-- Submission Requirements for Tutorial Proposals --

KR tutorials are half-day or (exceptionally) full-day events that

introduce general or special topics in KR and relevant neighboring

areas. They can be first introductions to an established area or an

emerging field, but also advanced courses on specialized methods or

new approaches. The content should be adequately established and

balanced, and not be limited to advertising an individual research

work or product. A focus on specific tools and methodologies can still

be useful to offer concrete examples and hands-on activities to

participants.


Each accepted tutorial will entitle a discount on the KR registration

fee for one tutorial presenter.


Each tutorial proposal (of max. 4 pages) should contain the following

information:


•   Title, presenters and proposed length of the tutorial (half-day is

recommended, but an argument can be made for a full-day tutorial)

•   A half-page introduction to the tutorial's subject and relevance to KR

•   A half-page on the target audience, prerequisite knowledge, and

learning goals

•   One page outline of the tutorial contents and intended structure

•   A brief resume of each presenter including name, affiliation,

email address, and evidence of scholarship in the area,

mentioning relevant publications or professional experience.


The main duties of tutorial organizers are:


•   Setup a web-page for the tutorial, which should at least include

the information from the proposal, tutorial material and related

references.

•   Deliver the tutorial at KR 2025. Tutorials will be in person, at least

one tutorial organizer is expected to be present.


-- Submission Requirements for Workshop Proposals --


Workshops provide a place to exchange ideas in emerging fields in KR

research and application. They can take many forms, including

mini-conferences (with peer-reviewed publications), competitions and

shared tasks, working sessions (discussions, hackathons, etc.),

line-ups of invited contributions, or a mix of these. Innovative

formats are welcome, but organizers must provide means of estimating

attendance and required length up-front (by number of submissions,

invited speakers, or early registered participants).


Workshop proposals can use up to 4 pages, which should include the

following information:


•   Title, acronym of the workshop, proposed duration (half day, one 
day, ...)

•   Workshop description: goals, format, and expected activities

during the workshop

•   Audience: target audience, research groups in the area, planned or

confirmed invited speakers, expected number of submissions and

participants

•   Related events: history of the workshop (if applicable),

relationship to recent similar events

•   Tentative list of PC members with their respective affiliations

•   A brief resume of each organizer including name, affiliation,

contact details, and evidence of scholarship in the area,

mentioning relevant publications or professional experience.

•   Appendix: tentative call for contributions


The main duties of the chair(s) of each accepted workshop are:


•   Set up a webpage for the workshop

•   Advertise the workshop, distribute its call for papers and call for 
participation

•   Coordinate the peer-reviewing of submitted contributions

•   If workshop proceedings are desired, it is the duty of the 
organizers to

produce and distribute their workshop proceedings

•   Organize a schedule for the workshop in collaboration with the local

organizers and the KR workshop co-chairs

•   Coordinate and moderate the workshop participation and content

•   Deliver the workshop at KR 2025. Workshops will be in person, at least

one tutorial organizer is expected to be present.



KR reserves the right to cancel a workshop if it does not have enough

participants to cover its running costs.
