FGWM 2019 - Call for Papers

Workshop on „Knowledge Management“ (Fach­gruppe Wissens­management/SIG Knowledge Management)

at LWDA 2019, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, 30.09.-02.10.2019 (https://hu.berlin/lwda2019)

The annual workshop FGWM is organized by the Special Interest Group on Knowledge Management of the German Informatics society (GI). It aims at enabling and promoting the exchange of innovative ideas and practical applications in the field of knowledge and experience management.

All submissions of current research from this and adjacent areas are welcome, in particular, work in progress contributions. The latter can serve as a basis for discussions among the participants and provide young researchers with feedback. We also invite researchers to contribute to the workshop by re-submitting accepted conference papers to share their current work with the research community. Note that re-submissions are presented at the workshop but are not included in the proceedings.
Topics of Interest

Submissions from all areas contributing to the development and application of knowledge and experience management systems are welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

New frontiers in Knowledge Management and Experience Knowledge
Applications of Knowledge Management, for example semantic applications, linked data, smart companion technologies, diagnosis, configuration, agent-based applications
Reasoning approaches, for example case-based reasoning, probabilistic reasoning, logic-based approaches and text-based reasoning
Knowledge representation, for example cases, semantic networks, ontologies, context, and logics
Knowledge engineering, for example acquisition methods, quality assessment, versioning, maintenance, and visualization
User experience management and usability knowledge
Design and evaluation of knowledge systems
Practical experiences (“lessons learned”) with IT-aided KM approaches
Integration of Knowledge Management and research/business processes
Combination of Knowledge Management with other systems and concepts (e.g. decision support, cloud computing, Big Data)

The official workshop languages are German and English. In particular, contributions can be in English or German but presentations should be in English to ensure that English speaking participants can always follow. Please have a look at the “WM-Workshop Manifesto” below for convincing reasons to submit to and participate in the FG WM-Workshop.
Intended Audience

The target group includes researchers and practitioners who are interested in developing, applying and analyzing knowledge and experience management systems as well as application scenarios. The workshop is also a great and affordable platform for young researchers to present their work to a larger group of researchers and get valuable feedback.
Submission Guidelines

We intend to publish the proceedings as a CEUR Workshop Proceedings volume (http://ceur-ws.org). These proceedings may contain full papers (up to 12 pages LNCS format) and short papers (about 5 pages LNCS format) that went through peer-review.

We also solicit one-pager summaries for re-submissions that were recently published at other renowned conferences. These summaries are not included in the proceedings.

All contributions must be submitted via EasyChair as PDF at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lwda2019

Please select the track “FG-KM” when submitting your paper.

All papers should be formatted with Springer LNCS: href=www.springer.com/computer/lnc.

All workshop participants have to register for the LWDA 2019 conference.
