    1st Workshop on AI-driven heterogeneous data management : Completing, merging, handling inconsistencies and query-answering (ENIGMA)

        https://sites.google.com/view/enigma-2023

ENIGMA 2023 is co-located with the 20th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR 2023)

https://kr.org/KR2023/.

Real-world applications are increasingly fed by large-scale, multi-source, heterogeneous information/data. This concerns private companies as well as public institutions. Urban networks are a typical example of applications that need to manage considerable amounts of heterogenous data. Heterogeneity relates to the presence of different data forms and formats, such as digital images, structured and unstructured files, analog maps, incomplete and unreliable data, etc. 

Alongside the notion of data, there are also constraints, knowledge and preferences that are often under-exploited in real-world applications. In order to process and manage such heterogeneous data and information, it is important to identify the relevant elements in each data source, to detect them and finally represent them in a common format that can be easily queried.

The objective of this workshop is to bridge fundamental research in knowledge representation and reasoning with applied research. The aim is to encourage the emergence of novel solutions for representing, combining, classifying, clustering, integrating domain knowledge, repairing, explaining and querying data/information of different nature.

The workshop will be held in Rhodes, Greece, between the 2nd and the 4th September 2023 (date TBD). Workshop activities will include one invited talk and presentations of technical papers.

Submission Guidelines

We accept three kinds of submissions:

- full papers: 9 pages at most

- short papers: 4 pages at most

- long abstracts 2 pages at most

The page limits have to be intended excluding bibliography and acknowledgments.

All papers must be formatted using the KR style, that can be downloaded from the KR website (https://kr.org/KR2023/submission-guidelines/).

Papers must be submitted in PDF only.

Please submit via Easychair to: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=enigma2023

Papers already published or accepted for publication at other conferences are also welcome, provided that the original publication is mentioned in a footnote on the first page and the submission at ENIGMA 2023 falls within the authors’ rights. In the same vein, papers under review for other conferences can be submitted with a similar indication on their front page.
