Call for participation

IAOA Summer Institute on Places and Things

July 22-25, 2019
Utrecht, Netherlands

http://geographicknowledge.de/iaoa-summer-institute/

Goal

The need to support spatial reasoning arises in domains as diverse as geogr=
aphic information systems and manufacturing, yet there has been little inte=
raction between the industrial and academic communities in these domains. T=
he IAOA Summer Institute will bring together researchers from these domains=
 and explore topics in spatial representation and reasoning such as notions=
 of dimensionality, boundaries, shape, and location. It will in particular =
explore the variety of spatial questions that are asked in these domains, a=
nd how such questions help design and test spatial ontologies.
- What are the commonalities and differences among the research problems th=
at motivate the various communities that use spatial reasoning?
- What are the types of spatial questions asked?
- Why is there not more ontology reuse and sharing among these communities?
- What applications drive the design of ontologies for spatial reasoning?
For example, location services are increasingly important for many companie=
s. Knowledge-based design of electromechanical devices with moving parts re=
mains a challenge in manufacturing.

Facilitators and Organization
- Werner Kuhn (University of California, Santa Barbara)
- Michael Gruninger (University of Toronto)
- Simon Scheider (University of Utrecht)

Participants from all sectors of geographical information systems, manufact=
uring, and ontology engineering are invited to interact from July 22-25, 20=
19 at Utrecht University. As always, the Summer Institute will challenge th=
e state of the art through lively discussions and hands-on problem solving =
rather than lengthy presentations. The International Association for Ontolo=
gy and its Applications (IAOA) is a non-profit organization the purpose of =
which is to promote interdisciplinary research and international collaborat=
ion at the intersection of philosophical ontology, linguistics, logic, cogn=
itive science, and computer science, as well as in the applications of onto=
logical analysis to conceptual modeling, knowledge engineering, knowledge m=
anagement, information-systems development, library and information science=
, scientific research, and semantic technologies in general.

Registration Information
You can register by sending an email to Michael Gruninger ([email protected]=
oronto.ca). The registration fee is =80340.
The deadline for registration is the 30th of June 2019!
