   refinement and knowledge validation

 * Languages and frameworks for knowledge modelling

 * Integration of knowledge acquisition techniques within larger systems,
   including knowledge engineering workbenches, hypermedia, database
   management systems, simulators, spreadsheets

 * Methods and techniques for reuse of knowledge and knowledge models

 * Distributed knowledge acquisition through infrastructures such as the
   Internet

 * Experimental studies on expertise as it relates to knowledge acquisition

 * Evaluations of knowledge acquisition techniques, tools and methods

 * Fundamental views of knowledge that affect the knowledge
   acquisition process and the use of knowledge in knowledge engineering

Workshop attendance will be limited to 40 participants, one author for
each paper accepted.  The duration of the workshop will be 4 days,
consisting of invited talks, plenary sessions and working groups on
selected issues. Software demonstrations related to presented papers are
