Research interest should inevitably shift from information to knowledge, namely how to build, organize, maintain and utilize knowledge are the central issues in a wide variety of fields. The 21st Century COE program, "Framework for Systematization and Application of Large-scale Knowledge Resources (COE-LKR)" conducted by Tokyo Institute of Technology is one of the attempts to challenge these important issues. Inspired by this project, LKR2008 aims at bringing together diverse contribution in cognitive science, computer science, education and linguistics to explore design, construction, extension, maintenance, validation, and application of knowledge. Topics of Interest to the conference includes: Infrastructure for Large-scale Knowledge Grid computing Network computing Software tools and development environments Database and archiving systems Mobile and ubiquitous computing Systematization for Large-scale Knowledge Language resources Multi-modal resources Classification, Clustering Formal systems Knowledge representation and ontology Semantic Web Cognitive systems Collaborative knowledge Applications and Evaluation of Large-scale Knowledge Archives for science and art Educational media Information access Document analysis Multi-modal human interface Web applications Organizing committee General conference chair: Furui, Sadaoki (Tokyo Institute of Technology) Program co-chairs: Ortega, Antonio (University of Southern California) Tokunaga, Takenobu (Tokyo Institute of Technology) Publication chair: Yonezaki, Naoki (Tokyo Institute of Technology) Publicity chair: Yokota, Haruo (Tokyo Institute of Technology) Local organizing chair: Shinoda, Koichi (Tokyo Institute of Technology) Program committee Calzolari, Nicoletta (ILC-CNR, Italy) Harman, Donna (NIST, USA) Huang, Chu-Ren (Academia Sinica, Taiwan) Ishizaki, Syun (Keio University, Japan) Juang, Biing-Hwang (Georgia Institute of Technology, USA) Kusumi, Takashi (Kyoto University, Japan) Matsumoto, Yuji (Nara Institute of Science and Technology, Japan) Nakazawa, Jin (Keio University, Japan) Nilsson, Jorgen Fischer (Technical University of Denmark, Denmark) Rigoll, Gerhard (Munich University of Technology, Germany) Russell, Stuart (University of California, Berkeley, USA) Sakamoto, Takashi (JAPET, Japan) Sekine, Satoshi (New York University, USA) Shibano, Koji (Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Japan) Sugiura, Masatoshi (Nagoya University, Japan) Sugiyama, Shinya (Keio University, Japan) Theeramaunkong, Thanuruk (Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology, Thailand) Thompson, Henry (University of Edinburgh, UK) Tobe, Yoshito (Tokyo Denki University, Japan) Tomimori, Nobuo (Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Japan) Washio, Takashi (Osaka University, Japan) Yamada, Tuneo (National Institute of Multimedia Center, Japan) Yano, Tamaki (Doshisha University, Japan) Submission Since we are aiming at an interdisciplinary conference covering wide range of topics concerning large-scale knowledge resources, authors are requested to add general introductory description in the beginning of the paper so that readers of other research area can understand the importance of the work. Note that one of the reviewers of each paper is assigned from other topic area to see if this requirement is fulfilled. There are two categories of paper presentation: oral and poster. The category of the paper should be stated at submission. Authors are invited to submit original unpublished research papers, in English, up to 12 pages for oral presentation and 4 pages for poster presentation, strictly following the LNCS/LNAI format guidelines available at the Springer LNCS Web page: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Details of the submission procedure will be announced later on. Reviewing The reviewing of the papers will be blind and managed by an international Conference Program Committee consisting of Area Chairs and associated Program Committee Members. Final decisions on the technical program will be made by a meeting of the Program Co-Chairs and Area Chairs. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three program committee members, and one of the reviewers is assigned from a different topic area. Publication The conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI), which will be available at the conference. Important dates Paper submission deadline: 30 August, 2007 Notification of acceptance: 10 October, 2007 Camera ready papers due: 10 November, 2007 for e-mail correspondence: lkr2008@coe21-lkr.titech.ac.jp ----------------------------------------------------------------------
