This is a first announcement. The electronic version of the general information brochure will be updated regularly. See below, under "Further information", for ways to access the information. 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 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 notify the organisers (address can be found below, under "Further information").
