Call For Papers

The conference welcomes contributions that address graph-based representation and reasoning paradigms (e.g. Bayesian Networks (BNs), Semantic Networks (SNs), RDF(S), Conceptual Graphs (CGs), Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), CP-Nets, GAI-Nets, Graph Databases, Diagrams, etc.) from a modelling, theoretical and application viewpoint:

  • Modelling results will investigate concrete real world needs for graph-based representation, how certain use cases are of interest to the graph community, how using graphs can bring added (business) value, what kind of graph representation is needed for a given case, etc.

  • Technical results will include fundamental graph theory based results for novel structures for representation, extensions of existing structures for added expressivity, conciseness, optimisation algorithms for reasoning, reasoning explanation, etc.

  • Papers reporting on application experience will be expected to demonstrate the benefits of the graph-based proposed solutions in the context of the use case studied with respect to other possible solutions, where available.

    The main research topics are:

  • Knowledge Management,

  • Knowledge Architectures,

  • Reasoning under Inconsistency,

  • Knowledge Representation and Uncertainty,

  • Contextual Logic,

  • Constraint Satisfaction,

  • Decision Making,

  • Argumentation,

  • Ontologies,

  • Semantic Web,

  • Web of Data,

  • Web 2.0,

  • Conceptual Knowledge Acquisition,

  • Data Mining,

  • Text Mining,

  • Natural Language Processing,

  • Linguistics,

  • Metaphoric, Cultural or Semiotic Considerations,

  • Resource Allocation and Agreement Technologies.
