CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
18th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation
and Reasoning (KR 2021)
November 3-12, 2021 - Virtual
https://kr2021.kbsg.rwth-aachen.de/
*** Registration is free but mandatory (deadline: October 15, 2021) ***
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR) is a well-established and
lively field of research. In KR, a fundamental assumption is that an
agent's knowledge is explicitly represented in a declarative form,
suitable for processing by dedicated reasoning engines. This assumption,
that much of what an agent deals with is knowledge-based, is common in
many modern intelligent systems. Consequently, KR has contributed to
the theory and practice of various areas in AI, including automated
planning and natural language understanding, and to fields beyond AI,
including databases, verification, software engineering, and robotics.
In recent years, KR has contributed also to new and emerging fields,
including the semantic web, computational biology, cyber security, and
the development of software agents.
The KR conference series is the leading forum for timely in-depth
presentation of progress in the theory and principles underlying the
representation and computational management of knowledge.
CONFERENCE FORMAT AND REGISTRATION
KR 2021 will be organized as a virtual conference and welcomes all
researchers interested in KR to participate!

Ontology-based Data Access; Explainability and Interpretability; Natural
Language Understanding; Multimodal and Multilingual Access; Machine to
Machine Communications and Interoperability; Knowledge Extraction and
Ontology Learning from the Web; Multimodal and Multilingual Approach to
Computing; Computational Paradigms and Computational Intelligence;

** Tracks **
The submissions are divided into three tracks, namely the Research Track,
the Trends and Perspectives Track, and the Applications and Deployment
Track. The contributors are advised to choose the track that best suits
their work.
1. The Research Track: The Research Track incorporates papers that present
novel work contributing significantly to the advancement of Semantic
Intelligence. The submissions should list the research gaps and research
contributions filling the said gaps. A section comparing the results of the
research with existing benchmarks is highly desirable.
2. The Trends and Perspectives Track: The Trends and Perspectives Track
explores the state of the art in the mentioned disciplines.
3. The Applications and Deployment Track: The Applications and Deployment
Track accepts papers showcasing the latest advancements and applications of
semantic intelligence. Once any technology or methodology originates from
the research community, its challenges and benefits are explored by its
concrete usage in a practical setting. The application of any research in
real-world use cases sets the stage for its visibility. The Applications
and Deployment Track is exactly for this purpose. This track seeks
submission for applied semantic intelligence. The submissions should list
the benefits; the presented application reaps from SITs. In addition to the
real-world, the Applications and Deployment Track also welcomes Resources
such as the vocabularies, datasets, evaluation benchmarks, and software.
