*******EARLY REGISTRATION DEADLINE: SEPT 5th *****
(extended from Sept 2nd)
Third International Conference on Knowledge Capture
October 2-5, 2005
Banff, Canada
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
See http://www.kcap05.org
Information in all forms is increasingly available, but using it
requires a range of technologies for acquiring and representing that
information. These technologies constitute knowledge capture, a field
which studies the extraction of useful knowledge from the vast and diverse
set of currently available information sources, as well as directly from users.
Driven by the demands for knowledge-based applications and the unprecedented
availability of information, the study of knowledge capture has a renewed
importance.
K-CAP 2005 will provide a forum in which to bring together disparate research
communities whose members are interested in capturing knowledge from
many sources and in creating representations that can be useful for reasoning.
Conference Highlights:
- K-CAP 2005 will showcase 21 outstanding technical presentations on
many aspects of knowledge capture. For titles and authors, see:
www.kcap05.org
- K-CAP 2005 will include two invited talks by:
- Dr. Pat Hayes, IHMC, University of West Florida, USA
- Dr. Carole Goble, Dept Computer Science, University of Manchester, UK
- An imaginative and enjoyable conference program, including a panel
discussion, poster session, best paper awards, banquet, and the option
for a local hike one lunchtime. See www.kcap05.org for details.
