  • Venue: University of Seville, Seville, Spain (building/room TBD)
  • Format: stand-alone, onsite

ConfWS aims

The Configuration Workshop (ConfWS) is a two-day event that started at the AAAI’96 Fall Symposium and from 1999 onwards has been continued at IJCAI, AAAI, ECAI, CP, and SPLC conferences, as well as stand-alone. The workshop promotes high-quality research in all technical areas related to configuration and to bring together researchers working in the various fields of applicable technologies and industry representatives. The main goal is to engage participants from academia and industry in a working group to foster synergies and act as incubator of solutions, scenarios possibilities, and future projects on Artificial Intelligence techniques in the configuration domain.

The 29th edition in 2027 will be held as a stand-alone event, hosted by the University of Seville in Seville, Spain.

Special focus of the 2027 edition: TBD

The target audience are scholars and practitioners from academia and industry working on the topics detailed in the following (but not limited to): Configuration Problems and Models; Definitions of configuration, reconfiguration, distributed configuration; Definitions of product, process, system, service configuration; Structure of configuration problems; Knowledge representation, ontologies, fuzzy and incomplete knowledge, standardization of catalogue exchange formats, feature models; Representations for product and process configuration, product design and configuration; Applications and Tools; Configuration tools, design tools, application reports, new application domains such as the Internet of Things (IoT), case studies, real-world challenges, test environments for configuration knowledge bases, configuration in related fields such as software configuration, service composition, and model-driven engineering; Environments for feature model development and maintenance, design theories for applications and tools.
