Preface
The25theditionoftheInternationalConferenceonConceptualStructures(ICCS2020)
took place in Bozen-Bolzano, Italy, during 18–20 September, 2020, under the title
“Ontologies and Concepts in Mind and Machine.” Since 1993, ICCS has been an
yearly venue for publishing and discussing new research methods along with their
practical applications related to conceptual structures. This year ICCS was one of the
10 different conferences in the Bolzano Summer of Knowledge (BOSK 2020), which
spanned overthe course oftwo weeks.Each ofthese conferencescomplemented each
other on a broad range of disciplines such as Philosophy, Knowledge Representation,
Logic,ConceptualModelingandOntologyEngineering,Medicine,CognitiveScience,
andNeuroscience.DuetotheglobalCOVID-19pandemic,theconferencewasmoved
to a virtual venue, with tutorials, keynotes, and research presentations taking place
online to provide a safe environment for participants from around the world.
The topics of this year’s conference range from Formal Concept Analysis to
DecisionMaking,fromMachineLearningtoNaturalLanguageProcessing,allunified
by the common underlying notion of conceptual structures. The call asked for regular
papers reporting on novel technical contributions, short papers describing ongoing
workorapplications,andextendedabstractshighlightingthevisionsandopenresearch
problems. Overall, 27 submissions were received out of which 24 were accepted for
reviewing. The committee decided to accept 10 regular papers, 5 short papers, and 1
extended abstract which corresponds to an acceptance rate of 59%. Each submission
received three to four reviews, with 3:625 reviews on average. In total, our Program
Committee members, supported by four additional reviewers, delivered 87 reviews.
The review process was double-blind, with papers anonymized for the reviewers and
reviewernames unknowntotheauthors. Forthefirsttime, we organizedabiddingon
papers to ensure that reviewers received papers within their field of expertise. The
responsetothebiddingprocessallowedustoassigneachpaper toreviewerswho had
expressedaninterestinreviewingaparticularpaper.Thefinaldecisionwasmadeafter
the authors had a chance to reply to the initial reviews via a rebuttal to correct factual
errors or answer reviewer questions. We believe this procedure ensured that only
high-quality contributions were presented at the conference. We are delighted and
proud to announce that this year’s program included two tutorials, “Mathematical
Similarity Models” by Moritz Schubert and Dominik Endres (Philipps-Universität
Marburg, Germany) as well as “FCA and Knowledge Discovery” by Amedeo Napoli
(Université de Lorraine, France). Two keynote talks were also held during the
conference: “Towards Ordinal Data Science” by Gerd Stumme (University of Kassel,
Germany) and “Compositional Conceptual Spaces” by Sebastian Rudolph
(TU Dresden, Germany). Note that this volume provides the extended abstracts of all
the tutorials and the keynote talks.
As general chair and program chairs, we would like to thank our speakers for their

support and dedication to ICCS.
