PRICAI is a biennial international event which concentrates on AI theories, technologies and their applications in the areas of social and economic importance for countries in the Pacific Rim. In the past, the conferences have been held in Nagoya (1990), Seoul (1992), Beijing (1994), Cairns (1996), Singapore (1998), Melbourne (2000), Tokyo (2002), Auckland (2004), Guilin (2006), Hanoi (2008) and Deagu (2010).

Kuching is the capital city of the state, and a famous tourist spot with tropical breezes, museums, and lots more. It is easily accessed from Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Hong Kong, etc.
The Program Committee invites technical papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research in all aspects of Artificial Intelligence (AI). PRICAI 2012 aims to bring together a large and diverse community, which includes researchers, practitioners, educators, and users.
The 2012 Pacific Rim Knowledge Acquisition Workshop (PKAW)
September 5 - 6 , 2012
Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia 2012
PKAW 2012 is part of the 12th Pacific Rim International Conference on Artificial Intelligence.
The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for presentation and discussion of all aspects of knowledge acquisition from both the theoretician's and practitioner's points of view. While it is well accepted that knowledge is vital for our individual, organisational and societal survival and growth, the nature of knowledge and how it can be captured, represented, reused, maintained and shared are not fully-understood. This workshop will explore approaches that address these issues. PKAW includes knowledge acquisition research involving manual and automated methods and combinations of both.
We invite authors to submit papers on any aspect of knowledge engineering, management and acquisition research and practice. Research which addresses advanced application issues such as scalability, security, and robustness are particularly welcome. All papers will be peer reviewed, and those accepted for the conference will be included in the Springer LNAI proceedings.
