    Publication of proceedings

    We are planning to publish the Ecsqaru conference proceedings in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series by Springer. All the previous Ecsqaru conference proceedings have been published in this series.

    In addition, we are planning a special issue of the Knowledge Engineering Review, published by Cambridge University Press, to follow the conference to cover key trends in the field.
