                                 CALL FOR PAPERS

             27th International Workshop on Description Logics (DL 2014)

                       Vienna, Austria, July 17--20, 2014

===============================================================================


The DL workshop is the major annual event of the description logic
research community. It is the forum at which those interested in
description logics, both from academia and industry, meet to discuss
ideas, share information and compare experiences.

The workshop will be held at the Technical University of Vienna, from
July 17th to July 20th, 2014.

This year the DL workshop is part of the Vienna Summer of Logic, a vast 
event
hosting several major logic conferences and workshops (http://vsl2014.at/).
In particular, the workshop is co-located with KR 2014 and will share a 
joint
session with the International Workshop on Non-Monotonic Reasoning (NMR 
2014).

WORKSHOP SCOPE
--------------
We invite contributions on all aspects of description logics,
including but not limited to:

     * Foundations of description logics:

       decidability and complexity of reasoning, expressive power,
       novel inference problems, inconsistency tolerance,
       reasoning techniques, and modularity aspects

     * Extensions of description logics:

       closed-world and nonmonotonic reasoning, defaults, epistemic
       reasoning, temporal and spatial reasoning, procedural knowledge,
       query languages

     * Integration of description logics with other formalisms:

       object-oriented representation languages, database query
       languages, constraint-based programming, logic programming, and
       rule-based systems

     * Applications and use areas of description logics:

       ontology engineering, ontology languages, databases,
       ontology-based data access, semi-structured data, document
       management, natural language, learning, planning, Semantic Web,
       and cloud computing

     * Systems and tools around description logics:

       reasoners, software tools for and using description logic
       reasoning (e.g. ontology editors, database schema design, query
       optimization, and data integration tools), implementation and
       optimization techniques, benchmarking, evaluation, modeling


INVITED SPEAKERS
----------------
* Michael Benedikt, University of Oxford, UK
* Patrick Blackburn, University of Roskilde, Denmark
* Alon Y. Halevy, Google, USA


SUBMISSIONS
-----------
* Submissions may be either papers of up to 11 pages (excluding references)
   or extended abstracts of at most 3 pages (excluding references) and 
must be
   formatted in Springer LNCS style. There is no page limit on the list of
   references.
* Extended abstracts are designed for authors who wish to announce results
   that have been published elsewhere, or which the authors intend to 
submit
   or have already submitted to a venue with an incompatible prior / 
concurrent
   publication policy.
* A clearly marked appendix (e.g., with additional proofs or evaluation 
data)
   may optionally be appended. It will be read at the discretion of the 
reviewers
   and not included in the proceedings. It does not need to be in LNCS 
format.
* Authors submitting extended abstracts are encouraged to include such an
   appendix, with sufficient material (e.g. copy of the already 
published paper
   or technical report) to judge the scientific merit of the work 
described in
   the abstract.
* Submission page: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dl2014 
<http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dl2014>
* Accepted papers and extended abstracts will be made available 
electronically
   in the CEUR Workshop Proceedings series (http://www.CEUR-ws.org/).
* Accepted submissions, be they full papers or extended abstracts, will be
   selected for either oral or poster presentation at the workshop. 
Submissions
   will be judged solely based upon their content, and the type of 
submission
   will have no bearing on the decision between oral and poster 
presentation.
