                      Workshop at the
   28th German Conference on Artificial Intelligence (KI-2005)
                     September 11-14, 2005
                       Koblenz, Germany

Aims and Scope
==============

Intelligent systems have been successfully developed in many
domains over the last years. The process of building such
systems is based on techniques and tools from the fields of
knowledge engineering and software engineering, which have
influenced each other. Thus, declarative software engineering
techniques have been established in various areas, such as
knowledge systems, logic programming, constraint programming,
and lately in the context of the Semantic Web.
The workshop on Knowledge Engineering and Software Engineering
(KESE 2005) wants to bring together researchers and
practitioners from the fields of software engineering and
artificial intelligence. The intention is to give ample space
for exchanging latest research results as well as knowledge
about practical experience.


Topics of Interest
==================

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* AI methods in software/knowledge engineering
   - Engineering the Semantic Web
   - Knowledge and experience management
   - Declarative, logic-based approaches
   - Constraint programming
   - Agent-oriented software engineering

* Knowledge/software engineering methods in AI
   - Database and knowledge base management in AI systems
     (knowledge systems, deductive databases)
   - Tools for intelligent systems
   - Evaluation of (intelligent) systems:
     verification, validation, assessment
   - Issues of maintenance
   - Process models


Important Dates
===============

Deadline for Submission:  July 13, 2005 (extended)
Notification of Authors:  July 27, 2005
Final Versions of Papers: August 10, 2005
Workshop:                 September 11, 2005


Submission Details
==================

Papers should be formated according to the Springer 
LLNCS guidelines using the workshop proceedings template 
of the University Koblenz-Landau.  The length of each 
paper should not exceed 12 pages (including figures and 
references). All papers must be written in English and 
submitted in PDF format. The submission process will be 
electronical Please send an email with your submission 
to one of the workshop organizers.

Organization
============

The one-day workshop will be held with presentations of the 
accepted papers. A comfortable time slot for discussions 
will be given. The submitted papers will be reviewed by at 
least two members of the program committee. 
The proceedings will be published as a technical report 
("Technische Berichte" of University Koblenz-Landau), and 
it is considered to publish a selection of extended papers 
after a post-workshop review process.
