Motivation:

Information modelling is becoming increasingly important for researchers,
designers, and users of information systems with artificial intelligence.
The amount and complexity of information, the number of abstraction
levels, and the size of databases and knowledge bases are continuously
growing. Conceptual modelling is one of the sub-areas of information
modelling and AI modelling. The aim of this conference is to bring
together experts from different areas of computer science, AI and other
disciplines who have a common interest in understanding and solving
problems on information modelling and knowledge bases, as well as
applying the results of research to practice. We also aim to recognize
and study new areas of Information modelling, knowledge bases and AI to
which more attention should be paid. Philosophy and logic, cognitive
science, knowledge management, linguistics and cyber-physical modelling
are relevant areas, too. The conference will have three categories of
presentations, i.e. full papers, short papers and position papers.

Background:

The series of European – Japanese Conferences on Information Modelling
and Knowledge Bases (EJC) originally started as a cooperation initiative
between Japan and Finland in 1988 as a continuum to the series of
Scandinavian conferences since 1982. The practical operations were then
organized by professor Ohsuga in Japan and professors Hannu and Hannu
Jaakkola in Finland. The geographical scope was expanded to cover first
Europe and further other countries.

Working principles:

Facilitates discussion, allows enough presentation time, and limits the
number of participants (50) and papers (30).

Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:

1. Conceptual modelling: Modelling and specification languages;
Domain-specific conceptual modelling; Concepts, concept theories and
ontologies; Conceptual modelling of large and heterogeneous systems;
Conceptual modelling of spatial, temporal and semantic data; Methods for
developing, validating and communicating conceptual models.

2. Knowledge and information modelling and discovery: Knowledge
discovery, knowledge representation and knowledge management; Advanced
data mining and analysis methods; Conceptions of knowledge and
information; Modelling information requirements; Intelligent information
systems; Information recognition and information modelling.

3. Linguistic modelling: Models of HCI; Information delivery to users;
Intelligent informal querying; Linguistic foundation of information and
knowledge; Fuzzy linguistic models; Philosophical and linguistic
foundations of conceptual models.

4. Cross-cultural communication and social computing: Cross-cultural
support systems; Integration, evolution and migration of systems;
Collaborative societies; Multicultural web-based software systems;
Intercultural collaboration and support systems; Social computing,
behavior l modelling and prediction.

5. Environmental modelling and engineering: Environmental information
systems (architecture); Spatial, temporal and observational information
systems; Large-scale environmental systems; Collaborative knowledge base
systems; Agent concepts and conceptualization; Hazard prediction,
prevention and steering systems.

6. Multimedia data modelling and systems: Modelling multimedia
information and knowledge; Content-based multimedia data management;
Content-based multimedia retrieval; Privacy and context enhancing
technologies; Semantics and pragmatics of multimedia data; Metadata for
multimedia information systems.

7. AI System Modelling: Cyber and Physical System Modelling; Image
Processing; Natural Language Processing; Computer Vision; Biological
Analysis; Responsible AI.

The total number of participants is limited to 50 (30 papers). We want
to provide enough time for the presentations and discussions. The
conference is an excellent forum for networking with the active research
community on this important topic. The authors must present their paper
at the conference.

All papers (full/short/position) accepted and presented in the
conference are published in the conference preprint (e-book having ISSN
/ ISBN) by the local organizers (distributed in the conference) and
after the conference in the final journal-paper publication.

After the conference, authors have the opportunity to improve their
papers based on the feedback at the conference. The final publication is
published in the Series “Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence” by IOS
Press (Amsterdam). The books “Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases
Vol. n” are edited by the Editing Committee. It has the right to
propose obligatory improvements as a precondition to the publication. It
has the right to withdraw papers that do not follow the given guidelines
and technical style. In addition to IOS press publication, we have
invitation to publish some  papers in ECTI-Transactions on Computer and
Information Technology (ECTI-CIT). The papers are selected by the
Editorial Board of the Journal.

In all editorial issues, please contact the editing committee.
