Organization of DL 2017 (30th Workshop on Description Logics), Montpellier, July 2017. The DL workshop is the major annual event of the Description Logic research community. It is the forum at which those interested in description logics, both from academia and industry, meet to discuss ideas, share information and compare experiences. Meghyn Bienvenu and Marie-Laure Mugnier were general co-chairs and the team GraphIK was in charge of the local organisation (Jean-François Baget, Pierre Bisquert, Stathis Delivorias, Abdelraouf Hecham, Federico Ulliana, Bruno Yun, and the team assistant, Annie Aliaga, were members of the organisation committee).
-
Co-organization of the Graph Based Knowledge Representation and Reasoning Workshop associated with the IJCAI 2017 international conference. Madalina Croitoru, with Sebastian Rudolph (Univ Dresden), Pierre Marquis (Univ Artois) and Gem Stapleton (Univ Brighton), organized this event. This is the 5th edition of this workshop series that Madalina Croitoru initiated for IJCAI 2011.
-
Co-organization of the Workshop Reasoning on Data associated with The Web 2018 international conference (Lyon, March 2018). Marie-Laure Mugnier, with Catherine Roussey (Irstea) and Pierre Senellart (ENS Paris, Inria Valda team), are chairs of this workshop linked to the French national action 'Reasoning on Data' common to GDR MaDICS and IA.
-
Co-organization of the International Workshop on ASP technologIes for Querying large scale multisource heterogeneous web information (WASPIQ 2017) associated with the IEA/AIE 2017 conference (30th International Conference on Industrial, Engineering and Other Applications of Applied Intelligent Systems). M.-L. Mugnier, with Odile Papini (LSIS), Salen Benferhat (CRIL) and Laurent Garcia (LERIA), organized this workshop linked to the ANR ASPIQ project.
-
Organization of a Special Track on “Agronomy and Artificial Intelligence” associated with the IEA/AIE 2017 conference (30th International Conference on Industrial, Engineering and Other Applications of Applied Intelligent Systems). M. Croitoru and P. Bisquert organized this event.

Meghyn Bienvenu will be tutorial co-chair for the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) 2018.
Member of the Conference Program Committees
We are regularly members of the program committees of major conferences in AI or in databases (i.e., IJCAI, AAAI, ECAI, AAMAS, ICDT, PODS) and more focused conferences and workshops (such as RuleML+RR —Web reasoning and Rule Systems— and Description Logics). We also take part in the animation of the national community (JIAF, EGC, IC, BDA).

Leadership within the Scientific Community
-
Marie-Laure Mugnier, together with Marie-Christine Rousset (LIG), Véronique Bellon (ITAP, IRSTEA/SupAgro) and Olivier Palombi (LDAF-CHU Grenoble-Alpes) launched a national action (2017-2018, 2 years), named Reasoning on Data (Rod), common to CNRS research groups ('GDR') IA (formal and algorithmic aspects of artificial intelligence) and MaDICS (Big Data, Data Science). The aim of this action is to build a national community on the issue of knowledge representation and reasoning oriented towards better exploiting data. The first meeting was held in June 2017 within the MaDICS annual workshop. The second meeting will be held in March 2017 in association with the RoD workshop at the conference The Web 2018.
