K-CAP 2003
Call for Workshop Proposals
The K-CAP 2003 Program Committee invites proposals for the Workshop Program
for K-CAP 2003, to be held in Sanibel, Florida, USA.
Workshops will be held on October 25 and 26th, 2003, immediately after the end of the main conference. Note that this year K-CAP'2003 is held in conjunction with the 2nd International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2003).
K-CAP workshops will provide an informal setting
where workshop participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical
topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange of ideas. Our aim for the workshop
programme is to promote and collect multidisciplinary research directions and
potentially interesting technologies for efficiently capturing knowledge
from a variety of sources. Members from all research areas related to
knowledge capture are invited to submit workshop proposals. We particularly welcome workshops
at discipline boundaries.
To encourage interaction and a broad exchange of ideas, each
workshop will be limited to 30 participants and ample time will
be allotted for general discussion.
