Knowledge Acquisition Workshop Series

The first workshop on Knowledge Acquisition for Knowledge-Based Systems was held in Banff, Alberta, Canada in October 1986. This KAW series has continued on an annual basis and the 10th KAW was held in Banff November, 1996, and the 11th KAW will be in Banff April 18-23, 1998 (see KAW98 below).

A parallel series of European Knowledge Acquisition Workshops commenced with EKAW87 in London, England in September 1987. The EKAW series has continued on an annual basis in various European cities. The 9th EKAW was held in Nottingham, UK, May 14-17, 1996, the 10th EKAW in Catelonia, Spain, October 15-18, 1997, and the 11th EKAW will be at Schloss Dagstuhl in Germany, May 26-29, 1999.

A further series of Knowledge Acquisition Workshops in Pacific Rim countries commenced with JKAW90 in Kyoto, Japan in October 1990. It was followed by AKAW91 in Australia in August 1991, and PKAW96 in Australia, 23-25 October 1996. PKAW98 will be held in Singapore, November 22-23, 1998, in conjunction with PRICAI98.

As a spin-off from some of the tracks at KAW96 a AAAI Spring Symposium on Artificial Intelligence in Knowledge Management took place at Stanford University, March 24-26, 1997. The proceedings are on-line.

Information on the KAW Sisyphus projects is available.
