Vision and Applications
New challenges, problems and issues have appeared in the context of knowledge representation in AI that involve the visual manipulation of information by domain experts. Furthermore, such knowledge has to be manipulated with fast results within a logic based framework. In this context conceptual structure tools play a crucial role as their graph based foundations allow for (1) rigorous algorithmic reasoning and (2) user validation for both reasoning and representation. It is a unique environment for integrated research in discrete mathematics, human computer interaction, cognitive science and engineering.
The historical goal of this workshop is exploring the development, interoperability and evolution of conceptual structures tools. In particular, the focus of this year's workshop will be in demonstrating the potential of such tools from two viewpoints:
- representation:
- how visual graph based knowledge representation and reasoning concretely benefits user interaction and domain expert validation
- reasoning:
- how graph based knowledge representation and reasoning paradigms allow for better manipulation of knowledge and graph based optimisation
Our goal is to begin a fruitful discussion on the above mentioned questions and to raise the mutual awareness of ongoing research and existing technologies within the community and beyond. In particular, this year we strongly encourage the submission of demo papers: (preliminary) system demonstrations and relevant position papers.

Submissions
Submitted papers must be in English and not submitted for publication elsewhere. We invite the following types of contributions:
- Full Papers:
- These will concern novel work in progress and/or original research results. Maximum length: 12 pages (Springer format). Accepted papers will be presented orally at the workshop.
- Short Papers:
- These will be report preliminary work or will reflect on and discuss new trends and developments. Maximum length: 6 pages (Springer format). Short papers will be presented orally at the workshop.
Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and selected on the basis of these reviews. Both long and short papers will be printed in the workshop proceedings (available online and as hardcopies).
We encourage authors to use the submission template according to Springer, as this will be the required format for accepted papers. Submissions should be done using the submission system at http://www.easychair.org/.
