer science, logic, conceptual modelling, knowledge representation, and cognitive science to contribute to the discussion.
This workshop is part of The Joint Ontology Workshops JOWO 2019.
23 - 25 September 2019, 2nd International Workshop on Bad Or Good Ontology (BOG 2019), Graz, Austria
As ontologies are used in more domains and applications and as they grow in size, the consequences of bad ontology design become more critical. Bad ontologies may be inconsistent, have unwanted consequences, be ridden with anti-patterns, or simply be incomprehensible. In general, bad ontologies present design mistakes that make their use and maintenance problematic or impossible.
This workshop, part of the Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO 2019), aims to bring together research on all aspects to bad or good ontology design, including use cases and systematic reviews of bad or good ontology design, techniques and tools for diagnosing, explaining, and repairing bad ontologies, and approaches or benchmarks for evaluating such techniques.
23 - 25 September 2019, 3rd Workshop on Foundational Ontology (FOUST III) , Graz, Austria
Foundational ontologies are attempts to systematise those categories of thought or reality which are common to all or almost all subject-matters. Commonly considered examples of such categories include 'object', 'quality', 'function', 'role', 'process', 'event', 'time', and 'place'. Amongst existing foundational ontologies, there is both a substantial measure of agreement and some dramatic disagreements. There is currently no uniform consensus concerning how a foundational ontology should be organised, how far its 'reach' should be (e.g., is the distinction between physical and non-physical entities sufficiently fundamental to be included here?), and even what role it should play in relation to more specialised domain ontologies.
The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers to present work on specific foundational ontologies as well as foundational ontologies in general and their relations to each other and to the wider ontological enterprise. The FOUST III workshop will be co-located with the Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO 2019).
23 - 26 September 2019, German conference on Artificial Intelligence (KI 2019), Kassel, Germany
KI 2019 is the 42nd edition of the German Conference on Artificial Intelligence organized in cooperation with the AI Chapter of the German Society for Informatics (GI-FBKI).
KI traditionally brings together academic and industrial researchers from all areas of AI, providing an ideal place for exchanging news and research results of intelligent system technology. While KI is primarily attended by researchers from Germany and neighboring countries, it warmly welcomes international participation.
23 - 26 September 2019, 8th Workshop on Dynamics of Knowledge and Belief (DKB-2019) and 7th Workshop KI & Kognition (KIK-2019): Formal and Cognitive Reasoning , Kassel, Germany
Information for real life AI applications is usually pervaded by uncertainty and subject to change, and thus demands for non-classical reasoning approaches. At the same time, psychological findings indicate that human reasoning cannot be completely described by classical logical systems. Sources of explanations are incomplete knowledge, incorrect beliefs, or inconsistencies. A wide range of reasoning mechanism has to be considered, such as analogical or defeasible reasoning. The field of knowledge representation and reasoning offers a rich palette of methods for uncertain reasoning both to describe human reasoning and to model AI approaches.
The aim of this series of workshops is to address recent challenges and to present novel approaches to uncertain reasoning and belief change in their broad senses, and in particular provide a forum for research work linking different paradigms of reasoning.
23 - 27 September 2019, CPS Summer School 2019 "Designing Cyber-Physical Systems - From concepts to implementation", Alghero, Italy
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are complex and autonomous ensembles of different components that interact to offer smart and adaptive functionalities. These systems are increasingly used in a variety of applications with a growing market, potentially bringing about significant social benefits. However, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and there area several new challenges and trade-offs to face when designing CPS, especially since they should be able to adapt to the changing environments, or heal themselves. Uncertain operation environments and interactions with humans as users and/or as operators complicate the scenarios of these ever increasingly pervasive systems.
The CPS summer school is targeted at students, research scientists, and R&D experts from academia and industry, who want to learn about CPS engineering and applications. The program is composed of both lectures and practical sessions, covering all the design phases of CPS (i.e., from concept to the definition of the final system and the discussion of the key challenges).
