CALL FOR PAPERS

 

Everything as a Service (EaaS or XaaS) has followed the development of
Software-Defined Everything as stakeholders determine the ultimate
culmination of human production of both tangible and intangible services.
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. 

 

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

 

- Small data learning

- Knowledge Graph as a Service

- AI as a Service

- Explainable Machine Learning Services

- Knowledge Management and creation in Context-aware and Situation-aware
Services

- Ontology modeling for IR

- Data acqusition and linking for Edge Computing

- Information analysis and abstraction for Edge Computing

- Knowledge creation and reasoning for Edge Computing

- DIKW architecture-based content/resource processing and service provision

- Security and Privacy Services based on Knowledge Graphs

- Load balancing based on transformations among layers of DIKW

- Edge and Fog Network Services related to DIKW architecture-based

- Theories and methods for transformations and coordination among layers of
DIKW

- Meta Modeling and formal modeling, and verification methods of semantic
rich graphs

 

SUBMISSION

 

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). All papers will be reviewed with a minimum of 3 good-quality reviews
per paper. The manuscripts should be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready
format (double-column, 10-pt font) and be submitted as PDF files (formatted
for 8.5x11-inch paper).
