I'm interested in researching knowledge representation as part of a PhD program. What universities are supporting research in the use and properties of conceptual information, e.g. in light of Sowa's "Conceptual Structures" (1984)? I've read about some work going on at RMIT (Royal Melbourne Inst Tech). I suppose that anyone grappling with frames/schemas/etc. could say they are exploring the use of conceptual information, in a broad sense. My interest is less in the application of schema-like data structures to specific problems than in the manipulation of the structures themselves, e.g. in generic conceptual recognition and generalization. As an aside: Is there anyone working with conceptual structures on connectionist machines?

There is an active research group looking at knowledge representation issues in the Dept. of Computer Science at SUNY Buffalo. The group is the SNePS Research Group, directed by Stuart C. Shapiro (I'm its associate director).
