JKAW94
The Third Japanese Knowledge Acquisition for Knowledge-Based
Systems Workshop
Sponsored by
Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence
Supported by
Advanced Research Laboratory, Hitachi, Ltd.
In Cooperation with
American Association for Artificial Intelligence
Information Processing Society of Japan
Japan Society for Software Science and Technology
The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication
Engineers
Venue & Date
Advanced Research Laboratory, Hitachi Ltd. (Hatoyama)
November 7 - 9, 1994
A problem in the process of building knowledge-based systems is
acquiring and modeling appropriate problem-solving knowledge. The
objective of this workshop is to assemble theoreticians and
practitioners of AI who recognize the need for developing methods
and systems that assist the knowledge acquisition process.
A major goal of the workshop is to encourage vigorous interaction
and exchange of idea. Consequently, the workshop participation will
be kept small - about 50 participants. Persons not submitting
papers can also request to participate. Authors are invited to
formulate an issue that would be useful to discuss. Software
demonstrations related to presented papers are also encouraged.
Best paper awards are available for foreign students to cover a
part of their travel expenses (100,000 yen/person).
Papers are invited for consideration in all aspects of knowledge
acquisition for knowledge-based systems, including (but not
restricted to):
o Languages and frameworks for knowledge and knowledge modeling
o Tools and techniques for knowledge modeling
o Tools and techniques for sustained knowledge acquisition,
knowledge refinement and knowledge validation
o Fundamental views on knowledge that affect the knowledge
acquisition process and the use of knowledge in knowledge
engineering
o Integration of knowledge acquisition and machine learning
o Integration of knowledge acquisition techniques within a single
system; integration of knowledge acquisition systems with other
systems (hypermedia, database management systems, simulators,
spreadsheets ...)
o Methods and techniques for sharing and reusing knowledge and
knowledge models
Five copies of a draft paper (up to 20 pages) should be sent to
Riichiro Mizoguchi (see the address below) before May 31, 1994.
Acceptance notices will be mailed by August 31, 1994. Camera-ready
copies should be returned before October 10, 1994. The
proceedings will be published and distributed at the workshop.
