************************************ Webpage: https://www.springer.com/journal/10472/updates/18533194 Deadline: March 31, 2021 Twitter: @iccs_confs ************************************ This Special Issue grew out of the International Conference on Conceptual Structures “Ontologies and Concepts i n Mind and Machine” (ICCS 2020) and focuses on the formal analysis and representation of conceptual knowledge, at the crossroads of artificial i ntelligence, human cognition, computational l inguistics, and related areas of computer science and cognitive science. Recently, graph-based knowledge representation and reasoning (KRR) paradigms are getting more and more attention. With the rise of quasi-autonomous AI, graph-based representations provide a vehicle for making machine cognition explicit to i ts human users. Conversely, graphical and graph-based models can provide a rigorous way of expressing i ntuitive notions i n computable frameworks. The aim of the ICCS 2020 conference i s to build upon i ts l ong-standing expertise i n graph-based KRR and focus on providing modeling, formal, and application results of graph-based systems. The Special Issue welcomes contributions from a modeling, application, and theoretical viewpoint. Topics include but are n ot l imited to: ● Graph representations and analysis ○ Existential and Conceptual Graphs ○ Graph-based models for human reasoning ○ Social network analysis ○ Formal Concept Analysis ○ Philosophical, neural, and didactic i nvestigations of conceptual, graphical representations ● Knowledge acquisition ○ Conceptual knowledge acquisition ○ Data and Text mining ● Beliefs, uncertainty and Inconsistency ○ Human and machine reasoning under i nconsistency ○ Human and machine knowledge representation and uncertainty ○ Automated decision-making and argumentation ○ Preferences ● Knowledge engineering ○ Contextual l ogic ○ Ontologies ○ Knowledge architecture and management ○ Semantic Web, Web of Data, Web 2.0 ○ Conceptual structures i n natural l anguage processing and l inguistics ○ Metaphoric, cultural or semiotic considerations ● Constraint Satisfaction and Optimisation ○ Constraint satisfaction ○ Resource allocation and agreement technologies ************************************ Important dates: ************************************ Deadline for paper submission: March 31, 2021 ************************************ Submission Information: ************************************ Papers should be s ubmitted through the S pringer website for t he j ournal https://www.editorialmanager.com/amai by choosing a rticle type: S 706 Conceptual Structures ************************************ Guest Editors: ************************************ Dr. Mehwish Alam, FIZ Karlsruhe – Leibniz Institute for Information Infrastructure, Karlsruhe, Germany Dr. Tanya Braun, Institute of Information Systems, University of Lübeck, Lübeck, Germany Dr. Bruno Yun, University of Aberdeen – Department of Computing Science, Scotland Prof. Dr. Dominik Endres, Department of Psychology, Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany
