However, in the light of the overall trend of AI driven conversion from traditional services to intelligent services, prevailing challenges arise for both conceptual foundations and technical preparation, especially involving semantic understanding and utilizations. As Knowledge Graphs are increasingly recognized as an important approach to solving problems related to semantic understanding beyond question and answering systems, various solutions focusing on Knowledge Graphs have been proposed. These cover Knowledge Graph creation, understanding, searching, reasoning, modification and especially and most recently embedding technologies with Machine Learning. A foreseeable AI landscape with explainable and interactive human interactions is becoming feasible based on Knowledge Graphs. The boundaries of the capability of Knowledge Graph usages are constantly expanding, but there are also open questions as to what issues can be solved by Knowledge Graphs alone. Hierarchical architectures which project Data, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom (DIKW) seem to be well paired with the organizing capability of Knowledge Graph technologies in terms of the 5W ( What, Where, When, How and Why). Although not yet formally settled as a uniform concept itself, Knowledge Graphs have been actually or implicitly functioning as Data Graph, Information Graph, Knowledge Graph and Wisdom Graph according to the DIKW hierarchy. Recently we have also seen the emergence of various applications and models of Knowledge Graph as a Service (KGaaS) as a gradual acceleration towards an era of strong AI in contrast to the currently prevailing weak AI. This workshop aims to bring together scientists, researchers, and industrial engineers to discuss and exchange experimental and theoretical results, novel designs, work-in-progress and case studies on theories, design mechanisms and extensions on Knowledge Graph as a Service. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Topics of interest include but are not limited to:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>- Small data learning<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>- Knowledge Graph as a Service<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>- AI as a Service<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>- Explainable Machine Learning Services<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>- Knowledge Management and creation in Context-aware and Situation-aware Services<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>- Ontology modeling for IR<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>- Data acqusition and linking for Edge Computing<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>- Information analysis and abstraction for Edge Computing<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>- Knowledge creation and reasoning for Edge Computing<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>- DIKW architecture-based content/resource processing and service provision<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>- Security and Privacy Services based on Knowledge Graphs<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>- Load balancing based on transformations among layers of DIKW<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>- Edge and Fog Network Services related to DIKW architecture-based<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>- Theories and methods for transformations and coordination among layers of DIKW<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>- Meta Modeling and formal modeling, and verification methods of semantic rich graphs<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>SUBMISSION<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>We call for original and unpublished papers no longer than 6 pages (up to 2 additional pages may be purchased subject to approval by the Publication Chair).
