The DL workshop is the major annual event of the description logic research community. It is the forum in which those interested in description logics, both from academia and industry, meet to discuss ideas, share information and compare experiences. The 35th edition will be held in Haifa, Israel, between August 7th and 10th 2022. It will be co-located with a number of events as part of FLoC 2022 (including KR & NMR 2022).
Submission Guidelines
DL reviewing is single-blind, so the names of the authors will be visible to the reviewers and should be indicated on the submitted files. We allow anonymous submissions on request.
Submissions may be of two types:
- A – Regular papers of up to 11 pages (excluding references)
- B – Extended abstracts of 2–4 pages (excluding references)
Both regular papers and abstracts must be formatted using the new CEURART style, using the following DL-specific template that we prepared: CEURART-DL.zip and submitted via EasyChair for DL 2022.
Submissions of type A must contain enough substance that they can be cited in other publications and may not have appeared before. A clearly marked appendix with additional proofs and evaluation data may be included.
For submissions of type B, we highly encourage a clearly marked appendix with additional proofs, evaluation data, or extended version of your paper, which was accepted at another conference or which you submitted or plan to submit to another conference. Abstracts of papers accepted or under review at other venues must clearly state the venue where the paper has been submitted alongside its status.
The appendix will be read at the discretion of the reviewers and will not be included in the proceedings. The appendix does not need to be in the CEURART format.
Accepted submissions of both types will be selected for either oral or poster presentation at the workshop. Submissions will be judged solely based on their content, and the type of submission will have no bearing on the decision between oral and poster presentation.
Fast-track Notification
Authors who require a visa to travel to Israel and for this reason would like to receive notification earlier than 8 June may request fast-track reviewing. To do so, authors should send an email to PC chairs, including the submission number of the paper and a statement explaining the circumstances that require fast-track review. Authors and participants who require a visa invitation to attend the workshop please follow the guidelines provided at the FLoC website under Local information.
Anonymous Submission
In justified cases, if you wish your submission to be handled anonymously (i.e., double-blind) please send an e-mail to PC chairs explaining the reasons. You will receive instructions on how to proceed.
Publication
DL 2022 proceedings will be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication. Due to a change of policy at CEUR-WS.org papers of type B are no longer indexed by dblp.org and the case of an abstract of a pre-published paper may require a permission by the copyright holder.
List of Topics
We invite contributions on all aspects of description logics, including, but not limited to:
- Foundations of description logics: decidability and complexity of reasoning, expressive power, novel inference problems, inconsistency management, reasoning techniques, modularisation, ontology extraction, abductive and inductive reasoning
- Extensions of description logics: closed-world and non-monotonic reasoning, epistemic reasoning, temporal and spatial reasoning, procedural knowledge, query answering, reasoning over dynamic information
- Integration of description logics with other formalisms: object-oriented representation languages, database query languages, constraint-based programming, logic programming, rule-based systems
- Applications and use areas of description logics: ontology engineering, ontology languages, databases, ontology-based data access, semi-structured data, graph-structured data, linked data, document management, natural language, learning, explanations, planning, Semantic Web, cloud computing, conceptual modeling, web services, business processes, practical experiences, case studies, feasibility studies
- Systems and tools of all kinds around description logics: reasoners, ontology editors, ontology alignment, ontology extraction, other support for ontology development, database schema design, query rewriting/answering/optimization, data integration, implementation and optimization techniques, benchmarking, evaluation, modeling

Student Support
Support for students wishing to attend DL 2022 will be provided either directly by DL organizers or in collaboration with FLoC & KR 2022. Details will be announced in due time.
Covid-19 Information
FLoC 2022 and all affiliated events including DL are planned to be held in-person. However, due to travel restrictions imposed by various authorities if some delegates will not be allowed to enter Israel, they will be allowed to present virtually.
If the goal to organize FLoC 2022 in-person cannot be met due to worsening pandemic situation, it will be switched to a fully virtual conference. The decision on in-person or virtual format will be made and published by 1 May 2022.
Contact
All questions about submissions should be emailed to the PC chairs or the general chair.
