Description
******************
The International Workshop on Knowledge Acquisition, Reuse and
Evaluation aims to bring together researchers, scientists,
engineers, and scholar students to exchange and share their
experiences, new ideas, and research results about all aspects of
Knowledge, Ontology, Sermantic Web or Knowledge Engineering. We
will discuss the practical challenges encountered and the
solutions adopted.

This workshop will focus on the theoreticians and practitioners
concerned with developing methods and systems that assist the
knowledge management process and assessing the suitability of
such methods. Thus, the workshop includes all aspects of
acquiring, modeling and managing knowledge, and their role in the
construction of knowledge-based systems. Knowledge acquisition
still remains the bottleneck for building a knowledge based
system. Reuse and sharing of knowledge bases are major issues and
no satisfactory solutions have been agreed upon yet. There is a
wide range of research. Much of the work in this field has been
knowledge acquisition. The advent of the age of digital
information has brought the problem of knowledge reuse and
knowledge evaluation. Our ability to analyze, evaluate and assist
user in reusing knowledge present a great challenge of the next
years. A new generation of computational techniques and tools is
required to support the acquisition, the reuse and the evaluation
of useful knowledge from the rapidly growing volume of
information. All of these are to be discussed in this workshop.

********

Submission
***************
KARE 2012 invites submission of high quality and original papers
on the topics of the major tracks described below. All submitted
papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers for
technical merit, originality, significance and relevance to the
topics of the corresponding track. Papers must be up to 8 pages
long and follow IEEE double columns publication format. Paper
submission will only be online via: SITIS 2012 submission
site(http://www.sitis-conf.org/). The online system will be used
to handle and process all papers and to prepare for the final
proceedings. http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sitis2012
Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings
and published IEEE Computer Society and referenced in IEEE
explore and major indexes. The proceedings will be available at
the conference. Extended version of selected accepted papers will
be considered for publication in major journals. Selected papers
after extension will be published in the following journals:
- Journal of Digital Information Management (JDIM) (ISSN
