Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence - Call for Papers: Special Issue on Conceptual Structures 2020
This Special Issue grew out of the International Conference on Conceptual Structures “Ontologies
and Concepts in Mind and Machine” (ICCS 2020) and focuses on the formal analysis and
representation of conceptual knowledge, at the crossroads of artificial intelligence, human cognition,
computational linguistics, and related areas of computer science and cognitive science. Recently,
graph-based knowledge representation and reasoning (KRR) paradigms are getting more and more
attention. With the rise of quasi-autonomous AI, graph-based representations provide a vehicle for
making machine cognition explicit to its human users. Conversely, graphical and graph-based models
can provide a rigorous way of expressing intuitive notions in computable frameworks. The aim of the
ICCS 2020 conference is to build upon its long-standing expertise in graph-based KRR and focus on providing modeling, formal, and application results of graph-based systems. The Special Issue
welcomes contributions from a modeling, application, and theoretical viewpoint.

Graph representations and analysis
