Inhaltsangabe

With all of the news about the Internet and the Y2K problem, it is easy to forget that other areas of computer science still exist. Reading the newspaper or watching the television conveys a very warped view of what is happening in computer science. This conference illustrates how a maturing subdiscipline of computer science can continue to grow and integrate within it both old and new approaches despite (or perhaps due to) a lack of public awareness. The conceptual graph community has basically existed since the 1984 publication of John Sowa’s book, "Conceptual Structures: Information Processing In Mind and Machine." In this book, John Sowa laid the foundations for a knowledge representation model called conceptual graphs based on semantic networks and the existential graphs of C.S. Peirce. Conceptual graphs constitutes a very powerful and expressive knowledge representation scheme, inheriting the benefits of logic and the mathematics of graphs. The expressiveness and formal underpinnings of conceptual graph theory have attracted a large international community of researchers and scholars. The International Conferences on Conceptual Structures, and this is the seventh in the series, is the primary forum for these researchers to report their progress and activities. As in the past, the doors were open to admit alternate representation models and approaches.

Reseña del editor

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Conceptual Structures, ICCS'99, held in Blacksburg, Virginia, USA in July 1999.
The 34 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. Also included is a 65 page proposed draft standard for conceptual graphs. The papers are organized in sections on conceptual graph modeling; natural language; applications; SISYPHUS-I, contexts, logics and conceptual graphs; and position papers.
