Preface
The 13th International Conference on Conceptual Structures (ICCS 2005) was held in Kassel, Germany, during July 17–22, 2005. Information about the conference can be found at http://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/conf/iccs05. The title of this year’s conference, “Common Semantics for Sharing Knowledge”, was chosen to emphasize on the one hand the overall aim of any knowledge representation formalism, to support the sharing of knowledge, and on the other hand the importance of a common semantics to avoid distortion of the meaning. We understand that both aspects are of equal importance for a successful future of the research area of conceptual structures. We are thus happy that the papers presented at ICCS 2005 addressed both applications and theoretical foundations. “Sharing knowledge” can also be understood in a separate sense. Thanks to the German Research Foundation, DFG, we were able to invite nine internationally renowned researchers from adjacent research areas. We had stimulating presentations and lively discussions, with bidirectional knowledge sharing. Eve
