MoKMaSD 2014 - First Call for Papers --------------------------------------------------------------------- 3rd International Symposium on Modelling and Knowledge Management applications: Systems and Domains --------------------------------------------------------------------- Grenoble, France, 2 September 2014 - Co-located with SEFM 2014 http://www.di.unipi.it/mokmasd/symposium-2014/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTEXT & OBJECTIVES MoKMaSD 2014 aims at bringing together practitioners and researchers from academia, industry, government and non-government organisations to present research results and exchange experience, ideas, and solutions for modelling and analysing complex systems and using knowledge management strategies, technology and systems in various domain areas such as ecology, biology, medicine, climate, governance, education and social software engineering. Papers that present a synergistic approach that integrates modelling and knowledge management/discovery or exploit knowledge management/discovery to develop/syntesise system models are especially welcome. Paper are expected to be of one of the following two kinds: - SYSTEMS, aiming at illustrating realistic applications of modelling and/or knowledge management and discovery techniques; - DOMAINS, aiming at presenting ideas, conceptual results, case studies and tools in one of the domain areas listed below in relation to the possible use of modelling and/or knowledge management/discovery methodologies. Authors are invited to submit original research or tool papers on any relevant topic. These can either be normal or short papers. Short papers can discuss new ideas which are at an early stage of development and which have not yet been thoroughly evaluated. TOPICS Modelling methodologies and notations include: - Agent-based Methodologies - Automata-based Notations - Big Data Analytics - Cellular Automata - Data Mining - Differential Equations - Empirical Modelling - Game Theory - Machine Learning - Membrane Systems - Network Theory and Analysis - Ontologies - Optimisation Modelling - Petri Nets - Process Calculi - Process Mining - Rewriting Systems - Spatio-temporal Data Analysis/Mining - System Dynamics - Text Mining Application domains include: - Biology - Business Process Management - Climate Change - Ecology - Education - Environmental Risk Assessment and Management - Enterprise Architectures - Epidemiology - Genetics - Governance - Pharmacology - Social Software Engineering - Social Systems - Sustainable Development - Urban Ecology and Smart Cities Synergistic approaches include: (1) use of modelling methods and notations in a KM context (2) development and use of common modelling and KM frameworks to explore and understand complex systems from the application domains of interest SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION All contributions in the form of either regular (research or position) papers, between 12 and 16 pages, or short (research or position) papers, up to 6 pages, will be reviewed by three members of the Program Committee. All papers should be written in English and be in LNCS format. Detailed information on the submission procedure are available at the symposium web page: http://www.di.unipi.it/mokmasd/symposium-2014/. Accepted regular papers and a selection of accepted short papers will be published after the Symposium by Springer in a volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS), which will collect contributions to all workshops and symposia co-located with SEFM 2014 (http://www.springer.com/lncs). Condition for inclusion in the Post-proceedings is that at least one of the co-authors has presented the paper at the Symposium. Pre-proceedings will be available online before the Symposium. A special issue with selected papers may be planned, depending on the number and quality of submissions.
