Description
******************
The International Workshop on Knowledge Acquisition, Reuse and  
Evaluation aims to bring together researchers, scientists, engineers,  
and scholar students to exchange and share their experiences, new  
ideas, and research results about all aspects of Knowledge, Ontology  
and Sermantic Web Services Engineering. We will discuss the practical  
challenges encountered and the solutions adopted.

This workshop will focus on the theoreticians and practitioners  
concerned with developing methods and systems that assist the  
knowledge management process and assessing the suitability of such  
methods. Thus, the workshop includes all aspects of acquiring,  
modeling and managing knowledge, and their role in the construction of  
knowledge-based systems. Knowledge acquisition still remains the  
bottleneck for building a knowledge based system. Reuse and sharing of  
knowledge bases are major issues and no satisfactory solutions have  
been agreed upon yet. There is a wide range of research. Much of the  
work in this field has been knowledge acquisition. The advent of the  
age of digital information has brought the problem of knowledge reuse  
and knowledge evaluation. Our ability to analyze, evaluate and assist  
user in reusing knowledge present a great challenge of the next years.  
A new generation of computational techniques and tools is required to  
support the acquisition, the reuse and the evaluation of useful  
knowledge from the rapidly growing volume of information. All of these  
are to be discussed in this workshop.
