Workshops will be held on Sunday, October 28th, the day before the regular conference technical sessions begin, at the conference hotel in Whistler, BC, Canada. K-CAP workshops provide an informal setting where workshop participants have the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange of ideas. Our aim for the workshop program is to promote and collect multidisciplinary research directions that contribute to knowledge capture from a variety of sources. Members from all research areas related to knowledge capture are invited to submit workshop proposals. We particularly welcome workshops at discipline boundaries. To encourage interaction and a broad exchange of ideas, each workshop will be limited to 30 participants and ample time will be allotted for general discussion. Important Dates for Workshops * April 7, 2007: Proposal submission deadline * April 16, 2007: Acceptance notification * May 2, 2007: Publications of Workshops Call for Participation * (Individual workshops may set submission deadlines as they see fit) * Sept 10, 2007: Publication of K-CAP 2007 workshop program * October 1, 2007: Deadline for camera-ready workshop notes and other information * October 28, 2007: K-CAP 2007 workshops Requirements for Submission Proposals for workshops should be between two and five pages in length, and should contain the following information: * Contact information of the proposed workshop chair (name, department, university, telephone, fax and e-mail). * A brief technical description of the workshop, specifying the workshop goals and the technical issues that will be its focus. * A description of the workshop format, emphasizing how the format will encourage discussion. * A brief discussion of why and to whom the workshop is of interest. * A description of the qualifications of the individual committee members with respect to organizing the workshop, including a list of workshops previously arranged by any members of the proposed organizing committee, if any. * A list of potential participants, ideally with an indication of which participants have expressed an interest in attending the workshop. * A preliminary call for workshop papers. Timetable All proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, to gennari@u.washington.edu, preferably in PDF (MS Word will also be accepted) by April 7, 2007. Prospective organizers will be notified of the committee's decision no later than April 16, 2007. Each workshop organizing committee will be responsible for producing a Call for Participation for their workshop by May 2, 2007. By October 1, workshop organizing committees must provide any working notes to be duplicated for the workshops (up to a maximum of 150 pages), and a list of audio-visual requirements and any special room requirements. K-CAP will be responsible for the following: * Providing publicity for the workshop series as a whole. * Providing logistics support and a meeting place for the workshop. * Duplicating working notes as described above and distributing them to the participants. Please send your proposals and any inquiries to: John Gennari, gennari@u.washington.edu.

These technologies constitute knowledge capture, and involve the extraction of useful knowledge from vast and diverse sources of information as well as its acquisition directly from users. Driven by the demands for knowledge-based applications and the unprecedented availability of information on the Internet, the study of knowledge capture has a renewed importance. Although there has been considerable work in the area of knowledge capture, activities have been distributed across several distinct research communities, including knowledge engineering, machine learning, natural language processing, and the Semantic Web community. K-CAP 2007 will provide a forum that brings together disparate research communities such as these, whose members are interested in efficiently capturing knowledge from a variety of sources and in creating representations that can be useful for reasoning. We solicit high-quality research papers for publication and presentation at our conference. Our aim is to promote multidisciplinary research that could lead to a new generation of tools and methodologies for knowledge capture. K-CAP 2007 follows on the success of three previous conferences in 2005 (Banff, Canada), in 2003 (Florida, USA), and 2001 (Victoria, Canada). The Fourth International Conference on Knowledge Capture, K-CAP 2007 will feature invited Talks, Technical Papers, Posters and Demos on a range of topics including: * Knowledge Engineering & modelling methodologies * Knowledge Engineering & the Semantic Web * Mixed-initiative planning & decision-support tools * Acquisition of problem-solving knowledge * Knowledge-based markup techniques * Knowledge extraction systems * Knowledge acquisition tools * Advice taking systems IMPORTANT DATES Workshops / Tutorials proposals due 7 April 2007 Technical papers due 6 May 2007 Posters due 1 July 2007 Workshops / Tutorials 28 October 2007 Conference 29-31 October 2007 TECHNICAL PAPERS Complete formatting instructions (including Microsoft Word and Latex templates) are available on the conference website. Briefly, submitted papers should be 8 pages, two columns, 10-point Times Roman (or equivalent), and "US letter" page-size. (Technical papers due 6 May 2007). ABOUT THE VENUE The conference will be held at The Fairmont Chateau Whistler (K-CAP 2007 has negotiated a Conference rate). Whistler is on the west side of the Rocky Mountains, and is easily reachable from Vancouver in less than 2 hours by road (~75 miles). Van services operate from Vancouver airport. Whistler is one of the sites of the 2010 Winter Olympics.
