Organized jointly by MIMOS BERHAD and the Faculty of Cognitive Science and Faculty of Information Technology of University Malaysia Sarawak.
The 18th International Conference on Conceptual Structures (ICCS 2010) is the latest in a series of annual conferences that have been held in Europe, Australia, and North America since 1993. The focus of the conference has been the representation and analysis of conceptual knowledge for research and practical application. ICCS brings together researchers and practitioners in information and computer sciences as well as social science to explore novel ways that conceptual structures can be deployed.
Arising from the research on knowledge representation and reasoning with Conceptual Graphs, over the years ICCS has broadened its scope to include innovations from a wider range of theories and related practices, among them other form of graph-based reasoning systems like RDF or Existential Graphs, Formal Concept Analysis, Semantic Web Technologies, Ontologies, Concept Mapping and more. Accordingly, ICCS represents a family of approaches related to conceptual structures that build on the successes with techniques derived from artificial intelligence, knowledge representation and reasoning, applied mathematics and lattice theory, computational linguistics, conceptual modeling and design, diagrammatic reasoning and logic, intelligent systems and knowledge management. The activity of the field is witnessed by two recently published books ("Conceptual Structures in Practice", ed. by Hitzler and Schärfe and "Graph-based Knowledge Representation: Computational Foundations of Conceptual Graphs" by Chein and Mugnier) as well as by an ISO standard ("Common Logic", ISO/IEC 24707) which originated in this community.
The ICCS 2010 theme is “From Information to Intelligence” hints towards unveiling the reasoning capabilities of conceptual structures.
• Graph based knowledge representation and reasoning;
• Conceptual knowledge acquisition;
• Conceptual data processing, analysis and conceptual logic;
• Interplay of conceptual structures with language, semantics, semiotics and pragmatics;
• Representation and reasoning with conceptual structures;
• Applied conceptual structures.
