[Commlist] 1st Call for Contributions to WISDOMS - ethics, values and knowledge graphs @ESWC24

We are excited to announce the call for papers for WISDOMS 
<https://wisdoms-workshop.github.io/> 2024, a workshop focusing on the 
integration of data semantics, ontologies, moral values, and their 
societal impact.

*About the Workshop:*
The growing influence of AI in our daily lives has transformed both the 
digital landscape and the way we generate, extract and represent 
information. The surge in using Large Language Models (LLMs) not only in 
academia and industry but among the public, has made it increasingly 
important to address the alignment of AI tools to moral and cultural 
human values. Despite ongoing governmental work on developing ethical 
guidelines and practical requirements for AI, for academic and 
industrial applications there is a particular importance to ensure that 
the research respective practical methods follow ethical practices and 
that the outcomes do not conflict with moral values. As hybridizing 
knowledge structures and semantic data with generative AI has a high 
impact potential for the development of increasingly more complex and 
intelligent systems, it becomes of the utmost importance that such 
innovation adheres to the EU’s objective of realizing AI applications 
that are dependable, robust, explicable, ethically guided, and therefore 
trustworthy.

The first edition of *WISDOMS, the Workshop on Integrating the Semantics 
of Data, Ontologies, Moral and cultural values and their Societal 
impact*, aims to provide an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, 
practitioners, and those curious enough to explore the convergence of 
ethics, socio-behavioural norms, moral and cultural values, with hybrid 
neuro-symbolic knowledge structures and generative AI.
Join us in discussing the socio-ethical boundaries of AI innovation!

*Important Dates:*

  * *Submission Deadline:* March 7, 2024
  * *Author Notification:* April 4, 2024
  * *Final Version Due:* April 18, 2024
  * *Workshop Dates:* May 26/27, 2024


*List of Topics:*
WISDOMS invite paper contributions related to (but not restricted to) 
the following areas:

  * Ethical dilemmas in value knowledge representation
  * Development of value-centric vocabularies and ontologies
  * Societal impact of (non-)ethical AI
  * Moral and cultural value knowledge graphs and semantic resources
  * Value-driven system design and explainability
  * Value-sensitive autonomous agents
  * Neuro-symbolic and hybrid semantic web tools for moral reasoning in AI


*Type of Contributions:*
We welcome diverse contributions including research papers, case 
studies, and theoretical explorations that align with the workshop's themes.
We accept four types of contributions:

  * *Full Papers* (10-12 pages excluding references)
  * *Short Papers* (5-8 pages excluding references)
  * *Position Papers* (1-4 pages excluding references, not included in
    the proceedings)
  * *Extended Abstracts* of recently published papers (1-4 pages
    excluding references, not included in the proceedings)


Submissions must be sent via Easychair 
<https://easychair.org/cfp/wisdoms2024> and should be formatted in CEUR 
1-column format (template available on workshop website).

For inclusion in the workshop, at least one of the authors of accepted 
papers needs to register at ESWC 2024 and participate on-site at WISDOMS.

*Location:*
WISDOMS is co-located with ESWC 2024 
<https://2024.eswc-conferences.org/> held on the beautiful island city 
Hersonissos, Crete, Greece. This year, ESWC has the timely theme on 
Fabrics of Knowledge: Knowledge Graphs and Generative AI.
Join us at WISDOMS to add a flair of ethics to the main conference!
We look forward to your valuable contributions to a fruitful and 
thought-provoking discussion on these critical issues.
