With all of the news about the Internet and the Y2K problem, it is
easy to forget that other areas of computer science still exist.
Reading the newspaper or watching the television conveys a very
warped view of what is happening in computer science. This
conference illustrates how a maturing subdiscipline of computer
science can continue to grow and integrate within it both old and
new approaches despite (or perhaps due to) a lack of public
awareness. The conceptual graph community has basically existed
since the 1984 publication of John Sowa's book, "Conceptual
Structures: Information Processing In Mind and Machine." In this
book, John Sowa laid the foundations for a knowledge representation
model called conceptual graphs based on semantic networks and the
existential graphs of C.S. Peirce. Conceptual graphs constitutes a
very powerful and expressive knowledge representation scheme,
inheriting the benefits of logic and the mathematics of graphs. The
expressiveness and formal underpinnings of conceptual graph theory
have attracted a large international community of researchers and
scholars. The International Conferences on Conceptual Structures,
and this is the seventh in the series, is the primary forum for
these researchers to report their progress and activities. As in
the past, the doors were open to admit alternate representation
models and approaches.
