K-CAP

A series of Knowledge Acquisition Workshops (KAW) was held from October 1986 every eighteen months until 1999. KAW was always held in Banff (Alberta, Canada) and was hosted by Brian Gaines of the University of Calgary. Brian Gaines retired in 2000, and announced that KAW-99 (its eleventh edition) would be the last one he would host. At that workshop, the KAW community reopened discussions about possibly starting a conference. With Brian Gaines, the co-chairs of the last few editions of KAW were Mark Musen and Rob Kremer and they are both are part of the organizing committee of K-CAP. In addition, a number of people who traditionally attended KAW are part of the program committee, including the KAW steering committee members. We believe that K-CAP is in a good position to attract the KAW community to this new conference. More details on the KAW workshop series can be found at http://ksi.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/KAW/. A parallel series of European Knowledge Acquisition Workshops commenced with..
