1st CALL FOR PAPERS
10th International Conference on WORDS 2015
Kiel, Germany
September 14-18, 2015
http://words2015.uni-kiel.de/
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT DATES:
Submission deadline: April 17, 2015
Notification of authors: May 27, 2015
Deadline for final versions: June 10, 2015
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

WORDS is a biannual international conference covering the mathematical
theory of words (sequences of symbols) from all points of view:
combinatorial, algebraic, algorithmic, as well as its applications to
biology, linguistics, physics, and others.

The previous WORDS conferences have taken place in Rouen (1997, 1999),
Palermo (2001), Turku (2003, 2013), Montreal (2005), Marseille (2007),
Salerno (2009), Prague (2011). This year we celebrate the 10th edition of
WORDS.

Please mark the conference dates in your agendas for 2015.

INVITED SPEAKERS:
J?rg Endrullis (Amsterdam), Markus Lohrey (Siegen), Jean N?raud (Rouen),
Dominique Perrin (Paris), Micha?l Rao (Lyon), Thomas Stoll (Nancy).

For WORDS 2015, we are looking for original contributions on the topics of
the conference, in the form of extended abstracts, for publication in a
refereed proceedings volume published in the Lecture Notes in Computer
Science series of the Springer-Verlag. We particularly invite papers
establishing connections between different parts of the research community.

In the tradition of the previous WORDS conferences, authors are also
invited to submit high level contributions, which might not meet the
requirements of the proceedings volume, for publication in a local
abstract-booklet.

The submissions for WORDS 2015 should be in PDF format (maximum 12 pages
using the LNCS style; proofs omitted due to space constraints may be put
into an appendix, to be read by the reviewers at their discretion). Authors
who wish their paper to be considered for inclusion in the LNCS volume must
explicitly declare so during the submission process.

The submission site is open:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=words2015

The PROGRAMME COMMITTEE, that will select the papers to be presented at the
conference, consists of:
Maxime Crochemore (London), Juhani Karhum?ki (Turku), Dirk Nowotka (Kiel -
chair), Stepan Holub (Prague), Antonio Restivo (Palermo), Manfred
Kufleitner (Stuttgart), Gad Landau (Haifa), Michel Rigo (Liege), James
Currie (Winnipeg), Mikhail V. Volkov (Ekaterinburg), Wojciech Plandowski
(Warsaw), Luca Zamboni (Lyon).

The web-site of the conference is: http://words2015.uni-kiel.de/
Questions regarding the conference can be addressed to the organisers (Dirk
Nowotka, Florin Manea) via E-mail:

*Post proceedings of the workshop will be published in a special

Different paradigms for knowledge representation and their subsequent
manipulation by dedicated reasoning systems have been successfully
studied in the past. Nevertheless, new challenges, problems and issues
have appeared in the context of knowledge representation in AI that
involve the logical manipulation of increasingly large information sets
(see for example Semantic Web, the Open Linked Data initiative, Social
Networks etc.) Therefore, research into KRR must move towards
investigating structures for representation optimally manipulated to
perform large scale reasoning, given very new and different constraints
to those existing only few years ago.

Included in this new generation of KRR systems are graph-based knowledge
representation formalisms. Such graph-based techniques have been
successfully deployed in different research areas as dedicated
formalisms. The advantages of graph-based KRR techniques are three-fold:
(1) graphs provide a natural paradigm for modeling domains with a very
complex structure; (2) a graph-based knowledge representation allows for
a very intuitive graphical explanation of the knowledge reasoning
process and (3) a graph-based knowledge representation typically allows
for structure-based optimization of the reasoning process. Graph-based
knowledge representation and reasoning is thus a growing area of
research, spanning across different domains, with more and more
important contributions appearing over the last few years. It is the
investigation of further developments of KRR graph techniques that we
address within this workshop.

The workshop welcomes contributions on graph-based representation, query
and reasoning paradigms (e.g. Baysian Networks (BNs), Semantic Networks
(SNs), RDF/S, SPARQL \& RIF, Conceptual Graphs (CGs), Formal Concept
Analysis (FCA), Euler Diagrams, CP-Nets, GAI-Nets, etc.) from a
theoretical and application viewpoint. The papers will be judged from
two perspectives: technical and application. Technical results will
include graph theory based results for novel structures for
representation, extensions of existing structures for added
expressivity, conciseness, optimisation algorithms for reasoning,
reasoning explanation mechanisms etc. Papers reporting on application
experience will be expected to demonstrate the benefits of the proposed
solutions. Examples of such domains include Semantic Web, Grid
Computing, BioInformatics, Multi Agent Systems, Recommender Systems etc.
The workshop is expected to bring together people from different
research communities that are actively pursuing this line of research.
We hope that the presentation of different perspectives on employing
graphs for knowledge representation and reasoning will be mutually
enriching and will stimulate further research.
