This is a summary announcement. The electronic version of the general information brochure will be updated regularly. See below, under "Further information", for ways to access the information. PROGRAMME The programme of KB&KS'95 will consist of submitted paper presentations (see below for the Call for Papers) and three presentations by invited speakers. The invited speakers are: Dr. Douglas B. LENAT (MCC) Dr. Lenat is the initiator and project leader of the CYC project, a very large-scale effort to develop a comprehensive knowledge base of common sense knowledge. The project will end in mid 1995. Dr. Francois RECHENMANN (INRIA Rhone-Alpes and IMAG/LIFIA) Dr. Rechenmann is a world authority on using knowledge-based systems in biology. In particular, he and his group have developed tools and techniques to integrate knowledge from various laboratories in the context of the Human Genome Project. Dr. Toshio YOKOI (EDR, tentative) Dr. Yokoi heads the Electronic Dictionary Research project, which aims at building a very large machine-usable bilingual dictionary English-Japanese, based on a hierarchically structured set of concepts. CALL FOR PAPERS Like the first conference, the Second International Conference on Building and Sharing of Very Large-Scale Knowledge Bases solicits papers relevant to the subject. Papers reporting experimental work are particularly invited. The charter of the conference is exemplified by: - Knowledge representation systems for large knowledge bases o Computational complexity (both theoretical and empirical) in relation to scaling o Standardisation; sharing and reuse - Contents of large knowledge bases o Knowledge acquisition for large knowledge bases o Reuse of resources o Standardisation; sharing and reuse; ontologies - Applications of large knowledge bases, with particular emphasis on scientific and engineering applications. There will be a special track on large knowledge bases for materials science. Authors are invited to submit a paper with a maximum size of 20 A4 pages as either a flat ASCII file or a self-contained standard PostScript file by email to: kbks95-papers@cs.utwente.nl Upon acceptance, authors will be required to deliver their final paper using a special LaTeX style file that will be made available in due time. If you have difficulties in complying with these standards, please contact the organisers (address can be found below, under "Further information"). Timetable: December 1, 1994 - Deadline for paper submissions January 10, 1995 - Notification of acceptance/rejection to authors March 1, 1995 - Deadline for final paper April 10, 1995 - Start of conference PROGRAMME AND STEERING COMMITTEE Nicolaas J.I.
