Description
Shape, Form, and Structure are some of the most elusive notions and are pervasive in diverse disciplines from humanities (like literature studies, art history) to sciences (chemistry, biology, physics) and within these from the formal (mathematics, logic) to the empirical disciplines (engineering, cognitive science, architecture, environmental planning, design). Within domains such as computer science and artificial intelligence research, these notions are understood by mixing their common-sense meanings (e.g. to make sense of everyday perception and communication) and ad hoc technical specifications. Even in the different declinations of design the conception and sense of these notions change considerably. Several approaches have been proposed within the aforementioned disciplines to study the very notions of shape, form and structure from different viewpoints, yet a comprehensive treatment of these notions is lacking and no interdisciplinary perspective has emerged.

Prof. Nicola Baroni at the music conservatory 'Claudio Monteverdi', Bolzano, will participate with a keynote talk with the title: "Hyperinstruments as a Gestural Approach to Composition"
Prof. Todd Oakley will attend the workshop as a keynote speaker. He is an associate professor of cognitive science at Case Western Reserve University. His primary research interests lie in cognitive linguistics, in particular in semiotics, discourse analysis and rhetorics. In terms of image schema research, he is particularly known for his chapter on image schemas in The Handbook for Cognitive Linguistics (Oxford University Press, 2008).

Venue
This year the SHAPES Workshop will be part of the Joint Ontology Workshops JOWO 2017, hosted at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy.
The workshop will take place at the third Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO), where ten ontology-centered workshops meet for three days in an exciting joint event at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano. The inspiring environment, tucked in between the South Tyrollean Alps, promises to provide an excellent setting to discuss innovative and state of the art research. Please join us!
