22st International Workshop on Description Logics (DL 2009)
CALL FOR PAPERS
Oxford, United Kingdom
27-30 July 2009
http://dl.kr.org/dl2009/
The DL workshop is the major annual event of the description logic
research community. The workshop is thought as a gathering forum to
meet, discuss and exchange experiences among all those, both in the
academia and industry, who are interested in description logics and
their applications.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT DATES
Paper submission deadline: 20 April 2009 (strict!)
Notification of acceptance: 01 June 2009
Camera ready papers due: 22 June 2009
DL'07 Workshop: 27-30 July 2008 (3 1/2 days)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
WORKSHOP SCOPE
We invite contributions on all aspects of description logics,
such as
* foundations of description logics, including expressive power,
decidability and complexity of reasoning, novel inference problems,
and reasoning techniques for solving these problems;
* extensions of description logics, including, but not limited to,
closed-world and nonmonotonic reasoning, defaults, epistemic
reasoning, temporal and spatial reasoning, procedural knowledge, and
query languages;
* integration of description logics with other formalisms, such as
object-oriented representation languages, database query languages,
constraint-based programming, logic programming, and rule-based
systems;
* use of description logics in applications or areas such as ontology
engineering, ontology languages, databases, semi-structured data,
document management, natural language, learning, planning, semantic
web, and grid computing;
* building systems based on description logics, with special emphasis
on optimization and implementation techniques; and
* tools that exploit description logic reasoning, such as ontology
editors, database schema design, query optimization, and data
integration tools.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSION DETAILS
We invite submissions of papers in Springer LNCS style, see
